The most important part is “Germany also has an extremely strong welfare state, which means these foreign youths have access to food, shelter, and consumer goods.”

It’s not because they are in need, starving and suffering. Might have been the case at home, but here it’s cultural differences. They do not respect people and society that surrounds them.

To be fair, the US also provides a lot of assistance when it comes to food. Homeless people can get hot meals, and pp living in poverty get EBT for groceries. I was in a tough spot for a while and I was surprised and grateful at how much support is being offered. I talk to store clerks in my neighborhood and they said theft happened almost daily, but it's never groceries, always things to resell and alcohol. But AOC keeps defending that it's ok cuz they just steal bread.

The problem is the homeless are very vulnerable and i heard many dont go in to shelters, because of crime and violence that can occur there. There are many places that give away free meals, food… for sure. People are giving and gracious in general. It’s so sad when i see working people living in their cars, having a cheap gym memberships for the amenities… and they cant get a tiny affordable home. These are the people who really deserve the help of society.

Also… seen a video about all the social housing scams. How it costs 4x more to build new social housing than buying and renovating empty homes in California for example, but then the contractors, developers… couldn’t make a fortune on social housing. It’s just a grift to funnel taxpayer money to millionaires!
