>This is the current issue affecting the country.
No it's not. It's a manufactured distraction being used through CIA mocking bird talking heads like Mr. Constipated AKA Tucker Carlson. The current issue affecting the country is gas and grocery prices, but grocery prices are a lot less sensational than identity politics.
>The government is already spending an annual $1.19 trillion on welfare programs. What are you personally doing or are willing to do for the poor, St. Francis? Are you willing to pay more taxes or even do charity work?
I actually do help the poor very frequently in terms of donating goods (food and clothing) and volunteering my time, which is why I hate the cognitive dissonance with the opiate issue. Conservative boomer talking heads despise low income and homeless people because boomers lack compassion and a soul. Meanwhile, they latch onto the opiate issue when it's their turn to be the victim (Rush Limbaugh almost went deaf from his opiates). Privileged boomers (the people you're listening to) grew up in an ideal world, had the perfect childhood, everything given to them because their parents grew up in a shit condition. Their parents were trying to give them the ideal life. The boomers got the perfect life, but instead of being grateful and passing it onto their children, they wrecked the economy for everyone else, became degenerate weed smokers and abusive alcoholics, and held their generational wealth all to themselves because millennials are "lazy" and don't deserve it, it's better to spend that generational wealth on a new John Deer tractor, a yacht, or a RV home. The boomers are one of the most abusive generations to exist and set their children and grandchildren up for failure, and then have the audacity to bitch about the homeless (victims of abuse and the terrible economy, both thanks to boomers) on the radio to retards like yourself.
By the way, the homeless on the streets are not the ones using welfare programs. Typically that's for people who have a home who are low income. I don't know where you get the idea that someone laying in the street barely conscious from drugs is able to: have a government ID to open up a bank account, have proof of a home address, pay for a cell phone and cell service to open the bank account, and then also have all the aforementioned mentioned as well as have money for means of travel to search and apply for jobs to provide proof of job search to even be applicable for welfare.
>You don’t live at a sanctuary city or border state or large metropolitan like NYC and LA.
Strange you assume to know where I live. You named the two most populated areas in the United States, no shit there's crime there. There's also a plethora of legal documented white people committing rapes, murders, and robberies in NYC and LA. You're going to get all walks of life in the most populated cities committing crimes. I can link or post pictures of headlines proving this, since apparently your reality is fear mongering news stories rather than actually going outside to see for yourself what life in the US is like. It's not to say every illegal immigrant is an angel, but most of them are families trying to scrape along like the rest of us.
>don’t care about national concerns since you feel safe and comfortable in your little bubble.
>national concerns
Yeah no I don't care about the "nation" because when you talk about the nation it's in terms of the CIA talking heads ushering in for more government control in the way they see fit for "the nation". Just like how homeland security was brought in for the safety of "the nation". I do however care for my fellow man and the people around me, so I do what I can to help. I don't always feel safe in my area. Did you miss the part where I said there's a large amount of homeless people where I live? They're on drugs and can be aggressive. The homeless are more of a problem than illegals, who in my experience are just like anyone else. The US isn't these major metro areas, the majority of the US is not those areas in terms of both population and geography. Have you ever taken a road trip or flown in a plane over the US? You'll notice it's almost all completely rural, with occasionally small towns in between, metropolitan areas being hours apart. LA and NYC are not representative of the vast majority of the country. I still see issues where I live, they're just very different from what the conservative media reports. I'm curious what state you're from? Or are you just reading highlighted stories from news articles?
>Undocumented immigration is what has turned NYC into a cesspool.
New York became a cesspool long before this week's news report.
>Immigrants are staying in hotels and living off the government. Do you want to pay for their expenses? Do you even pay taxes?
Strange that all of the immigrants around me have to work for themselves and aren't occupying any hotels, motels, nor any of the empty houses or empty commercial buildings. I have no choice whether I want or don't want to pay for their expenses. Yes I pay federal and state taxes and part of paying taxes is that the government spends it how they want, not how I want. At least in this scenario the taxes are paying for something in the US rather than funding wars to kill children outside the US or to fly up metal contraptions to "mars" for 6 billion dollars. I'm not saying everything is sunshine and roses everywhere, but the average American's experience is not the fear mongering you're hearing. The actual problems people face day to day is not what you're hearing on the news. As I said, it's basically grocery and gas prices driving Americans even further into a wealth gap, and in some cases poverty.
