This is inane of course. Welfare fraud is everywhere esp among the "protected classes" meaning non-whites. We need to crack down on these welfare thieves not go easy on them.
april 29 2025 California lawmakers are considering a proposal that would decriminalize certain types of welfare fraud under $25,000, according to Fox News.
Introduced by Democratic State Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, Senate Bill 560 aims to eliminate criminal penalties for welfare overpayments stemming from administrative errors or minor infractions. The legislation, introduced in February, seeks to shift the handling of such cases from the criminal justice system to local welfare agencies.
The proposal to decriminalize small-scale welfare fraud in California highlights a broader debate about how the justice system should handle low-level financial offenses, particularly those involving vulnerable populations. Supporters argue that many alleged fraud cases stem from administrative mistakes rather than deliberate wrongdoing, and that criminalizing errors as minor as $25 disproportionately harms low-income individuals.
