RE: People who came in my city and stayed to find work or just to live are not really welcome In my city these people can come from other cities and get paid to work here…
Asked on December 22, 2021 in American english.
In the Southern US, there is a common term for this kind of person. Is it a carpetbagger? The term was used after the Civil War to describe people who came from out-of-town, generally the North to describe how they carried their possessions – in a bag of carpet.

RE: You may recall that the rebels were able to draw on the support of over 20,000 troops. Currently the rebels have a population of nearly 5000. The rebels are focusing on taking control the entire rebel village.
Asked on July 29, 2021 in Word choice.
Could is a conditional and past tense indicator of can but could

means both “were able to” and “would be able to” I

believe your confusion is involving the unique dual tense usage of this verb.
