    There’s heavy propaganda and misinformation in the Hispanic community about illegal immigrants. They hate people from South America and they believe that asylum seekers are getting thousands of dollars a week in food and housing assistance as well as direct payments. My Mexican coworker was telling me he saw a guy bragging about it on YouTube around the time of the election. There was recently a viral post claiming you could get $750 if you turned in an illegal, which isn’t true.

        Why pay for something that deranged right wingers would happily do for free?

          Just claim that you’ll pay them, and then don’t. They love it every time Trump pulls that. That’s what makes him a good businessman don’tcha know

        Didn’t I read about a state offering bounties?

        Edit: Yep. Or at least proposed a bill.

      Saw a guy bragging on YouTube and didn’t even stop to consider that the dude was just full of bullshit?

      God damn, we’ve lost all ability to think critically.
