Get your facts before bloviating bullshit.

Did you READ THE ARTICLE?

It's a direct quote from someone in Arizona who WITNESSED this situation, and is a story about what is happening in AZ. From a pastor I happen to know is a Liberal. So you are saying the Liberal Hispanic Pastor lied? The article says the lines are shorter. Did you drive there to confirm that someone else is "bloviating bullshit?" How do you know that your stats apply to this story and to this situation? I remember seeing what happened in AZ after two major bills were passed that punished Employers for employing illegal immigrants. Complete blocks of housing were empty. Small businesses that catered to the illegal population disappeared overnight. Car thefts dropped in Phoenix - they went from #1 in the country, to #9 to #41 with the passage of the bills. Can I extrapolate that across the world? No.

But this is what the article said;

ASSOCIATED PRESS VIA DAILY MAIL

Phoeniz, AZ, pastor Antonio Velasquez says people used to line up from ‘3 in the morning’ to apply for food stamps and Medicaid at Maryvale district state office

But no one lined up one recent weekday morning, and there were just a handful of people inside

Velasquez says change is because of new rules that disqualify more people from green cards if they use government benefits

He fears immigrants, including citizens and legal residents, have dropped social services they or their children may be entitled to out of fear of being deported

But Trump administration says the change is ‘not a moral judgment on individuals, it is an economic one.’

Deputy Homeland Security secretary Ken Cuccinelli said the government expects immigrants to ‘be able to stand on their own two feet.’

Pastor Antonio Velasquez says that before the Trump administration announced a crackdown on immigrants using government social services, people lined up before sunrise outside a state office in a largely Latino Phoenix neighborhood to sign up for food stamps and Medicaid. No more. ‘You had to arrive at 3 in the morning, and it might take you until the end of the day,’ he said, pointing behind the office in the Maryvale neighborhood to show how long the lines got. But no one lined up one recent weekday morning, and there were just a handful of people inside.
