That's just plain old-fashioned bigotry. Literally every culture on Earth has had some form of "never trust a <blank>" where the blank was whatever race, religion, nationality, tribe, ethnicity, etc was their neighbor or rival. Most people would treat it as a shameful thing from a bygone era if they had a grandparent tell them "never trust a <whatever>", it's quite unfortunate that you seem to agree with this sort of nationalistic bias and bigotry. Also, the US spends over a trillion dollars per year on the safety net. The federal budget for giving food to low-income people is $60 Billion per year, medicaid (free health insurance for non-working people) is $670 Billion per year, $51 Billion on housing assistance. There is also unemployment benefits if you're laid off, and you can keep the health insurance from your former employer or switch to a plan from healthcare.gov (which will be subsidized by tax payers if you can't afford to pay the premium). It's not a perfect system, but it's ridiculous to pretend there is "no safety net" when there is in fact an incomprehensibly large safety net.
