8,000 Utah families may lose food aid
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | 8-3-2010 | Julia Lyon

Posted on 08/03/2010 7:43:36 AM PDT by Technoman

A proposed change to Utah’s food stamp rules could mean nearly 8,000 households with undocumented members get less financial aid for food — or none at all.

Families qualify for food stamps based in part on how much income they make. In a household that has both undocumented members and citizens — such as parents with a child born in the U.S. — Utah officials have not been fully counting the earnings of undocumented workers.

Why are we paying anything to support illegal alien criminals and their anchor babies when they cost the U.S. tax payer 113 billion annually?

It’s time to seal that border, amend the 14th and arrest every greedy employer who even thinks about insourcing illegal cheap labor from south of the border. And once Arizona’s S.B. 1070 is held up in the U.S. Supreme Court, demand that a similar, if not tougher, law is written for your state.

We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens,including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border with a fence and armed troops, and have an armed response for anyone who tries to re-enter illegally. We should also permanently exclude from citizenship anyone who has been here illegally.

To turn America into a Third World, Socialist, utopian hellhole like Zimbabwe?

But there aren’t any undocumented workers IN Utah. Harry Reid told us so.

Because the less money you have the less options you have; IOW, it limits your freedom/liberty and is thusly fully endorsed by the federal government.

....”officials have not been fully counting the earnings of undocumented workers.”....

How do you count earnings of people with multiple identities who get paid in cash...who may or may not have working spouses.... who may or may not be ‘borrowing’ other children to increase $$ received.

Illegals have been taught how to rape our system and we’ve supplied them the opportunity to do so LEGALLY via birthright citizenship.

And this is a problem ... how?

Don't miss they key point here. They have TOO MUCH income to qualify for the aid, but because they are illegal and don't report the income, they get free food too.

This is fraud on top of fraud on top of fraud.

Read up on how the LDS church, Harry's church, shields their illegal alien "missionaries".

Utah is as close to a theocracy as this nation gets.

Sadly, the wealthy elites who create policy will never allow this, as it goes against their interests.

Do you ever wonder why politicians go so overtly against the will of the people once they are ensconced in office? It's because they do not answer to us. They answer to their elite masters. Politicians are merely their puppets.

Once you remove the scales from your eyes and accept this dynamic, it all makes sense, like why we STILL do not have a secure southern border, almost a decade after 9/11.

But you did miss the key point.

You completely missed it.

THE GOVERNMENT TREATS THEM BETTER, because they are illegal.

Does the IRS ignore my income, and allow us to pay taxes just on what my wife earns? No.

BUT UTAH ALLOCATES BENEFITS THAT WAY.

I think my head just exploded. Exscuse me for shouting.

You can buy a 6 pack of Bud at any 7-11 in Utah. Try that here in Pennsylvania where the theocracy is Big Daddy government.

I lived in Pennsylvania in the mid 60s, I had no idea the state still held the liquor monopoly.

Considering that drinking is more popular here than football, most people from outside the commonwealth can't believe it either though, technically, it is not a monopoly anymore since a handful of grocery stores have obtained licenses recently. Bottom line is that the ruling class puts up with it because it means more state revenue and more patronage jobs to dole out.

I lived in Reading in the mid 60s and if memory serves me, there was only one state package store, in that fair sized city at the time and that was the only place you could get booze to go. That was almost 50 years ago, they sure haven’t progressed much in that time period.

I loved the countryside though and the people. I’d scoot down to Lancaster occasionally (being careful not to mispronounce the name of their city) and buy me some shoo fly pie.

Thank you for pointing this out. This is the dirty little secret those in favor of amnesty won’t talk about. Virtually all illegal aliens in this country are engaged in fraud of some sort. They are using fraudulent IDs to work, at the very least.
