Damn, that just pisses me off! -->

The 34% for U.S.-born is bad enough. That ought to be 5% or less. There are far too many lazy people sucking off Uncle Sugar and not making their own way in the world.

I wonder if the reason why reports of autism has increased is because of these fraud cases. Not because autism has actually increased but to collect government benefits.

Re: "Autism"

My own interpretation...

EVERY unusual or unhealthy neurological issue in young people that cannot be uniquely identified, is instantly tossed into the Autism basket.

Yes, The increase from 1 per 1000 people to have autism to 1 in 88 now is medically impossible. Plus Psychs can make a lot of money “treating autism”!

Same kind of story with the hungry, or as they call it today - people effected by food deserts. Every year the local free food Thanksgiving Dinners prepare more meals, and each year they sellout. If it's free, it's for me.

But, but, the legacy of 400 years of slavery!

I thought even legal immigrants can’t get government assistance by law.

Why aren’t those laws enforced?

And a billion +++ dollar business for NGO's and other unscrupulous organizations.

It seems that much of this welfare use is because these illegal or legal immigrants drop babies when they’re in the USA. The babies are considered American Citizens and so the family gets welfare. It is suicidal for our country.

Ah. The old “for the children” ploy. I believe Thomas Jefferson warned of people using that excuse for spending.

Dept of Agriculture runs SNAP.

Big Ag has been buying Politicians since the beginning.

City class and Country class both on the Grift.

Just another Uniparty kleptocracy.

Somebody posted on my local Nextdoor app that they had lost their wallet that had their California ID, EBT Card, and Green Card.

Finally, some a-hole asked why she had U.S. ID and welfare card with a Green Card.

I sure am going to miss having an account on Nextdoor.
