Answer 1

A Class called "Food Stamps in Four Hours."
WTF !?!

I am serious this is outrageous.
You know times are Bad when they start offering classes on How to get food stamps. omg this is crazy.
And yes we all know that illegals have been able to receive benefits, some people just want to act like it doesn't happen. They are blind to the facts OR they just don't care. It would be "anti human" (lol) to deny them any type of food stamps/ benefits!!

good post

Answer 2

I really believe in the food stamp program after I saw alot of hard working Americans lose their jobs because they were sent to India and had a hard time finding jobs.

But here is my problem I make a decent salary 30 G but with the cost of Elec ,gas etc. It is getting harder for me as An Legal American to just get by and no one is giving me food stamps . Hell I wish they would but I went up to the Food Stamp place to try and it was filled with Mexicans more than any other race. Does this tell us something and what? I do not want to be racist but I have to fight and pay to be a Legal American everyday why should a illegal be able to come to my country and get the very things I can not for free?

The people that really P*SS me off are the people that hire illegals. Hell when I get a job I have to give SS# DL# High school Diploma, College diploma, DD214. Just to get considered and I am A Freaking American.
WE have Laws about this we just do not enforce them,That says alot about our Justice Dep. And to be honest Both REP AND DEMO have this issue messed up.

Answer 3

ANYONE can apply for Food Stamps and get them. But do you realize what a puny amount the state gives and before they give another month's, they've already suspended the benefits and bill the recipient for reimbursement. There's nobody getting anything for free if you know the government systems. My aunt works for the county of Los Angeles as a social worker for welfare, general relief, WIC, etc. and California has made major social service changes to try to deal with it's billion dollar debt. I don't like anyone getting anything that they haven't worked and earned either, but after working and living all my life doing labor, I know better than to think I'll have my Social Security pension to survive on at the end, not with the shape of the economy and how the government isn't focused on its own people anymore.

Answer 4

I live in Colorado and know first hand that ILLEGAL immigrants cannot receive food stamps. Legal immigrants are eligible and legal citizens, such as anybody born in the United States. ILLEGAL immigrants also cannot receive medicaid or public housing assistance. ILLEGAL immigrants are not leaching off of our public assistance. But what many of them are doing, is paying taxes under false Social Security numbers and never filing for returns or tax credits. They are paying into the American tax system and Social Security fund for benefits they will never be eligible to receive. The majority of illegals that I know are working, paying taxes and buying their food with the money they have earned.

Answer 5

I was born here, my brothers & sister were born here, my parents were born here. We were poor when I was growingup. My dad & mom both worked at dead end jobs. But back in the 40s early 50s we had no food stamp program. The town or city provided assistance but you had to repaty it back with your labor.Every time my dad got help from the town (food , heating fuel help) he had to work for the town every weekend until it was repaid. NO FREBIES.We learned at a very youg age to help yourselfs as much as possible. Nothing was give to us that we did not repay. To day to many people think it is their right to have someone else take care of them instead of them taking care of themselves.Thank theDemocrats for that .

Answer 6

My thoughts are that while bureaucrats should not try to keep people who are qualified from getting programs, it was a mistake to have their power determined by the size of their program arm, so that the more taking benefits makes them more important. I think seeking out those illegally here for more benefits is an example of someone who should no longer hold his position.

I also think this is very poor tactics at this point in time, and wonder if lack of IQ shouldn't be sufficient reason to remove him from the job.

Well, you did ask my thoughts.

Answer 7

They're here and their American-born children are here. My thoughts are that everyone should receive a minimal amount of food and health insurance through government funds (administered by private entities.)
