    My manager was denied an increase is disability benefits today by the VA. Literally the next sentence was “If you’re an illegal though you get everything free.”

      If you ask “where did you read that?” the response will probably be that they were talking about it on fox news or OAN. Or maybe Twitter propagandists. Illegals can’t receive welfare or food stamps or anything like that. You need a social security number, or at least proof that you’ve applied for one. People with temporary legal status receive a temporary SSN, so if they overstay their work visa and become illegal, they also lose that SSN.

      Your manager could easily google these things, and the fact that he confidently spouts bullshit without even bothering to ask AI to verify first says a lot about him both as a manager and as a human being.
