testimony today including a statement from a former welfare worker who described overwhelming levels of fraud by illegal immigrants.
Lana Reed, who worked as a bilingual specialist for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in Overland Park from 2008 to 2010, urged lawmakers to adopt the bill targeting illegal immigration.
She described a system overrun by illegal immigrants who used false Social Security numbers and other fraudulent documents to game the system.
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
