Conservatives are often nice to people they know. The in-group. The problem is when it's a scary other. So they'll let Jose couch surf for a week while he sorts out his housing situation, because he's a good guy down on his luck, but they'll rage against Those People getting anything.

You can't just kill them. You need to deal with the forces that enabled them. But getting rid of them would be a good start.
There's a whole Wikipedia article on that phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi
