Senator questions benefits to ‘adult baby’ (Coburn going after sickos disability fraud)
The Washington Times ^ | 05-17-11 | Stephen Dinan

A key senator has asked the Social Security Administration to investigate how people who live their lives role-playing as “adult babies” are able to get taxpayer-funded disability payments — after one of them was featured on a recent reality TV episode wearing diapers, feeding from a bottle and using an adult-sized crib he built.

Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senate’s top waste-watcher, asked the agency’s inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr. and his roommate, Sandra Dias, who acts as his “mother,” saying it’s not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.

“Given that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time,” Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr.

Another one I saw on the news this morning was the $20 million parking project in San Fransisco, called SFpark, its backed by the Transportation Department and the Federal Highway Administration. Its a phone app to help San Fransiscans find parking spaces.

SSI checks are a fave scam of Third World invaders to cash in........as they ride the US gravy train under several identities.

<><> First they get a latino Congressman to show them the ropes in exchange for votes and campaign contributions (exchanging gratuities for campaign help is a felony).

<><> Illegals then get their kids to fake ADD and get latino doctors to sign off on the scam.

<><> The illegal and his wife get SSI by faking being aged, blind or disabled.

<><> Getting SSI also gets them free healthcare on Medicare.

<><> All of it is collected with one identity---evidence shows illegals use multiple identities....all riding the US gravy train.

How do "impoverished illegals here for a better life" get fake documents? By paying document brokers several thousand dollars. Read on.

=================================

July 21, 2006----BERGEN RECORD, NJ

Texans accused of selling counterfeit IDs (impoverished illegals "here for a better life" pay several thousand $$$ for fake ID's)

Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said.

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses---- for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. Authorities wouldn't identify the NJ hotel by name for fear it would spark retribution. The Drug Interdiction Task Force regularly runs checks.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. Authorities approached the Texas brothers when they returned to the NJ hotel and questioned them separately.

The Texas brothers consented to a search. Police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs. All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####

"You wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I don't care," the California man said. "I have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag."

I'm okay with that. You okay with that?

I don’t know, I’m pretty ruthless. You might be surprised at what I can do in a month.

Might not hurt to appoint an executioner in case I try to hold power for more than a month.

If only taking away these fraudulent payments from this type of human debris would result in all them ‘checking out”, we could have this country strong and vibrant again in no time.
