We have enough money to help everyone. They money is going into business and to stimulate the economy (supply side economics). Members of our society will have to decide this for themselves. Do we help businesses or do we help people? the choice is yours.
Don't fall into the right wing myth about the unemployable refugee who lives on the dole. That isn't actually true. I know refugees. They are put to work right away and they are only supported for one year by the government. Most are entirely on their own without supports.
