Food is the least of it, and the least expensive part of welfare. There's health insurance, and there's also low-cost daycare. Being ineligible for low cost daycare means that full-time minimum wage workers would resort to either working only part-time to meet the minimum, or completely quitting their job once they realize practically their entire paycheck is going to pay for daycare.
The #1 reason that Americans go into bankruptcy is because of medical emergencies or health issues.
So you mean to tell me you want a decent standard of living but then want $15 per hour minimum wage workers to struggle with medical and daycare costs, okay. 
The medical / health care industry needs to be reformed, that's an entirely different issue. Personally I'm for socialized medicine, with optional private healthcare.
Daycare is your own responsibility, have grandma watch your kids while your at work.
Maybe people should think things through before having kids they can't afford while simultaneously running away from their families. Don't have family to help out and you're poor? Don't have kids, use protection, have an abortion, jump off a cliff.

There's enough to under cut wages for low-skilled workers and ultimately lower wages for all workers.
In any case I definitely support deportation of illegal immigrants.
As far as where to put them if they're not welcome in their home countries or won't declare, don't care. Throw them in Canada.

Having kids is a choice, why would low wage earners choose to have children? It makes NO sense.
The one number one cause of poverty? People having children they can't afford.

"is about police violence"
Not true, they're sticking their noses in everything at this point. http://blacklivesmatter.com/guiding-principles/

This mentality doesn't provide a solution to anything. The kids are already here, you can't put them back.
"Daycare is your own responsibility." This coming from an obviously childless young male who has absolutely no idea what daycare costs are (it is around $1,000 a month for a cheap one, by the way, up to $4,000 a month for a more expensive, round-the-clock one). That's the cost of rent. How exactly is somebody supposed to work and have children?
Or are you suggesting that only people who make $7,000 a month per month or more should be designated to have 1 child?

Well no shit it's your responsibility. But having grandma to help is a luxury and not everyone has family to help.
Child care costs out here are fucking ridonkulous. Like Crystal is saying, 1000 a month is about the baseline... and that's for like HALF days at some shitty place, where the kid has to leave at like 1pm. You want full time daycare where you can actually go to work.. its usually about 2k-3k a month.
My girl's family all live in Japan mine all live on the other side of the country so we have no help.
Her brother and his wife who live in Japan both work.. and they pay for full time daycare.... 350 a month.

Yes, that's a tidbit that I forgot to mention, that the $1,000 daycares are usually only for half-days, not even full days, and you have to pick your kid up in the early afternoon.
$350 a month sounds more reasonable, paying double the cost of your mortgage for daycare is pretty ridiculous. Shouldn't daycare theoretically be CHEAPER than hiring a nanny, considering a bunch of parents are paying to drop off their kids at daycare at the same time?

No. Daycare should cost what the providers wish to charge.
Can't afford it? Don't have kids.

If you want a solution, start a daycare center with affordable rates.
Hiring strangers to watch ones kid shouldn't be option A in the first place.

they are somewhat promoting black power. there would be a shit storm if there was a WLM(white lives matter) movement 
besides, black people never do anything wrong do they? they are all law abiding citizens.

stop making up bullshit
I am not, you have to understand there's many different types of banking and finance, there's mortgage banking, there's insurance and annuity sales, there's foreclosure advisement. These fields of finance don't make nearly as much as investment or hedge fund bankers. Those that actually do pay a flat hourly salary as opposed to commission, might pay $15 an hour with decent enough experience.
Just as being a bank teller is still technically "finance," yet you make $12 an hour or so.
oh shit, I had no clue I was so fucking stupid
how long will you stay at a job where you make less than $2000/mo working 70 hours per week? at straight time that less than minimum wage, about $7/hr and I've never known anyone in any area of finance that made so little and worked so much, not ever. not even on straight commission, would you like to know why?
because they get sacked if they arent generating revenue
you make shit up, you try and pass it off as legit

black lives matters is about pushing a false, racist narrative that blacks are unfairly targeted and killed by police. it's not about police violence or they'd be addressing the issue that whites are shot twice as often with police encounters than blacks

they do get tax breaks if they work, in fact they get more than they paid in, a lot more, the system is set to incentivize having kids, $2500 per future welfare recipient

Some families use neither of those benefits, but they still use subsidized healthcare or daycare.
