The Sigh at the Checkout Line

At the grocery store, my mom paid with EBT. The man behind us glanced at the screen and muttered, “So that’s where my taxes go.” She pretended not to hear and kept bagging food—milk, eggs, bread. Nothing extra. I understand why he’s angry. But without that bag, we wouldn’t have made it that week. #ImmigrationStories #SNAPDebate #TaxpayerVsImmigrant #EverydayAmerica
