The current government would take any money you give them and give it back to rich people in the form of tax cuts.

So no, I don't want to Venmo cash to somebody who doesn't need it.

That has always effectively been how government programs work, even if they launder it through poor people and immigrants first.

Except for in your example, the poor people and immigrants get to eat and sleep indoors and maybe one day become educated.

I won't make any assumptions about your politics, but I'm assuming that doesn't move the needle for you.
