[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My chinese relatives apply for every program they have eligibility for.

Its not uncommon in asian communities to bring your parents over upon retirement and have them apply for benefits.  You will see plenty of this on mitbbs and wenxuecity and the like, chinese schools sometimes have seminars on how to apply.[/quote]
My hair stylist told me she brought her mother over from Vietnam years ago, and now Mama (who never worked a day here nor learned the language) enjoys a level of medical care that I cannot afford for myself. The stylist was bragging how her mother needs monthly treatments that cost $1000, and she gets them for free (!), but it turned out that I have the same condition - and the same doctor!! - and have to pay a fortune for them. The stylist seemed VERY embarrassed that her immigrant mother got better care than a citizen who has paid income tax for 30 years, and of a sudden she got very quiet.

There is something very wrong with a system that provides better benefits for non-productive immigrants than tax-contributing citizens.[/quote]
