Proposed Seoul Ordinance Would Deny Welfare Benefits to Foreigners Who Don’t Offer Similar Benefits in their Home Country
This is an interesting way to discourage foreigners from being a drain on public services:
A bill recently submitted to the Seoul Metropolitan Council to apply “reciprocity” to welfare and support programs for foreign residents has sparked controversy over potential discrimination.
Thirty-three council members from the conservative People Power Party submitted the proposal on Oct. 20, calling on the city government to “review reciprocity when implementing financial, education, housing and transportation support policies for foreigners.”
If passed, the ordinance would only allow foreign residents to receive city-funded benefits if their home countries offer comparable support to Koreans living there.
The draft further stipulates that foreign residents could be excluded from support programs if Korean nationals face discriminatory treatment or receive unequal benefits in the resident’s home country.
The proposal includes exceptions. Refugees requiring humanitarian protection, foreign nationals covered under bilateral or international agreements, as well as business owners and “skilled workers” would remain eligible for support regardless of reciprocity. The proposal did not say how skilled workers would be defined.

And thus no Chinese will be eligible.

Hold on there a minute.
Foreigners can get welfare?
How did i not know about this?
The deductions from my paycheck are currently more than I made in my first job in Korea.
And there is FREE money?
Clearly, I am doing it wrong.
Why is ChickenHead whining about not receiving Korean welfare when it’s just a Russiabot residing in @setnaffa laptop farm?
“Why is ChickenHead whining about not receiving Korean welfare when it’s just a Russiabot residing in @setnaffa laptop farm?”
All of Setnaffa’s Russiabots are receiving welfare.
He has mastered passive income.
Speaking of welfare, did anyone notice that all the SNAP recipients who vote more socialism are now upset that government controls their food supply?
Who’s gonna tell them?
The Minjoo party are absolute hypocrites, and do NOT have the best national interest for the Korean people. They are not any different from the crazy libs in America. Fake Lee Xiaming govt out!!
I think it would have been an interesting social experiment to see what would happen if SNAP was not paid for 30 days. Who thinks there would be 42 million dead people starved to death after 30 days of no SNAP? I think what would happen is no one would starve to death. If that is the case then what is SNAP really for?
“Who thinks there would be 42 million dead people starved to death after 30 days of no SNAP?”
I could only hope…
Protip: If you want to convince me the suspension of SNAP is a national nightmare, stop interviewing fat bìtches.
It is all a scam.
If I look at someone and don’t immediately see why they need government assistance, they don’t need government assistance.
They need to do a Job Americans Won’t Do™.
It does seem like every “starving person” with “food insecurity” is massively obese now.
(reminds me of the massively obese supposedly “completely healthy people with no comorbidities dying of covid”)
