Um yes they do. I worked for Social Services in San Diego and my husband was a welfare worker there. You are lying.

Nice. Real Nice. I hope you treated your welfare recipients better than you treat freepers.

SO...WHY are states like Ariz. prop 200 being passed to prevent illegals from getting welfare, if they aren't getting it??????

Look it up, google is your friend. Or would you rather insult? Silly me....

[marajade]

Prove it buddy. Every post I made in this thread is totally upheld by law and interpretation in Court.

[marajade]

Um what is your point? Prop 200 being passed in AZ has nothing to do with who qualifies for welfare aid in CA.

[dalereed]

" I worked for Social Services in San Diego and my husband was a welfare worker there. "

That right there proves what kind of scum you are.

[marajade]

Neither personal insults or generalizations of state workers in CA don't aid in your effort to argue your point. It only does otherwise.

Everything you've posted says that you don't believe in defending the borders or if you do it's just to stop terrorists which I consider a minor problem compared to the illegial aliens.

Well, and I say this with the utmost of respect, learn to read then. Frankly, I think you're reading someone else's posts and commenting to me.

I've worked 30 years for the State of California and I agree that there is lots of corruption. I saw rampant nepotism, lots of hankypanky in giving out contracts, just plain tons of waste and duplication of services, you name it. As a lower level employee, I would have disappeared if I ratted them out, though I did make many discreet calls.

Now I'm fleeing for my life.

"Noticing that you don't live in California anymore, I suppose it doesn't bother you that these invaders cost California taxpayers 10 billion bucks every year. We don't like it much, m'am."

Fine, you don't like it. Change the law. Don't just make blanket statements that are not true.

[marajade]

Not reporting corruption is your choice. That is not the choice I would have made for myself.

[tertiary01]

Does "discreet calls" mean anything to you?

[marajade]

Meaning what?

[Torie]

IME’s Poll shows that half (50%) of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home countries (45% oppose). Three-in-four (76%) favor allowing illegal immigrants in the U.S. to earn citizenship if they learn English, have a job and pay taxes.

Cognitive dissonance at work.

[marajade]

Obviously your "discreet calls" haven't worked. There is a federal whistle blower law.

[janetgreen]

What documents does CA now require?

Social security number and proof of residence. SS cards are usually fraudulently used. Everything is for sale, even fraudulent birth certificates.

[marajade]

There is a database that qualifies SSN as being legal. If an exception is issued as being fraudulent, that issue is cleared up by documentation.

If they are granted aid before this happens they are civillary prosecuted to pay the monetary amount of aid back to the gov't.

“Ask how many are in favor of random ICE raids on all businesses? How many are in favor of ICE agents randomly barging into the work place, randomly detaining people that they see, demanding identification of these randomly detained employees so that they may crosscheck their id's against employer I-9 forms?”

Probably the same number of people who haven’t protested the IRS for doing the same; sending auditor agents to randomly search a work place, and randomly threatening the dentition of owners who haven’t paid taxes, demanding to see records so they may cross check it against their own.

Okay, let's start with the 50% who support deportation of illegals.

Now subtract from that 50% the voters who are Democrats and yes even liberals who want to see illegals deported. What you have left is a position that the Republican party won't support.

Under your highly, ahem, "original" form of mathematical analysis, would you be able to accept even 100% as sufficient to constitute a "supportable position" for the Republicans, once you subtract from that 100% the democrats, the liberals, the Communists, the Republicans who hate Bush, the Bushites who don't vote, the Wobblies...

And there's still that little matter in the US Constitution that gives any person who is born within the US becomes a citizen.

The intention of that amendment should be taken in context. It was implicitly intented to address the naturalization of former slaves.

If we were to take your logic, the second amendment's 'militia' would mean (the modern perception) state militia, rather than the meaning of the word when it was first written down...as noted in the Constitutional notes via madison or others.

Time poll: half of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants back to their home countries

I'll bet there are many more than half that think that.

[Dustbunny]

Round them up and move them out.
