Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mike Michaud (Maine) says he is opposed to the idea of curtailing the eligibility for welfare payments to illegal immigrants.
“These people have undertaken a long, arduous, and often dangerous journey to get here,” Michaud said. “That took courage and determination. Welfare payments are a meager reward for enduring these treks. It would be niggardly of us to deny them after they’ve crossed the finish line.”
Under Maine law, illegal immigrants are not eligible for state funded welfare payments. Nonetheless, several cities have defied the law and paid out public funds to them. Portland disburses over $200,000 per month to ineligible illegal immigrants—a practice that Michaud promises will become legal once he is elected governor.
State Senator Eloise Vitelli (D-Augusta) said she supports Michaud’s position on the issue. “If we cut them off from benefits it’s like we’re telling them they wasted their time coming here,” Vitelli contended. “That seems a cold and unwelcoming attitude to me.”

Did the guy that just jumped the fence at the white house earn it too? I mean you would think Obama would have welcomed him in! and what’s up with the fence around the white house to begin with? I thought the left said fences are useless.
You need to quit, your making my blood pressure go up. lol
>>“If we cut them off from benefits it’s like we’re telling them they wasted their time coming here,” Vitelli contended. “
That is indeed the message we should be sending.
>>That seems a cold and unwelcoming attitude to me.”
Put them up at your house, pay for their food, clothe them and set up a school in your backyard. If yo don’t do these things it is YOU who is cold and unwelcoming.

Apparently, Lois Lerner does not have the corner on the market for nose in the air arrogance in the Democrat Party combined with a snobbish disdain for the little people

State Senator Eloise Vitelli at her best supporting welfare for illegal immigrants.
Your purpose for posting this trash is to discredit Free Republic, FR posters, and other conservative sites by tricking posters into reposting links to your hoax articles as if they were true.
Grrr. Why not report what he actually said, instead of half-satire? We are trying to defeat these RATs.
