Like does this affect SSI

[Anonymous]

With my understanding, then Trump is using it to punish his opponents, of course.

Like some train project or something in NY is going to be stopped, making it to be that thousands of Americans will be losing their jobs but who cares about that as long as the Dems get punished.

People that work for the government do not get paid until the shutdown is over. Basically giving them all a paid vacation.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Does this affect SSI?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Nothing important. Like they haven’t shut down the bot that takes taxes out of the money I earned.

nothing outside of illegals no longer getting healthcare

[DryGermanGuy]

Which they never did in the first place. Mega MAGA propaganda fail.

@DryGermanGuy Democrats are trying to include illegals in their fucking bill you simpleton

[DryGermanGuy]

No, of course they don't, as you can't provide any proof of it outside the same dumb failed MAGA propaganda. It's also not the Democrats' bill with House, Senate and White House in Republican hands. Start using your brain, if possible.

[Opinion Owner]

@DryGermanGuy Democrats are allowed to introduce and attach their bills you doofus

why even have Democrats in the first place if everything belongs to Republicans? yeah you should use your brain

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, they can make suggestions and have currently a blocking power. That’s it. Everything procedural lies with the majority leaders.
But all the procedures aside, Democrats never have and never will ask for healthcare for illegals, end of story.

[Opinion Owner]

@DryGermanGuy yeah their suggestions are attached to that one bill that gets voted in as one, not bits and pieces of a bill at a time

and they already gave healthcare to illegals during the Biden administration

[DryGermanGuy]

No, they haven’t and you can’t show a single piece of Biden legislation that gave healthcare to illegals.

@DryGermanGuy

better yet there's left-wing news outlets confirming illegals are overrunning hospitals

[DryGermanGuy]

I have no idea what constitutes an „overrun hospital“, but in any case that has nothing to do with the Democratic legislation, now or then.
Illegals get hospital bills like any other sucker in the United States, you can count on that.

[Opinion Owner]

@DryGermanGuy illegals have no money to pay for any hospital bills you dimwit. they're broke as fuck

[DryGermanGuy]

Wrong again, tax documentation over the last decades clearly show that most of them are working, obviously as they don’t receive any benefits.
Which - again - is completely irrelevant to your misunderstanding of the Democratic legislation, now or then.

[Opinion Owner]

@DryGermanGuy tax documentation? lol they don't even have any documentation. that's why they're undocumented immigrants

[DryGermanGuy]

You are astonishngly uneducated about your own country.

Quote:
"An estimated 11 million immigrants live in the US without authorization. Contrary to some claims, they pay a considerable amount in taxes. Some estimates suggest undocumented immigrants paid nearly $100 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022.

Like all US citizens, undocumented immigrants must pay taxes
Immigrants of any legal status are required to pay the same taxes as US citizens. Most have income and payroll taxes deducted from their wages. If they purchase a home, or any goods and services, they pay state and local property taxes or sales taxes like others in their community."

@DryGermanGuy oh we see undocumented illegals paying taxes alright when they take over apartment complexes, traffic drugs, women and children back and forth and living in luxury hotels without ever needing a TIN to identify themselves

nope you can't get a TIN without specific documentation and therefore can avoid taxes

[DryGermanGuy]

Well, duh, what a revelation. Illegal immigrants may break the law, just like legal immigrants, tourists, diplomats and U. S. citizens. What may surprise you though, illegal immigrants commit fewer crime than legal immigrants, who already commit fewer crime than U. S. citizens.
Which is all - again - completely unrelated to any Democratic healthcare legislation, now or then.

[Opinion Owner]

@DryGermanGuy ignoring the fact crossing the border illegally is a crime, yeah no shit citizens commit more crime overall because they vastly outnumber illegals

and it's certain communities responsible for most the crime anyway
