[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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. [/quote]

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.?[/quote]

YES, lame response and you are full of crap.  If you are not reporting it then you are part of the problem.

Multiple frantic replies pretending to be different people won't change the fact that you are full of crap and neither will claiming that you are a "former Democrat"

You are FULL OF CRAP.

If you truly believe there is wrongdoing and you have firsthand knowledge of it then either put up or shut up.  And stop wasting our time with your lame complaints on an anonymous message board.  If you have the time to complain on an anonymous message board then you sure as f*ck have time to make an anonymous complaint with the appropriate authorities rather than wasting our time here on your nonsense in some attempt to talk about policy, particularly given that if what you say is true then you are PART OF THE PROBLEM.[/quote]

Uou really need to read up about the asian community.

Chinese advocacy groups have made major efforts to promote use of SSI by Chinese immigrants. They have campaigned heavily, through the Chinese community centers, Chinese-language television, Chinese newspapers and so on, disseminating information about SSI, and urging the seniors to come in and apply. Indeed it probably has fostered the ``library card'' perception of SSI, in which the seniors perceive SSI as a normal benefit of immigration, rather than as a safety net for the financially desperate.

Picture the Chinese and Koreans taking the legendary energy they use in academics and business, and now applying that energy to promoting welfare usage by the old folks, and then you’ll understand the enormous drive to get immigrants to sign up for SSI. The Chinese community organizations, such as Self Help for the Elderly (yes, an ironic name) in San Francisco, the Chinatown Service Center in Los Angeles and the City Hall Senior Center in New York’s Chinatown, pulled out all the stops in promoting SSI, Medicaid and subsidized senior housing (including campaigning for the building of such housing). Chinese-language public service TV programs, such as on Channel 26 KTSF of the Bay Area, would regularly dispense advice on how to obtain these benefits, and the World Journal, the largest Chinese-language newspaper in the U.S., ran a weekly Dear Abby-style advice column on obtaining welfare.

Large numbers of the recipients of assistance arguably didn’t need it. A typical scenario in the Bay Area at the time (and still largely true today) involved a senior on SSI, living with his son and daughter-in-law, both Silicon Valley engineers from China or Taiwan. The son would have applied for the parent for immigration, promising the keep the parent off welfare for 5 years (increased from 3 years by the 1993 legislation), but would have planned ahead of time to put the parent on welfare after that. All perfectly legal, mind you.
