Governor Brewer activates new food stamp fraud prevention unit (AZ)
KVOA TUCSON ^ | 7/2/10 | Unspecified

Posted on 07/03/2010 5:07:41 AM PDT by exbrit

PHOENIX - Governor Jan Brewer and the Arizona Department of Economic Security set in motion a new anti-fraud unit effective July 1. The new DES Trafficking Detection Unit will ensure that people obtaining food stamps are not using these benefits illegally.

"We have an obligation to taxpayers," said Governor Brewer. "These benefits can only be used by people who are eligible and need help. The State of Arizona will not tolerate any abuse of government benefits. The Nutrition Assistance Program is a necessary part of the safety net, particularly in these difficult times, but these benefits must be used to purchase food. Anything else is illegal."

If they ever tried to get most of the fraud out of these programs, we might actually be able to afford them.

...good for her!...although I’m sure she’ll get accused of ‘racism’ for throwing welfare cheats off the dole.

I love Jan Brewer standing up for ALL Americans!

A bit OT but recently she stated there are beheadings occurring in AZ desert. Does anyone have any background on this story?

"... I’m sure she’ll get accused of ‘racism’ for throwing welfare cheats off the dole. "

Thanks to the "O.J." example, they have learned that yelling "racist" will even negate "murder". It's the only perceived "defense" of those who commit crimes.

America leads the world in civil rights...but it cannot be a "free-for-all".

“Our law enforcement agencies have found bodies in the desert, either buried or just lying out there, that have been beheaded,” she added.

I have heard this fraud is really easy to do if you go into those little stores owned by the foreigners.

I know if you go into a regular grocery store, there is no way something will get by because if you do make a purchase for an item not covered by food stamps, the register tells you how much you owe for that product.

Very true. I think shes looking at programs that are pulling illegals over. Its another way to help them find alternative places to live.

My teenage daughter said something to me about this just last night. She said she heard on the news there were more beheadings.

And my niece decides to go to Mexico for her honeymoon....geesh.

Thanks for the link. One of my Facebook "friends" posted an article that supposedly debunks Brewer's statement and I'm seeking info to rebut.

Like you, I would believe Jan Brewer before any liberal/socialist who lies as naturally as breathing.

Just waiting for Obama to publicly declare that it is impossible to get rid of 100% of the fraud, therefore he won't work to get rid of any of it and will sue Arizona to force them to maintain the current fraud level or even increase it.

I would suppose the first head chopped off would prevent the second head from being chopped off.
