U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert claimed the federal government is giving undocumented families $2,200 a month. Other viral social media clips claim they’re getting $6,000 a month, maybe in cash, maybe in food stamps.
There are a few programs that do help refugees: for instance, Michigan gives a few qualifying refugees $500 a month to help with rent for one year. But in general, refugees and undocumented immigrants get much less government aid than even the little available to U.S. citizens. Most can’t get Social Security, Medicare, or even big parts of Medicaid.
These lies about immigrants cover for the people really stealing our tax money and starving the programs we need of funding—the capitalist class that runs this country.
