Thanks for keeping us up to date, NRT.
The woman in the article is foolish, if in fact the story is true. MSM has been known to lie to further their agenda. How stupid is it to let someone use your identity???
I've been on the Terri threads all week, but haven't posted much. There is a correlation between her murder and the inability for the government to protect our national borders. The tie-in is corrupt government. Freepers can dig like no one else can, and what they have found in Florida is sickening.
Let's see, America can liberate whole countries, but they can't prevent a woman from being murdered here? We can topple dictatorships overseas, but we can't stop illegals from coming across our own borders? DCF(and all its manifestations) has the power to remove homeschooled children from their homes just because they're being homeschooled...but can't seem to properly investigate 15 years of abuse complaints, when they concern Terri.
It is astounding that Michael Schiavo has broken hundreds of guardianship rules, and will most likely get away with it. Freepers have uncovered reams of evidence tying him with the local police department. I couldn't understand why the Schindlers police report following Terri's "collapse" was never investigated. Here's why: Michael Schiavo's gf of 10 years, Jodi Centonze. Her mother worked for the Sheriff's Dept. for many years. MS and Jodi met through her. MS, upon completing nursing school, was given a job as a nurse in the jail. Mrs. Centonze was friendly with the former Sheriff, now a representative. His last name is Rice. He's pals with Judge Greer. The judge and MS's attorney, Felos, have long standing connections through that Hospice's board of directors. There is a lot of money to be made, and they'll stop at nothing to get their dirty mitts on it.
The stench coming from Florida is putrid. Look it up for yourselves. You'll be shocked. That hospice has commited Medicare fraud to the tune of approximately 14 billion dollars. Our government on all levels has become so corrupt, that I don't see how we can have safe borders and control of who comes here currently. Drag a dollar through Washington DC, and prepare to get trampled.
My prayers will be with the Minutemen, as they do the job no one else is willing to do. A bright light needs to be shined in all the dark corners of our government. May God protect them, and arm them with strength and wisdom.
Wishing you all a blessed and joyous Easter.
Here's some immigrant-related fraud. Billions here and billions there pretty soon it adds up to a trillion. A little US Senator Everett Dirksen talk there.
"The checks are in the mail - illegal aliens benefit from Earned Income Tax Credit," National Review, April 17, 1995 by Roy Beck
This old article shows that fraud (IMO) is persistent and it ain't just ILLEGAL immigrants.
"As usual, the cumulative costs from legal immigration tower over those from illegal . . .IRS records indicate some $250 million in EIC subsidies for illegal aliens in 1990 . . . But . . . five times that amount [is] going to legal immigrants. . . . Why should the government continue to allow legal entry of hundreds of thousands of low-skilled foreign workers when U.S. taxpayers end up subsidizing them (and their employers) . . . ."
Another source says, "Between 1997 and 1999, the IRS issued some $2 billion in erroneous Earned Income Credit payments to illegal aliens." (Those are the years when the size of the SSA's Earnings Suspense File, ESF, began to explode indicating a huge increase in the use of bogus SSNs)
What about today and "regularization" (guest worker amnesty)? A CIS study says, "Illegals currently account for only 1.5 percent of the program’s [EIC] total costs, but if they were legalized their use of the program would grow tenfold because with legal status they would no longer need stolen or bogus Social Security numbers to get the credit. This dramatic rise in costs is not due to laziness on the part of immigrants. In fact, only those who work receive the EITC. The dramatic rise in costs simply reflects the low educational attainment of illegals and their resulting low incomes."
A news item on that study is at

If we could eliminate just some of the fraud (subsidizing employers, for example) we could balance the budget and split a trillion dollars, I bet. Let's see a trillion divided by. . . .
