The illegals one area not often discussed is the ease in gaining a legal appearing identity so they can work. Work comp claims are on the rise in my former town. A lot have discovered they make a claim for a back/neck injury at work. Both injuries hard for doctors too say no their back/neck is not screwed up. Then they'll get a new identity, full time work and name. Collect work comp under their old name and they often also use another name or two for welfare checks. As pointed out in socialism nobody has jet boats--but why its really failed to get little extras socialism creates fraud and theft black market activity for a better life. Liberals often point out how great FDR was for the new deal and public safety net--they fail to point out that in the beginning too be propped up by the safety net a person had to work for it. It was not a free ride. Hence the hydro dams, etcetera, new bridges and other public works projects. Instead of enhanced drivers licenses as an option for Americans--we need enhanced social security and immigration documentation. We also need to make people work for welfare and other social safety net services--- Take out the free ride. Instead of honest tax paying Romans (oopps meant Americans) propping up free ride ripe with fraud we can't afford socialist safety nets--those who use it should help improve those who pay for it standard of living...................... Alcoa had a plant near my old town--shut down but ghost crew on staff too keep the plant fully operational and running. When those guys employed had no work. Alcoa would put them to work in city parks, etcetera, fixing bus shelters to redoing landscaping city parks. No reason able bodied welfare recipients cant do the same--shovel snow in the winter to gardening city green spaces and even repainting, picking up garbage, etcetera. Thats how stim money should be spent--putting able bodied people to work. After WWII in the mid fifties things looked to be entering a recession---hence the federal highway systems! The decay of socialism is why states like California are going bankrupt!
