Funny thing, Big Boy, I have been in a fair number of fast food restaurants here and elsewhere, and what I see working there are Americans, black and white. On the other hand, the couple of times I have been to the Emergency Room, I have seen quite a number of illegal aliens mooching health care and driving up the health care costs of Americans.

Suggest you seek some deprograming from your climate alarmist cult, the biggest doowmsday cult in history. Only those who benefit from it either in power or money or the really mindless lemmings believe that crap. Those charlatans keep putting out all sorts of dire warnings and dozens of them have passed the time by which they were supposed to have happened. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS HAPPENED or even come close. Only a brainwashed fool would keep believing their spiel.

If you bothered to read the linked article or even look at the chart in the post, Bobbie, you would know that the numbers are broken out specifically program by program for welfare, and the 59% number is for those who are on at least one of the different welfare programs. But you always seem to shoot from the hip instead of looking at facts and details.

I am most familiar with the seafood packing plants we used to have in eastern North Carolina, now mostly gone. Several decades ago they paid on a piece work rates, and those who got good at the repetitive process could make good money. In those days, most of the employees were black American ladies. Then the owners switched to low hourly wages and brought in illegal aliens to do the work. The black ladies lost their decent paying jobs, and before long the plants themselves started closing. A contractor I knew had a girlfriend who managed one of them. This is an example of what too often happens to American jobs from illegal immigration.

I had a former client who some years ago worked in a local chicken packing plant, and at that time most of the workers were like him, black American males. That has been years ago, and I have no idea if that plant has now gone the way of the seafood packing plants, but perhaps it has.

What part of "illegal" do you not understand. People who break the law should not be mollycoddled. There are lots of people who are applying to immigrate legally that we do not have room for. If we have extra immigration slots, they should go to those on the waiting lists who are applying legally, not to scoflaws who wantonly break our immigration laws.

Years ago, we had a legal and organized system of foreign migrant workers who applied for the program, had supervision, and went home when their work assignments were completed. It was called the Bracero program, but it was killed by the Democrats to butter up their labor union buddies. That would be a good program to have back.

The 59% get welfare is a dubious statistic and depends on the definition of welfare but I'm sure some do.
Lets take it a step further. Ever been to a meat packing plant? The owners and executives are citizens. The workers, not so much. Every time you buy beef, chicken, or pork, you are putting your money in the pockets of illegals.

That's just one industry. Wonder how much you would need to pay white American workers to work in meat packing? Wonder how much a pound of burger would cost if that were to happen.
My point? It's complicated. No easy answers.

What ever we decide to do, lets not come down too hard on any one group.

Well, maybe Republicans ought to start excluding Democrats who encouraged or participated in the ANTIFA / BLM insurrection of the summer of 2020 and the more recent Hamas insurrection at the US Capitol. We can start with Nanvy Pelosi who made a speech before the insurrection even broke out that "I don't know why there aren't riots in the streets, perhaps there will be" and Kamala Harris who participated in bailing out BLM and ANtiFA insurrectionists to get them back onto the streets. Even here in North Carolina, we have a Democrat running statewide for the Council of State who is in photos and videos confronted law enforcement in Charlotte in the middle of that insurrection. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The Democrats may end up regreting opening this pandoras box, which has never been done previously in the history of our republic.

The stinky power politics behind this anti-demorcacy ruling in Colorado is illustrated by the fact that the head of the organization that brought the lawsuit is a Biden regime appointee at the Department of Homeland Security and has held a series of Democrat political appointments in Washington, DC

The comment on this Colorado political hatchet job from El Salvador's president is ironic. El Salvador used to be known as a banana republic while the US was a paragon of democracy. Now those roles are precisely reversed. Add to that the obvious fact that Colorado has a politicized kangaroo court for a "supreme court".

"Justice Carlos Samour took particular issue with how the proceedings unfolded. He argued that Trump hasn't been charged under a statute that would bar him from office for engaging in an insurrection, so he hasn't had the constitutional rights that would have been afforded him as a criminal defendant."
