If they can afford such nice cars, then how are they poor enough for Section 8 housing in the first place???

Because all of their income is cash under the table.

The SSN they apply under comes back with diddley squat for income (likely a kid's), and any income is cash and never claimed.

Unlike some segments of the population, many of those from South of the Border are good and able workers, and have no qualms about gaming the system.

The majority of their income is "off the books" and therefore, not discoverable, or taxable. Poor on paper = welfare benefits up the ying yang.

What pisses me off more than anything is I'm driving a 13 year old GMC piece of sh*t. Every single one of the vehicles pictured in this thread is light years better than what I'm driving --- and I work for a living.

Who's the fool here, me or them?

Comrade, you are clearly racist. Report for re-education immediately.

Perhaps because they don't report their actual income when they apply for the subsidized housing, or a single female applies for the housing and then her boyfriend/partner/husband moves in with her and their kids.

There are several answers. I had renters buying steaks on EBT and selling them for cash. They were also growing marihuana on my property. When I was at the welfare/unemployment center the clients couldn’t use their cell phones inside. They’d step outside and lean against the mirrored wall-sized window where I was taking a “free” computer class. They’d talk about committing robberies, selling/buying drugs, prostitution, etc. They are making plenty of money. They just don’t report it.
