Trump wants to deport people here for medical reasons.

How this thread has changed and morphed...ha ha initial topic long gone.

Anyways, I'd say due to my taking of 'handouts' I guess some people may call it. I have gotten to a point that I have actually been able to hold a job for a few months now. It it wasn't for the alleged handouts, not sure what I'd be doing, I needed the SSI for income as I couldn't rely on my parents/family for financial help and medicaid to cover some treatment/therapy costs. And since then I have gotten better with the PTSD, Depression and Anxiety as well as getting vocational help to help with my social barriers so now I work at a big thrift store and lots of people there have disabilities or are a bit different or whatever so its not causing a problem there. I would like to be better at social interaction with co-workers but at least its not a dealbreaker there that I'm not.

But anyways some people need assistance, and it does seem overwhelmingly as though the republican party is much less friendly to the idea of providing any government assistance, than the democratic party generally speaking. I do wish there was a third option, but I don't really see it.

Instead of welfare, I became a failure most of my life.

Job firings, bosses made fun of me, co-workers insulted me, people laughed at me in job interviews because of my speech.

However, I gained experience, and knowledge, and eventually, I got a work at home STEM job.

Conservatives believe welfare "traps" people and "robs" them of such ambition. Especially, as they age, and have no work history.

I can’t work more then I currently am and it’s a lot for me, stressful every day.
Many can’t work or can’t work many hours, able body has nothing to do with it.

I'm glad that assistance exists for you. I am very happy to see those who need it have it. I want that assistance for you, my fellow countrywoman/men. However, I do not want public assistance money going to illegals. Because at this rate, it will not be available to citizens when they do need it. I don't know how old you are, but some autists will need assistance for a long time. Every well dries up if there isn't a gatekeeper... And the government will rob Peter to pay Paul, as evidenced by threats against social security.

That is what concerns me. Too many people overloading the system.

Legal impoverished immigrants should be helped to get on their feet, I'm for that too. It should be time limited, say 3 years. They have to master a new language, navigate a new culture, that takes a little while. Then, get a job, etc...
But, damn. We shouldn't be expected to sacrifice potential needed benefits for illegals. Our government has absolutely no problem saying, 'too bad, so sad,' to people who fall between the income cracks.

Quite the contrary, you said it's not brought up because it makes people who believe we have control of our lives uncomfortable. And I provided examples of how it is brought up to inspire people to take control of their lives no matter what. To laugh death in the face.

I'm just curious in America if an illegal immigrant with no "pesos" or "greenback" required life saving surgery or medical treatment would they be eligible?

In Australia they would.

Well, it seems like in the end death always gets the last laugh.

So, how is all that supposed to inspire someone exactly? In fact, it proves me right even more and it seems like not only am I right but it seems like those who believe this way suffer from cognitive dissonance.

Promote a belief system that says anyone and everyone who works hard do the right things can succeed and achieve the American dream. Yet, at the exact same time being told life is not fair and one is guaranteed nothing. But, ask people how both of these hold up at the same time there is all kinds of just dancing around the question as in the people who promote these things don't want to face the fact that we're not in as much control of our lives as we think we are. We as people like to think we have all of this control but we really don't. My conclusion is these folks have cognitive dissonance.

You're in IT I see. Well, I tried getting into it including work at home job but for me it was a bunch of Alice's Rabbit holes for me. Where everyone requires multi-skills where each skill requiring multiple years of experience. How can one gain experience if no one will take a chance on you. Start at the bottom? How? What does that mean? Where is the bottom exactly?

Getting a job is a whole bunch of Alice's Rabbit holes including their personality tests in which the questions can be open to interpretation.

I'm told to swing the bat. But, if I don't know where the stadium is at to go swing how can I swing? When I ask for directions, no one will give the directions or when they I have zero clue as to what they're telling me.

What I mean by able bodied are those who are able but not willing. You like me are willing but are unable.

Physically while out of shape I’m able bodied.
My issues are mental and conservatives say mental issues are just fake and excuse for laziness. Most I’ve talked to don’t consider autism, adhd, pstd, or anxiety real. Unless it’s a veteran with pstd.

My current work is exhausting mentally I go every day afraid I’ll be fired. The stress and anxiety from it is horrible. 12 hours is enough for me to barely handle.
Conservatives would expect me to go do some kind of labor based job. They’d throw me off social security in heart beat I’ve been told so.

I keep going cause I know I won’t get another job after this. Most places won’t hire part time.

It simply bolils down to giving it your best shot.

You are the one I see coming up with, "anyone and everyone who works hard do the right things can succeed and achieve the American dream".

You say stuff that I have only heard you say, that you attribute it to others. Classic strawman.

It's more like if you want to achieve the American dream you're going to have to earn it, it's not going to just walk up bite you in ass and say " I'm here".

I don't work in IT. I work in technical writing.

From my perspective, it seems nearly impossible for an ASD person to make it at a common people face-to-face job.

So, I would look at work-from-home jobs or trucking jobs.

For example, in the US, there are work-from-home government jobs that require minimal experience/education.

For example, "Tax analyst" , work from home, and review tax forms.

There are numerous work-from-home customer service (answer call) jobs that likely don't require much education or experience.
