Why does the government help immigrants when they move here instead of helping the poor who have been here since birth?
<|assistant|>
The government helps immigrants when they move to the United States because the government recognizes the right of people to seek better lives and pursue the American Dream. Many immigrants are fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries, or coming to America for better access to opportunities such as education and employment. The government provides assistance to immigrants to make the transition smoother and to ensure they have the same access to resources as any other citizen. Assistance may include things such as helping them apply for citizenship, providing resources to learn English, and helping with accommodations and education, while still prioritizing support for those in most need and targeting resources to help those who need it most. Additionally, many immigrants who come to the US have unique skills and experience that are beneficial to the American economy, and the US is able to benefit from these new contributors to the workforce.
