If I could get young people to accept one thing about the secular left, it’s that all the “nice” things that they talk about are always at other people’s expense. As soon as you ask them to solve a problem for someone with their own costs, efforts and risks, they say “I was thinking that we could have a systemic solution”. They’re always spending other people’s money, risking other people’s safety.

Here’s an article from the Daily Wire:

Dozens of seniors in New York, including a 94-year-old Army veteran named Frank Tammaro, were evicted from their senior center, which was then converted into a migrant shelter.

City officials have estimated that tens of thousands of migrants have entered the city since last spring, which is costing around $5 million per day. Mayor Eric Adams, who previously boasted about NYC being a “sanctuary” for migrants, has more recently complained about the influx of migrants.

Tammaro told Fox News that he had lived in the center for five years, and intended to spend the rest of his days there until he and the other members were notified that they were being kicked out. After he was evicted, Tammaro’s family found out that the center was turned into a migrant shelter.

“I do get upset when I see them handing out all this money and all these things, and I’m paying taxes and getting kicked out,” Tammaro said. “I’ve never got anything from the city. Or the state.”

Notice that this happened in New York state, which is denominated from top to bottom by Democrats. Democrats just feel better when they help illegal immigrants and refugees. They don’t get the same “buzz” from helping American taxpayers – especially if they have to use their own money.

Here’s another article from the UK Daily Mail:

A 96-year-old woman is facing eviction from her home of 22 years where she says she’s invested her entire savings – in a Democrat state where lawmakers want to give migrants $150,000 loans to buy homes.

Jean Jacques was given a three-day eviction notice from the Pacific Grove Senior Living facility, located on the picturesque Monterey County coast in California, KSBW reported.

The notice demands Jacques pays her outstanding balance of $110,000 or leave her unit, according to the outlet.

Meanwhile in California:

On Wednesday, state lawmakers approved the California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan program, which would provide no-interest home loans of up to $150,000 to illegal migrants to use on down payments and fees.

It now heads to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk for final approval.

The program was launched last year and has already provided thousands of first-time homebuyers with loans of up to 20 percent of a house’s purchase price.

People who vote Democrat often don’t think about the costs of being “generous” with taxpayer money to illegal immigrants. But it’s hundreds of millions of dollars for each state. Here’s one report about Mississippi:

Illegal immigration could cost Mississippi more than $100 million every year, a new report from the state’s auditor reveals.

The report, from Mississippi State Auditor Shad White, addresses the costs of illegal immigration for the broader country before delving into the ways illegal immigration places a financial burden on Mississippi’s education, healthcare, and public safety systems. The investigation comes as polling indicates that immigration is a top issue for voters heading into the presidential election.

[…]“Illegal immigration creates a financial burden for taxpayers across the country, but the cost of illegal immigration is not borne solely by the federal government,” the report explains, also noting that an estimated 22,000 illegal immigrants reside in the state. “Taxpayers from each state—including Mississippi—must face the reality of increased spending as a result of crisis-level illegal immigration.”

That’s New York and California. If I had to pick another Democrat state, I’d pick Illinois. Specifically, Chicago.

Let’s see what’s happening there:

Chicago has spent $299 million on the migrant crisis since 2022, including $215 million since Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson took office in May 2023.

Nearly 37,000 migrants have arrived in Chicago since August 2022. As of March 14, more than 11,200 migrants were living in shelters.

Right now, we are $36 trillion in debt, so we really have run out of money to be spending on illegal immigration. Who will pay for this debt? Future generations. People who aren’t even born yet. Their quality of life is being diminished by these secular left big spenders who are desperate to virtue signal to you about their great generosity. Therefore, vote wisely.
