I have a disabled neighbor who is losing his home because he was out of work for a while. Even though he is disabled, he still has two part time jobs, but it's not enough to save his house.
Meanwhile, down the street is a Hispanic couple here illegally. This couple, like many others were arrested during a raid of a packing plant a few years ago, but then they were let go and not deported. Now, they live in a house and receive welfare benefits for their 7 children. They also get a big fat refund every year at tax time. There is a huge scam where illegal aliens get refunds, not just for their kids, but for as many kids as they list on the tax return. It was reported recently that illegal aliens are putting names on returns of kids who live in Mexico and may or may not exist. They average something like $12,000 each. Billions each year are going to these scammers.
But, don't expect Obama to even acknowledge that there is a problem, let alone do anything about it.
He is stirring up social issues, but doesn't want to talk about the economy, unemployment, inflation, record numbers of foreclosures, border security, Fast and Furious scandal, Solyndra scandal and a lot of other mysteries.
I've noticed that every rw on the internet knows of an illegal family of 73 crammed into a tiny house just down the street. This fictitious family always gets loads of our dough for their 7 (17 and on up) kids and get gobs back on their income tax return.
Problem is, none of this is true. You need to check your facts before you make up these outrageous LIES - or - be ready to tell why you haven't turned them in so they would be deported.
As for Obama, he has put more Border Patrol on the border than any R ever did. Kyl and McCain refused repeated requests from then-gov Napalitano AND, Obama has deported more than any other president.
In FACT, President Obama has deported so many that illegal immigration is at an all time low and is figured in "net negative" numbers.
You all know that but you choose to LIE about it anyway.
The rest of this post is a lie as well. He talks about the economy every single day. Difference is, he has actually PRODUCED JOBS while the R's play golf and call in their filibusters.
FACTS.
