moreno seeks to ban welfare recipients from sending money abroad

Trying to legislate his own selfishness on others. Such a scummy bastard. He was born in Columbia and migrated to the U.S. with his parents. Even with that personal history, he lacks empathy about personal aspirations, family ties, and sharing. My mother lived on a pittance from SS (gap babies) and yet saved money, and gave it to her kids or grandkids who needed it. I can see poor people trying to cover the bases, because I still see people doing it.

On top of his selfish outlook, he is also intent on slamming the door he came through in the face of others who wish to enter. Just like other recent immigrants, who are also serving in the congress. People with this outlook don't represent the U.S. melting pot. They represent themselves and their greed.

I couldn't get a decent link, but the story pops up on google.

Lived here from age 5 to age 18 undocumented. You’d think he would have an idea what that’s like. Instead, he does is kiss trumps ass.

We need a majority of moral, compassionate people to fix the loopholes. It boggles my mind how many cruel people live in the world.
