welfare
I had to prove every job that I went of an interview and show so many different job searches when I was on it.  My daughters friend mom knows someone in the system and hasn't had to do anything to stay on it and her youngest child is 11 now and the oldest is in his late 20's and she been on it since he was a baby.

I AGREE...
Anyone who stays on welfare year after year and simply has kids to avoid working for a living should be kicked off welfare as well.  Welfare was created to help people on a temporary basis.  I even found myself on it about 10 years ago but I was off in 4 months.  I had to take a lot of risks to get off because the welfare system is set up now so that unless you are willing to break some rules to get off, it's very hard to get off.  It really needs to be revamped to help people progressively move toward work and not trap them into staying on it. 

Maybe I need to start writing about that as well as the immigration issue.

to darn lazy to care
Its not just the illegal's but its those that sit on their butts collecting welfare for many years. I collected welfare for an emergency but was embarrassed to use my food stamps.  I now work too darn hard to see those that live off the government without a conscience and just take it for granted they deserve that money.  I recent paying them with my hard earned tax money.

Thou Shall Not Steal
This country was built on Biblical principles.  We have moved to wickedness ruling and need a return to Good over Evil and not the other way around.  We need Christian Soldiers like you and me to stand against the wiles of the devil in Jesus name and have the courage to do it on a daily basis!!  I am doing my part in my community!  I know you can only imagine the challenges that I face and how I am called a resister.  Yes, I resist and will not support evil in any form! God is in control and I have His favor!  That is all that is needed!!
