Well, why did we spend a million times more, than was needed to shore up health care, on some war with Iraq? You're not serious about saving money or you wouldn't have supported the war on drugs and war on terrorism. These wars cost us many millons of times more money.

minnow, I don't recall voteing to spend billions in Irag, and as far as the so called "war on drugs" go that is a total laugh, nothing more than a black hole to suck money into, but it sure sounds good to some knee jerk politican to stand and bray like a jackass about how He will join the fight in the war on drugs, maybe , just maybe if we throw enough money at it, it may go away. Ya rite.

The damage is already done. Make him a citizen, get him a job so at least he can start paying in taxes to pay a fraction of what he already collected from the system. Offer him assistance in paying for the drugs, but at least make him get a job and cover part of the tab on his own. Don't just hand him anything else for free.
This is an example of how good intentions come back to bite you in the ass.
Perhaps we could sue Mexico and recoup the costs associated with taking care of their citizens? I think at the very least Minnesota taxpayers should get some free stays down there until the tab is even. Sort of like a population exchange?

Minnow- Do you have any proof to back up your claim that SSI considers people that don't speak english as a disability? I'm not completely disagreeing, but I checked the disability requirements & saw nothing like that.

You don't understand...I'm a pro. Collecting free money is my forte...
I'm not going to spend the time to dig and report facts to because you're not paying me investigative fees. My time is too valuble sorry...
If you want certified proof you must do the research yourself, but it is indeed true. (Each state is bit different)
Where do you think all the Hispanics work in town? Many don't...they collect $555 a month SSI and an aditional $90 in Minnesota Supplemental Aid...plus an additional $120 or so in Food Support (credit card) for a total of about $750 oer month take home. This is about the same take home pay of a full time minimum wage job.
But that's not the kicker....that would be be free health care.
Many immigrnts rack up much more than that at NEAVE hospital. At any given time the waiting room at the hospital will be about half Mexican.
I'm not complaining....just reporting what I see.

Just think...all this time you were busting your butt at Wendy's...stealthy immigrants have been living free and geting the same amount of pay plus free health care (including drugs) and also housing help.
Heck....they ain't dumb...why, they actually raise the IQ of the area.... LOL  Any Mexican resourceful enough to figure it all out and take advantage of a better life and all he has to do is put up with long cold winters....why...he ain't dumb at tall! I understand that person...I know those persons.
They're just using the old "stepping stone"
Many will bexome trained professionals and make better lives for themselves in the land of milk and honey.  I can understand that, because that's all I'm trying to do too.

You know Minnow, I bet you would feel better about yourself if you could claw your way to the top on your own merits, instead of riding on someone else's back.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Minnow- How can you claim your time is so valuable if you spend more time on this forum then any two user's I know of.
Secondly, you've been reporting things as fact all along, but now your making excuses as to why you can't prove them.
Any idiot can live off hand-outs, that has nothing to do with intelligence. It has everything to do with a person's character.

Character? You mean like Gabe and the merry band of four...
Yea....that's really something to aspire too! There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking advantage of every opportunity available. But they aren't supposed to do that...they should work part time at McDonalds because you think it builds character. Then give the money to Gabe for a new mansion...Ya..do the RIGHT thing...
This from a guy to lazy and stupid to find out facts on his own. Let me get this straight...because I spend time on these forums I'm supposed to work for you..right?
