He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care. His children get free school breakfasts and lunches. The kids qualify for monthly SSI checks by faking ADD; the illegal and his wife get SSI bu faking being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for Medicare.
Plus illegals don't have to worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and they qualify for relief from high energy bills.
ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows illegals establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which these "poor immigrants" buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars). All those phony identities vote, too.
The illegal gravy train increases our costs---state and federal taxes, homeowners and auto insurance, utilities and healthcare, so that greedy illegals---violating our borders with their hands out----can enjoy a perpetual free ride on the US gravy train.
Next time a middle class American family puts off getting braces for one of their children, they should KNOW what illegals are costing them.
======================================
The Obama admin is a willing dupe of savage Third World governments----dutifully reciting latino agit-prop. Obama's treacherous plan to award US citizenship to illegals is a con game. Illegals w/ amnesty are dual citizens who swear allegiance to their home countries. THEY INTEND TO RETURN THERE----AFTER THEY DRAIN THE US TREASURY.
Liz, thank you so much for you reminders about how easy it is to get largesse from the US government. Part of me wants to give up all of my possessions and live off the teat, but I love my God, my guns, and my Liberty a little too much!
And as far as healthcare for illegals, that is slowly changing with the advent of biometrics in our hospitals.
I work for a major hospital system, and we implemented a palm scanning program at all of our EDs and registration kiosks where the incoming patient has to have their palm scanned to verify their identity. Indigent care is the highest cost for most hospitals in the US, and this system catches multi-immigrant homes with one SSN.
The first person who uses the SSN and scans their palm will be permanently linked to the SSN. If they try to use the same SSN for a different member of their family, it will deny them access to the facility. I opted out of this program on my visits to the hospital, but many are taking advantage of it; many of our local paramedic corps are using this technology to look up the identities of unconscious crash victims and the like.
Cool tech, but I’m not ready to give up my palm scan yet.
9/11/09 Texas school district turns away students from Mexico / By Mayra Cuevas-Nazario
(CNN) For years, children from Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, have attended schools across the border in Del Rio, Texas, but this week that changed for students who cannot prove residency. The local school superintendent imposed new regulations to stem what he said is a long-standing problem for the district. "I have seen van loads of kids with plates from Coahuila State (in Mexico) pulling in front of the school," San Felipe Del Rio School Superintendent Kelt Cooper told CNN. "Everyone knows what is going on. It's real blatant." Cooper, who joined the district 11 months ago, previously was superintendent in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, where he had to deal with similar circumstances. There, he remembered, he once had 32 students with the same home address. When district officials checked, the property was a vacant lot.
In Del Rio, Cooper said he began to notice "there was some slackness in the protocol" dealing with proof of residency. "Border towns are really unique," Cooper told CNN in a phone interview. "There is a lot of fluidity between the two cities. Having grown up in the border, I know this is very common." Last week, Cooper received confirmation from authorities at the International Bridge border crossing that some 540 school-age kids were crossing the bridge in the mornings. Cooper said the situation was "getting out of hand," and on Wednesday he dispatched district staff members to the bridge to talk to the parents accompanying their children from the Mexican side.
The staff was able to identify 195 students that could be barred from the district's schools if they failed to provide proof they lived within the district. Three of the students were Carla Gomez' children. In a phone interview, Gomez told CNN she lives in Del Rio with her sister-in-law, but she travels back and forth to Ciudad Acuna to see her husband, who was deported.
On Wednesday, Gomez was stopped by school district staff and received a letter saying that her children would be dropped from enrollments if she couldn't provide proof of residency. To prove residency, the district requires parents or guardians to provide an official document such as a utility bill, lease or proof-of-rent payment, none of which Gomez said she can provide since everything is in her sister-in-law's name. She said her only alternative may be homeschooling her children.
Cooper said he knows some of the parents who received letters are upset, especially those with children who are U.S. citizens. But he said the issue is a matter or residency, not citizenship or immigration status. "Citizenship is a moot point. It really comes down to whether you live here," Cooper said. "Frequently, they (Mexicans) come with the impression that their kids are U.S. citizens, so they can go to school here," he added. "I am not U.S. Border Patrol, Customs or INS. If you are a resident here, you get to go to school here, if you don't, you don't. This is not a matter of border enforcement."
A 1982 Texas Supreme Court ruling protects students from being discriminated upon based on immigration status, but Texas law states the student must live in a school district's area to attend a school within that district. Cooper and his staff are trying to work out a tuition system for students who cannot prove residency. He is in talks with state agencies to calculate an appropriate tuition fee, but the school board would first have to approve the program. "We are saying if we have room, you can pay tuition. We don't want this to be a burden on taxpayers.
Some of the parents we have talked to have expressed interest in paying tuition," he said. But as Cooper has learned this week, the tuition program has proven unsuccessful in other cities. He has spoken with three superintendents of other border school districts, all of whom have said to him they tried the tuition program but it didn't work. "I got the impression from them it was not worth the hassle," he said. But losing non-resident students could wind up costing the district. Cooper estimated that in a worst-case scenario, the district could lose some $2.7 million in state funding since budgets are based on attendance. There are currently about 10,000 students in the district. SOURCE http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/09/11/texas.border.schools/index.html?section=cnn_latest
The bigger problems is their (illegals) kids are rewarded with the same citizenship we have with all those benefits legally, after they are delivered in US hospitals at our expense. And then they grow up to vote democrat.
How to create a liberal? Put them on the dole at birth and tell them that is what saved them.
