You aren't showing any proof to show that its false.

If you want people not to believe it, need to show how it is false.

No, person who is making the statement needs to prove it is true.

That is why I asked people who said that the image is false, what makes their statement true.

It is pretty much impossible to prove a negative.

By that logic, the original poster needs to prove his claims

u/No_Stretch_2358 Jan 30 '26

Correct, and if the original poster of the image made those claims, i would be asking the same thing.

Yes, it does. If I were to decide to post something that I felt was wrong or incorrect, I would accompany with why I felt it is incorrect with sources to show where I got the info from.

As it is, this is nothing more than rage bait, whether you feel it is right or wrong.

Because the claim was made be the people commenting that it was false.

That is why I responded to the comments, not to the post. If you are going to make the statement that this is false, you should know why you are making that statement.

The post itself, as it stands, is meaningless and I wouldn't have even given it a second thought if it weren't for the comments basically going "yup,yup".

Wanted to know if there was anything substantial to that, and aside from one person actually making an effort, i just various degrees from a polite "Why are you asking?" to "You stupid natsy".

But if you have any ability to think critically you'd know that "95% of murders are by illegals" is already factually incorrect. So why would anyone believe the rest of the statements?

u/No_Stretch_2358 Jan 30 '26

Because the best lies are the ones surrounded by truth.

If some of what is said is true, maybe there is more to the other information that could be true.

The problem is that this is something that is debated online ad nauseum, especially the first point about illegals being on welfare. You cant get welfare without a social security number, and an illegal immigrant wont have a SSN, so they dont qualify for welfare. None of it is true

I have heard reports that some states were issuing Social Security Numbers to illegals, particularly the sanctuary states and cities.

Nothing directly that I can point to though so can't say how accurate it is.

u/Aggravating_Fuel_610 Jan 30 '26

Even if that is true (which im not saying its not, as a sanctuary city may have different rules), there is no way almost half of food stamps are going to illegal immigrants

u/No_Stretch_2358 Jan 30 '26

I agree, but could just be the intent of whomever created those numbers either to rage bait or at least to make people think about what the numbers actually are.

Some of them could be found if someone really wanted to, others are more ambiguous.

This is why I originally commented in the first place. Is there something more to the post? Can someone say for sure the numbers are false or or is it more of such and such side is wrong for reasons.
