This thread is take the girls comments to embellish, twist and make a lie.
She is not crying to have benefits from the government. YOU SAY THAT, OP. She is saying the (myth) undocumented immigrants take the government money is false. Her visa is extended (IF) she finish the high school, go to work or to the the military, is not the criminal felony. She can not collect the welfare. She is not complaining of this. She is complaining of the stupid people, the bias people that believe all undocumented immigrants is taking free money. No, is not true.
Actually she pretty specifically makes the point that she is hard done by when she says "I cannot receive financial aid from the state or federal government for school, I cannot benefit from unemployment, a reduced healthcare plan, or a retirement fund. I think I'm a pretty good citizen....."
She even made the point of posting her tax return, to flip off the president of a country she has contributed 300 bucks too, this is something that the Huffington Post made a big deal of.
Meanwhile, she has paid 300 bucks in taxes, her parents have probably paid roughly the same amount, and she thinks that she is hard done by, yet she chooses to remain here.
Its a simple choice if life here is so bad go back home. She most likely went to elementary/high school here given the fact shes exempt as a "dreamer", this cost the government 10k a year, she drives on our roads, uses all of our infrastrucutre, lives in a society that isnt a third world shit hole......
Bottom line she gets way more from the system than 300 bucks she paid in taxes, but she feels hard done by.
She also goes on too make the ridiculous statement "while the 1% wealthiest people in this country steal from you everyday?"
This is the one that irked me, i was paying taxes in the "1%" (although im not anymore,) I have paid hundreds of thousands of taxes in my life time, and im only in my 30's so it really incenses me when someone who pays three hundred bucks in taxes tells me i am somehow stealing, when i have never even thought of trying to access the programs she feels entitled too.
Guess what, I didnt use government aid for university, i worked and paid for it, i have never taken welfare, and i had no unemployment insurance when a trading firm walked away with 90% of my money, i have no government pension, and you dont see me making a big deal about it. I dont want anything from the government, I just want them to leave me alone, where as she feels like she is hard done by cause she isnt getting all the government cheese, when she paid 300 bucks in taxes, can you not see how that irks people?
