Social Change

@WallStreetApes Idiot. Illegal immigrants can’t get public benefits. And it’s not our money it’s their money. They earned it

This woman lived in a town called Northside in Fort Worth, Texas She says they have check cashing places that don’t check IDs, the area is Hispanic and after they get their money they walk across the street to the Western Union and send it to Mexico. There are lines of illegals “This little check cashing place called Cambiamos Cheques. It's a place where you go if you don't have a bank or very good ID, and they charge you a fee and you cash your check. And of course every Friday there was a line of people from the neighborhood, getting their check cash. And one thing I noticed one day is that certain people would go and cash their check in the, you know, the check cashing area. And then they'd move right down to the Western Union window where they would send money. Now I didn't know what was going on because I was new to Texas, new to the world, new to check cashing, new to all of it. So I asked my girlfriend, hey, you know, why do I see so many people in line at the Western Union? And she just said, oh, it's because they're sending money home. And I said, home? She said, yeah, like back to Mexico. They're sending money home. Then she's proceeded to explain to me that it's mostly illegal immigrants that are here working under the table, taking their checks and getting them cashed and then sending most of that money. They would keep maybe a couple hundred bucks out of their check and send most of it back to their families in Mexico. Now at the time, I didn't really think anything of it. But with all of the discussion about all of the money, that American taxpayer dollars have shelled out in order to support illegal immigrants in our country. I thought I would look into what that meant for both America and Mexico. So as it sits, as of 2023, Mexico is the second largest country in the world to receive remittance payments, payments from places like Western Union, and they receive about $63 billion a year” These illegals are sending billions of dollars of our money back to Mexico every year and then signing up for all our benefits so they get housing, healthcare, food stamps and everything else

@Laura4766030997 @LeadingReport You could not be more wrong. Or more un Christian

It always pays to do things the right way and through the right channels. Anyone that entered under the Biden program new in their heart that what they were doing was wrong. God has written his law on our heart. You cannot tell me they didn’t know that they were getting The cheat card.

BREAKING: DHS is sending notices to hundreds of thousands of migrants stating that their permission to live and work in the United States has been revoked and that they must leave the country, according to a copy of the notice obtained by CNN. The termination notice will be addressed to nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who came to the United States through a Biden-era parole program.

@DrMoniGutierrez @acosaorg @KUSocialWelfare @gkcceh @CSocialWorkEd @acosaorg thanks you for sharing this. It was such a great event

@LindaMcCorkle @EdKrassen That’s so not Philly where the rally was held. Trump had no overflow.

@EdKrassen Did they forget to post Trump’s overflow crowd outside??

No joke. The Kamala Harris campaign posted this on Truth Social. You know Trump has to be fuming.

@ThePhDPlace Learn how to ask your question in a way that doesn’t come across as an elitist snot. You shouldn’t need to be taught common decency. And there are a lot very hard working brilliant folks at non-ivies. You need to stop thinking that only ivies have excellent academics

Anonymous Update to a Question: ‘I see a lot of hate on a question I asked about publishing with someone from a non-Ivy school. I’m a PhD researcher, and I worked really hard to get here. I’m not about to ruin my chances of an academic career. Nobody teaches this stuff.’

@BidensWins In all fairness, that’s the only way I could sit through a speech by Jr

BREAKING: Donald Trump has fallen asleep during Don Jr’s speech. Looks like Donald Trump was one of the many participating in the 20% drop off in viewership of the Republican National Convention since 2016.

@AlanDettlaff I’d feel so much better if the gay Marxists were in charge

@johnwill382 @WrayLake @UCLA Not great work and we don’t appreciate this heavy handed and violent approach

@WrayLake @UCLA Great work by law enforcement. We appreciate all your hard work.

@AlanDettlaff Grading grading faculty meeting grading

@AlanDettlaff That money given to neighborhood public schools would make an incredible difference to the kids and communities

@Josh60426037 @RonFilipkowski She killed the animals. There were witnesses

This is a mental illness. She’s totally gone.

@sonsteng_person So important to put the weight of your hopes and dreams on the kids. That’s what parenting is all about.

@suzannepritzker Congratulations! Well deserved.

It’s official today! The path here was challenging in more ways than I could possibly have imagined. I am forever grateful for my colleagues, mentors, community partners & students without whom I never could have gotten here. Thank you for your friendship, support & partnership💛

Really pleased with this latest article on precarity in the human services doi.org/10.1515/npf-20…

@sonsteng_person @JSWE_CSWE It’s okay to turn some down. Don’t get sidetracked with these reviews.

@EJohnsonLCSW @CSocialWorkEd @CSWA_HoD @SWHG1956 What a great teaching and learning opportunity. Share this with your class and guide a critical discussion. Illustrates how white supremacy is embedded in so much of social work. Is it possible to decenter this tool? Or do we toss it?

As contract faculty I teach a SW class that requires students create genograms - something SW students have been taught for generations. I stumbled upon a SW textbook from 1937 touting that genograms are based on eugenics. Now what? #SWracism @CSocialWorkEd @CSWA_HoD @SWHG1956

@nasw @GovPritzker @ASWB @NASWIL So why have I heard of NASW national and some chapters engaging in highly questionable campaigns against social workers who are challenging the ASWB? You’re in bed with ASWB.

Alert: @GovPritzker signed into law legislation that provides alternatives to @ASWB licensing exam. Read @NASWIL press release to learn more about this significant development: tinyurl.com/2p8kp2ek

@DrBlackDeer I’m grateful that you focus on race and Make white folks uncomfortable (which is on them not you), that you focus on grief and loss and living with all the complexities. What you do should be highlighted not shamed.
