Medicaid and drive Lincolns to the contrary … When the Declaration and Constitution were written NOBODY was worried about immigration, legal or not.<br /></i><br /><br />Back in the day, the welfare benefits for immigrants were zero. Yes, churches and other philanthropic groups often reached out to help immigrants. But not at the taxpayers' burden.<br /><br />Now, here is what I want to know....Is all the talk I hear about how immigrants get a leg up via taxpayers' funds fiction or truth? <br /><br />Back in 1992, my cousin with osteogenesis imperfecta actually had said to him when he applied for county benefits for the disabled, "If you were an immigrant, the story would be different."<br /><br />When I filed a civil suit against the under-deportation-order cab driver who rear-ended me at a stop sign, I was told by the officer of the court (2009): "The sympathies of the court lie with the immigrant. If the situation were reversed, he'd take you to the cleaners." The cab driver had insurance, BTW, but I had no luck in collecting that money.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
