'Former Kansas welfare worker says illegal immigrants abused the system'
"Do I really have to say it?"
KS people will never believe her; they have a high view of human nature.
I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!! How could anyone have foreseen this?!
An incredibly cynical statement crafted by a legal-minded bureaucrat. This was a complete lie designed to simply give the impression they want to root out corruption.
They do not.
I AM SHOCKED!
And in other breaking news, it's being reported that bears actually s*** in the woods!
Is anyone surprised with this "shocking" revelation? I hope something comes of it, but I'm not holding my breath.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Send em to Utah. Utah apparently wants all illegals now. F Utah.
Can I get a whom?
No. Keep up the good work.
These crooks have to be stopped.
I had a neighbor who worked for a government agency that gave out entitlements who swore me to secrecy that told me they knew about the fraud and actually encouraged people to apply and get the benefits even though they weren’t really eligible to receive them. No wonder we’re going broke.

Ping!
You are not posting too many of these stories, this sort of thing needs to be spread far and wide. I just wonder if our “illegals can’t/don’t draw welfare” posters will post on this thread?
Another issue of welfare fraud that is growing fast according to law enforcement people I know concerns not just illegals but citizens too. It seems those that run drug houses/meth labs, etc. frequently apply for all welfare benefits so they can show “legal” income.
“I witnessed overwhelming levels of fraud and corruption resulting in the waste of millions of taxpayer dollars,” Reed told the House Judiciary Committee. “Most of the fraud was conducted pursuant to policies of the SRS, which required employees to turn a blind eye to fraud and abuse.”
Bill Miskell, an SRS spokesman, said that Reed’s testimony was “new information” to him and that it would be evaluated today.

Steve,
I noticed you rush over to Ms Reed’s attorney immediately after her testimony, so I knew this piece was coming. As one would expect, you left out so many crucial details it is borderline journalistic malpractice.
“Overwhelming levels of fraud and corruption resulting in the waste of millions of taxpayer dollars,” you quote her as saying. Why did you leave out the details? Details that revealed just how rampant this corruption is.
Ms Reed had a caseload of just over 200 cases. Of those, only 10 were for US citizens... 10. That means the vast majority of people getting assitance are illegal immigrants. In addition, 80% of her cases were domestic violence situations. She was instructed to accept obvious forged documents, ignore the existance of multiple IDs. And to add insult to injury, giving food assitance to illegals with more income and assetts than US citizens she was required to turn down.
Not only is Bill Miskell a liar, as this was brought to his attention numerous times, it was also brought to the attention of Kevin Yoder when he was in the state house and who refused to do anything.
This is major news! You won’t reveal the extent of the fraud because you know how upset the public would be and that they would immediately call for this bill to pass and a crack down.
Disgraceful.
