I am an immigrant and I also have older relatives who have never worked in the US but are taking Medicare and social security disability benefits. The fraud is real and it is a legitimate source of resentment, even within my own family! This is why healthcare needs to be at a reasonable cost for all people, not just the poor or elderly. 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. [/quote]

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![/quote]
