Let's see if there is any common agreement over this/these issues. Charity, We receive requests here at home all year long for financial assistance from charities, some we are very sympathetic with. How do we arrive at a sensible common sense decision. How much money is available that is not immediately needed or will be needed in the near future? Can we do that without putting this donation on a credit card or necessitating using a credit card for our own needs? Principle one: If cash on hand is not available, we choose to pass on this charitable opportunity.

Now begs the question: How much CASH RESERVE MONEY does the U,S. have to even consider being charitable in this instance?

Since that answer is NO CASH AVAILABLE, and over extended on credit, we should spend no more than it costs to remove them (they are here illegally) from the necessity of providing for them on the credit card! Depriving Americans is not American governments rightful business!
