Do these people realize that these federal programs don’t run out of money? You can’t “use up all the food stamps”. The one guy in that video was complaining that his disability was cut off, like that has anything to do with the Haitian refugees who can’t even get disability benefits.
Same logic as the welfare queen:
poor and collects welfare
super rich off of all the welfare they get
Eating all the cats / but also somehow eating all the dogs
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

And by “stealing jobs,” what Americans/reactionaries really mean is “god awful jobs that I’ll never even pretend to want.”
