50% of all U.S. immigrants on welfare program(s)

[Anonymous]

Have you reported this abuse?

Do you report it everytime you see a reckless driver or a speeder?? Its the same reason you are either too busy or you dont know the right people to report to.

At the same time, immigration needs to be reformed so that relatives of people can’t just show up and leach off the system for the rest of their lives.

I am an immigrant and I have seen the exact same behavior in my community. This makes me so mad and wants to be a Trump supporter(I might even vote Republican in 2018). Although I have always voted democrat incidents like this makes me want to lean right. The sad part is most Americans in this forum dont want to do anything about it. They keep saying that we have domestic abuse of welfare too.

But immigrants abusing the system and people who are already living here abusing the system is completely different. People who have been here 2 or 3 generations have paid into the system at some point in their life. How is it fair that an immigrant who has been here for less than 5 years brings his or her parents to milk the Medicare system. I may have the chronology wrong but the abuse is real.

Can I at least can unilateral support from both sides that this abuse has to be stopped? We cannot let immigrants benefit from the system unless they pay for it simple!

Have you reported this abuse?

Its not abuse, its all legal.

Is it morally right, or was that the intent of the programs? Probably not.

What I would do, would be to define all public assistance to be ineligible, and not just cash payments.

I know an Indian couple who is running a gas station convenience store. They have their dad running the counter and their mom is also on the payroll but does not actually work there. She provides free childcare at home. Anyways both grandparents make it look like they have been working for upto 4 quarters so that they get free medicare for life.

Just had conference call today’s within h1b Indian. Guy was supposed to be on call but had a kid in background bothering him and crying. He couldn’t help and was worthless. Abusing telework policy. All the lawyers on here seem like they don’t have to deal with these immigrants and how they warp the morale in a company

If this is all true and there is such widespread and rampant fraud then why isn't any of it ever being reported?

DP... and why doesn't Trump demand that any organization/agency and US companies supported by US tax dollars only hire Americans and not visa holders? Oh wait, that would mean Trump's own companies would have to stop hiring h2b visa workers. Being a "smart" business man, he probably knows that using visa workers is smart business practice.

Lame response.

More likely this is all just anecdotal BS and you haven't reported it because you don't actually know what to report because it's all just stuff you heard.

Lame Response ??? indeed I am an immigrant who is talking to you about welfare abuse that happens by other immigrants. I obviously cannot report it because these are people I know, and I interact with. I have told them this it is wrong to their faces, but I will not go behind their back and squeal to the authorities. That may be the a$$h0l3 that you are but not me.

All I can do is post on an anonymous forum and put my message out there and hope that someone will listen. Further, I will support any government policy that will close such loopholes. Congratulations you just managed to further alienate a former Democrat. Even when it comes to common sense topics like this I cannot get a united voice. Why would you even be surprised that this abuse has been going on? it's not like Fraud and Abuse of a gov program is an alien concept to you.?

This is so bizarre. If a member of the Muslim community and had heard the chatter of specific "bad activities" and had come forward with it. I guess snowflake liberals like you will dismiss it as anecdotal BS.

So true. Whenever liberals are presented with the negative impact of their crazy policies, they resort to calling it BS.

The next time one of them tells me about the poor retiree living off SS and getting a tax hike (people living off SS don't pay taxes anyway), I'm just going to call BS. It's so much easier to call someone a liar than actually debate with content and rational argument.

What is there to report and who do you call. What, do I call medicare and say "Hi, my uncle who is 80 years old and an American citizen should not be getting Medicare because he never worked here." That's not going to work.

I also have relatives who are holding assets abroad but taking in social security disability benefits as well as Medicaid. This is actually fraudulent, but I hesitate to report it and don't know who to report it to or even if you did report it, how do I know how much in assets they have or where they're hiding them? I just know they have a shitload of money in a foreign bank but they aren't reporting any of it here.

Further, why should MY relatives get in trouble when I know that there are possibly millions of other people doing the same thing?

Pretty darn good English for an “immigrant.” I work with immigrants every day and this is the best immigrant English I have ever seen except for native speakers. Even my German sister in law who went to college he and has been here for thirty years can’t write this well.

Sorry but whining on anonymous forums and blaming others does nothing. If you are serious about reforming the system then do something. Otherwise it's hard to take you seriously.

Emmanuel Mensah was an immigrant. And a better quality person than almost all nativists. He was immigrant from Ghana who came to America six years ago and recently graduated from Army Basic Training who died helping people escape from the apartment fireman the Bronx. A true American hero in every sense of both words. God bless the USA.

No to e-verify. Yes to chain migration

We need to increase the supply of workers to decrease the hourly wages.

Yeah! MoCo min. wage is $11 and change an hour on its way to $15 as rentals increase in the most expensive parts of our county. What could go wrong? We want it all.

This.

Not this. I want my tax dollars going to us citizens. Not illegal aliens. How much do we spend on illegals? My guess is tens of billions. That’s a lot of assistance us citizens aren’t getting. I’m all for helping illegals as soon as no us citizen children go to bed hungry. And as soon as public schools start kicking out illegal aliens.

It's more than $100B a year. The bleeding hearts will tell you.....but property tax!.....but sales tax!......but the fact remains that illegals are a net drain on our economy.

You know what else is? A government that targets owners of property it wants, convicts the legal immigrants and sells the property at a lose to political supporters.
