works for me...

I met some illegal Mexicans last night at a party. Several years ago I stayed with a couple of wonderful Mexican families in the Baja below California. These were well-off people. The homes, on average were beautifully tiled and some of them had mahogany inlaid walls, bookshelves and cabinetry that would cost a hundred-thousand dollars here. So, I’m guessing if they aren’t rich they’re very comfortable. The elderly not as well-off grandfather, while living in Mexico was receiving Social Security from the United States and owned a rent-free apartment in California which he used as his address to receive several forms of assistance checks from Californian agencies. He visited the apartment once a week to re-arrange things and make it looked lived in. He had a car, a Toyota Corolla that looked quite nice and had working air-conditioning. I gathered it was supplied as some form of assistance and he generally left it in California at the apartment. The apartment was about 1100 square feet and very livable. The grandfather told me most of entire complex, easily a 1000 units, were like him, on Californian assistance, but actually living in Mexico.
At the party were a couple of teenage boys from this family. Very nice kids. I’d be proud to have them as my own; diligent, hard working, trouble-free and much more adult than you’d expect from that age. They told me that they’d decided to go to high school in California instead of Mexico. They said that the (California) government gave them an apartment and they travel back to Mexico on the weekends. (I don’t know if they’re staying alone or if a family member is staying with them, but if I had to guess, they came alone.)
When I posted information on this family last time, Freepers angrily asked why I hadn’t reported them. Firstly, I was a well-treated guest. Secondly, this must be obvious to the casual observer. Even if I knew who to report it to in California, which I don’t, it is obvious that this is how it’s done. These people are only taking advantage of “benefits” put there for them. Not to avail themselves of these benefits would be like deciding not to take candy freely offered to you.
Just so sad actually.

It’s just business, Darkie. May as well let ‘er rip.
Business is business for us, as you say.
Carry on!

This sounds so diabolical! Shouldn’t we wear silly hats?
Go ahead! Turn the key. Looking for the “End of Road” pic, Boss.
It’s an odd thread to nail, but this is very strange. All the candidates for ambush dried up New Year’s Eve. Never seen anything like it.
What is exciting? That Im here? Or that i have another medium with which to communicate?
Heh~heh!
I am so lost without my pc....
Green paper hats, not red. The red hats are the bad guys. Now, hunker down. This can hurt sometimes....

I’ve got my inverted flowerpot by way of DEVO.
Does that count?
Awaiting confirmation code from Sky Eyes.
works for me...
Darkie's about to move the UT. I love moving day....(did you get your snail mail?)
Standing by.
2012, the year we broke contacts.
And crutches.
And a few pencils.
Yes, I did, thank you! Snail mail is always good!
My pc picked a terrible time to go by the wayside.
I need it to pay my bills, as well as communicate with my online “family.”
Is it a green flowerpot or a red flower pot? Apparently, this is important.

It was red once, but it is chiped and stained now.
Something chewed on it at some point.
Chirpped and Stanned.
Has a bird in it and is held by some guy named Stan.
Yes, but Gen.Blather provided reports exposing the nature and degree of the problem. He also pointed out that the California government was complicit in making welfare cheating by foreigners simple and risk-free.
Instead of condemning the government, many on the thread preferred to shoot the messenger.
