This liberal attitude towards illegal immigrant presence does not occur in any other country.
Lyndon Bird's legacy perpetuated by his successors and the complicit houses of congress.
ENFORCE welfare laws on the books get the greedy leaches off medicaid and welfare!

I am a proud conservative right down to my bones, but ending welfare is where I get off. Having a welfare net is one of things that adds to the greatness of our country. The fact that some number of people abuse the system is no reason to end it. Just ending it is a cowardly way to govern. We have to have the courage to enforce the laws we have and make it even harder to cheat.
This article states my thoughts exactly. I know for a fact there are large segments of American society that know nothing except sucking off the govt. tit, depending on the big Sugar Daddy in Washington. They won't work because they don't have to.
I have personally seen examples where employers had to hire Mexicans (not illegals) because the local white population would rather draw welfare than work.
And we do need to quit paying young women to have babies out of wedlock. There are plenty of ways to prevent pregnancy, and plenty of educational programs in schools to teach young girls what causes pregnancy. So why is the unwed births higher than ever? Because we pay them to have babies.
This is what needs to be said.
You can't end welfare, then the libs wouldn't have anything to bribe folks to vote for them with.

Great article!
The welfare system is a corrupt racket and needs to be reformed even more, but by saying getting rid of welfare will get rid of illegal immigration is just a populist non truth.
As an ex welfare mom...here is my story. I used to be married to someone who I now know has some serious psychological issues....it wasn't quite as apparant then...We had 4 children and one day my husband decided that the welfare route was the ticket. He didn't have to work and a check came to the door. Up until this time he had maintained a minimum wage job...but it was full time and repectable. We were not rich but we were getting by. His attitude became gimme what you got, lemme have. He lost his self respect, eventually turning more and more to the bottle. I saw my family disintegrate before my eyes.
At one point he was required to go to the county offices to pick up the check and prove he had been looking for work...he decided even that was too much to ask for him...so he just didn't show up. I thought maybe now he would get off his lazy butt and go get a job because the golden goose was about to dry up...but Mr Government came through...instead of punishing this man (and us) for not doing what he was required to, they decided to send the check to our home and gave us more money to boot. Boy that really showed that deadbeat didn't it? I was told by my welfare case worker (more than once) that I should just leave him and I would get even more money....I couldn't believe that they were trying to force me to break up my family...but that is the ultimate goal. It does not foster family units..it does not try to preserve families either.
I eventaully found the courage to just say enough is enough...got rid of the deadbeat, left my kids with their grandparents while I got a job. I hardly ever saw my kids, but eventually got a home for all of us...remarried a wonderful guy with a great work ethic and have never looked back at those days again.
Welfare is a powerful destructive force in this country...those who are on it can feel trapped and discouraged..just like I was. The loss of privacy is another point that really ate at me...My family was not my own...it was the states...my home was open for inspection...because the state has the right to see who is living there.
It may have sounded like a good idea at the time...helping out the poor and all, but the legacy it has produced is generations of hopeless and discouraged people who feel trapped in a system they have no control over. Getting off of welfare cost me just about everything...my family is still trying to mend the wounds of those times we all were separated, but given the choice again, I would still do what I did,
My children are now all productive people in society, 3 work full time, another in college (deans list) and one still at home, a National Honor Society member.
I shudder to think what they would be like had I stayed on welfare and with that bum.
Once the parasites (welfare recipients) overwhelm the host (those of us who work for a living) and the host expires, so too do the parasites. All of which will be hastened by the retirement of the baby boom and the influx of anarchical illegal immigrants aided and abetted by our Congress and Administration.
Buh-By.
Amen! I agree 100% with this article. Thanks for posting it, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops!
These things are killing this once great country.
I used to work at DHS so know first hand how they abuse the system. It's beyond disgusting. My secretary, who issued the checks, finally got mad enough to quit. Why? Because the welfare checks she was giving these scumbags were more than her own hard earned paycheck.
Whatever happened to the days that people took pride in a good job done and knew the value of a dollar? What happened to the days when family took care of it's own?
"End of welfare." If you're seeing a light at the end of that tunnel, I'd say you're on track.
A lot of what has been said about welfare here can be said about government run public education, in which children languish until graduation day. Public education=education welfare. All education should be exclusively in the private sector, eliminate property taxes, forget vouchers, and let people buy the education for their children that they can afford. Let charity, i.e., Catholic and whoever else will, pick up the slack for the desperately poor.
"Illegals are not held accountable when they break our traffic laws."
Of course they are held accountable. Why would they write something like this?

While I agree on the need to eliminate welfare, I don't think that will end immigration, or even reduce it as, contrary to popular belief, Immigrants use Welfare and social programs LESS than your average American and studies have shown this, they contribute far more to the eocnomy then they take out and if they stopped coming it would hurt all Americans.
