sure you can. You can cross the border illegally, then when caught, claim asylum.

Nearly all of these asylum claims are not valid, as at present, im sure we dont have governments persecuting its citizens causing them to come here. However, there are millions here who have never been caught. The number they keep telling us is the KNOWN number of illegals. We have no idea of the true number of illegals who are here.

However, dems considers anyone who has claimed asylum as "lawfully present" and wants them to be on government Healthcare. They broke our laws to get here, and now are making fraudulent asylum claims. Nearly all of them are here for economic reasons, and whats more is, many of them have no interest in becoming Americans, they are just using the system to come here and make money so they can send it home with the intent of returning home themselves.

That's only within the first year. But if they've been living here illegally for who knows how long then no. Also, simply claiming asylum doesn't grant automatic entry, much less healthcare. Legally present is only for immigrants who already have legal status.

Do you review asylum claims to actually know that? The US already knows what's happening in the countries these people are escaping from. It wouldn't take a genius to know refugees would prefer the US over their own country.

 

[OldFlame]

don't count them out yet ! and I think it would be a huge political win if Republicans use the nuclear option and reopen the gov ! can you imagine the campaign adds for the midterms ! we opened the gov to keep people from going hungry because Dems shut it down to cause people to go hungry !

I hope you're right.

 

[ThisIsMe]

What are the democrats doing about it?

Answer: Not much (from what I can tell).

This is the equivalent of Hamas using civilians as human shields.

They aren't doing anything about it. Thats my point.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You don't have to lie to kick it bruh.

No lies

 

[ThisIsMe]

I think they might get hungry.

And they'll be upset too. Im just not prepared to starve children for political bickering. Pass the bill, then make sure to put all of this squarely in dems faces come midterms and 2028.

 

[ThisIsMe]

It's not exactly a well known secret that if you take away their freebies, they will compensate by theft instead of getting a real job, which only reinforces the point that they just want free shit without having to work. But, the solution isn't to just give them free shit so they don't steal.

The solution is to pass a clean CR, and dems are unwilling to do that. They want concessions for illegals ahead of feeding starving people.

Lets make sure the country sees that they blocked the clean CR, that they previously agreed to, 13 times, that would have prevented all of this.

 

[Invisibleflash]

It doesnt mean they are right, it means that they have proven they are willing to sacrifice Americans getting snap benefits because they are unwilling to allow a CR that funds the government at current levels because they HAVE to have Healthcare for illegals in any bill, even a bill that just says "hey, let's keep things going for now while we argue about the main bill"



I cant verify the reports of looting he claims but he makes some very salient points.

42 million Americans are about to lose access to food. What do you think that will cause? There WILL be looting, civil unrest on a mass scale, and when people are in this situation, they wont look at democrats, they will look at trump.

Among these 42 million Americans are those who really need assistance as well as those who are gaming the system, but in all of that are children who need food.

Democrats have proven they are willing to put Healthcare for illegals ahead of keeping the government open. They call them "lawfully present'" those who are here illegally but claiming asylum or refugee status, which anyone crossing the border can claim that, and dems fight to keep them here, so now they are trying to get Healthcare benefits for them in the new bill. This is why they are unwilling to sign any bill that doesnt include concessions for the Healthcare subsidies and benefits for those "lawfully present".

Democrats know this will ultimately come back on republicans because they can get out the messaging with all the attention they are getring through these protests. Which is bullshit, because I dare say, none of these dems actually care about the issues, its just a way to act out their anger against trump and take any advantage they can to make the right look bad.

For this reason, to avert people losing access to food, we must sign concessions but make damn sure the people know why all of this happened and what the dems did here.

I know many will push back on me, and thats fine, but as the guy in the video said, there are larger concerns here that need to be addressed, which is the potential for mass civil unrest/violence, looting which will lead to bare shelves, and a hit on local economies.

Obviously this is just my opinion, but im now going to don my flame retardant suit as I expected to get hit from both sides on this one! So...let me have it!

I'm shopping Friday, ahead of the negro shopping sprees.

This is AI...

Following widespread social media rumors about potential looting related to a lapse in SNAP benefits, Walmart is reportedly increasing security measures for November 1, 2025. Sources indicate that stores have been advised to prepare for panic buying and other security risks, though the company itself has not officially confirmed these specific actions.

Context of security concerns
Reports indicate that the USDA has stated that SNAP funding could run out on November 1 if the government shutdown continues, leaving millions of Americans without food assistance.

This federal funding issue has fueled unverified and inflammatory claims on social media platforms like TikTok, falsely alleging that SNAP beneficiaries plan to "loot" Walmart stores. In response, Walmart has already been testing or implementing heightened security measures unrelated to this specific rumor, such as:

• Body cameras for employees, which are currently being tested in some locations.
• AI-powered surveillance and RFID technology to track merchandise and deter theft, especially at self-checkout lanes.
• Increased security presence, with reports of real police officers being stationed in some stores.

Walmart's response to rumors
While increasing security in response to the rumors, Walmart has officially debunked the most extreme claims about store closures:

• Stores will remain open: A Walmart spokesperson told Snopes and other outlets that stores will not be locking their doors or shutting down on November 1.
• Operations continue: The company confirmed that in-store shopping will proceed as normal.
• Origin of the rumor: Fact-checking sites have traced the viral claims back to misleading and unverified TikTok videos.

No, we do not! I do not wish to spend $1.5 trillion dollars for campaign ads. Neither should you. How much better will the campaign ads be when potentially thousands of people are arrested and locked up because the Democrats were obstinate? The DEMs hopes are already dying. This could be the final straw in breaking their backs!

So who's going to blink first, when kids are going hungry and people are raiding store shelves? Its clear the dems care more about the illegals than they do the citizens, so i dont expect they will give in. They are hoping for this, hoping they can use it for political clout in the future. I say let's reverse that on them and gain votes, and fight this fight another day.

It boils down to, are we really going to force kids to not be able to eat.

 

[ThisIsMe]

republicans need to take the nuclear option and open the gov ..and when they do it they can win the native by saying they had no choice because Dems were willing to use hunger as a political weapon !

Exactly

 

[ThisIsMe]

Democrats are calling asylum claimants to be "here legally". They believe that all people here legally are entitled to be on our Healthcare system. They are gaming the system.

What makes you think moms are going to drag their kids to a grocery store to ransack it for food? You watch too much TV.

Riots and looting during riots are usually done by young urbanites. I have never seen a mother dragging three sperm donor's kids along with her at Trader Joes shoplifting Hostess cupcakes. To do so would be comical.
