But again -- it isn't illegals scamming the welfare system that is the problem. The underlying problem is that there is a welfare system. If the system were impenetrable to scammers, we'd still have a problem in that welfare would still exist. If the welfare program (which is not legitimate) did not exist, illegal immigrants could not scam the system. I would also not have to forfeit my rights for this problem to be solved in this manner. For what it's worth, I'm sorry if I was insulting in my previous post.
I completely agree with you. I, unfortunately, work in part of the system that deals with entitlements. It makes me sick to see what the courts and legal system do to those committing fraud when we catch them at it. I also absolutely object to having to pay taxes to go to this process unfortunately, it is so institutionalized in our country now I am at a loss to try to see how it can or will ever change without a complete breakdown of the system. That is also why I fervently believe in the right to keep and bear arms, because I do feel that eventually I will need to be able to defend myself, my family and my property. I'd also like to see the welfare system completely abolished but what are we going to do with those who can't or won't help themselves, just shoot them??? (as much as we all might like to at times). And I don't like giving up any of my rights to support the system either but I just can't see how to change it without us descending into complete anarchy. For every fraudster we catch, the courts sentence them to minor penalties such as 5 yrs probation, and partial restitution of the amounts they've scammed. I fear it is a losing battle so my advice is to fight to keep the rights we all have, especially the 2A, and stay loaded up with ammo. Eventually the system will breakdown, it's just a matter of time, despite what the politicians tell us.
