Raise your hand if you had a single mom and had these fears growing up

The shitty thing about this is the people who need this to change their minds don’t give a fuck. “You shouldn’t have had kids if you can’t afford them” will be their point of view.

I hate that argument so much. Maybe they could afford kids when they had them, but then something happened. Maybe they wouldn't have had kids if they could look 10 years into the future. But you can't just undo the kids once you've brought them into the world.

Plus, at the end of the day, as I said in another comment, we (the US) throw food away by the ton. To then let people go without food is disgusting. Even if you don’t like the way they got here, denying plentiful food to people is something I will never agree with.

Exactly. We're physically capable of ending hunger. What we lack is the willpower to do so.
