Salvadoran Deportees Get US Dollars at Home

Illegal alien job thieves get deported to their true home of El Salvador — so far, so good. But then the moochers get money from the US government to start their own businesses in Salvador, as a consolation prize, apparently.

The program costs $50,000, so it’s a minor amount given the daily profligacy that is […]

Government’s Free-Food Program Expands to Dinner

The era of Big Government expands daily and one area of gratis goodies is free food. First the kiddies got free breakfast, then lunches and snacks so any unfortunate stomach rumbles would be prevented. In some places, free food is dispensed through the schools during the summer vacation months.

Now we learn that nearly a […]

Switzerland: Village Faces Tax Increase to Support One Refugee Family

The Swiss people have shown in several national referenda that they do not want their orderly society overrun with costly or hostile foreigners. But an African refugee mother and her seven children have put a major financial burden on the town of Hagenbuch (population 1,084 in 2013) in the Zurich canton.

Below, the sign posted […]

Illegal Alien Kids Stretch Budgets for School Districts

The federal government continues to redistribute illegal alien children around the country where local schools are forced to pay for their special extended needs beyond mere classroom education. A recent estimate from FAIR puts the price tag at $761 million for this school year, but that amount does not include a myriad of associated costs.

Top Medicare Ripoff Doc Is Dominican

The big headline story on the New York Times Wednesday was Sliver of Medicare Doctors Get Big Share of Payouts, politely suggesting fraud. Lawyers and police are investigating how it happens that around “two percent of doctors account for about $15 billion in Medicare payments, roughly a quarter of the total.”

Ripoffs aren’t definite of […]

Fifteen States Subsidize Illegal Aliens’ College Educations

At a time when belt-tightening is a necessary strategy for many states, the number bankrolling educations for illegal aliens is increasing: now 15 states are wasting taxpayer funds on foreigners when many citizens could use a hand.

Do these states have too much money? Or perhaps their priorities are all screwed up, in the liberal […]

Food Stamp Fraud Plus Immigration Redistributes American Wealth Abroad

As shown by the chart below, the number of non-citizens receiving food stamps has quadrupled since 2001. But according to an investigation by the New York Post, a lot of the free-to-them food is being packed up in giant containers and shipped to the immigrants’ homelands.

As one of the persons interviewed in the […]

Saudi Women Avail Themselves of American Victim Visas

Word must be spreading around the planet that America, despite its worsening proximity to financial Greecification, is still a soft touch for diverse victims needing free stuff on the taxpayer’s back. Yep, the US is social services purveyor and flophouse to the world.

Unsurprisingly, the “victim visa” categories (U for general crime sufferers and T-1 […]

UCLA Discontinues Illegal Alien DREAMer U

It’s a rare thing for any California institution to backtrack on a dumb program for illegal aliens these days, but the persistent agitation of Assemblyman Tim Donnelly accomplished just that.

The Really Bad Idea was UCLA creating its own special college for unlawful foreign students at a significantly lower cost than what the in-state Americans […]

USDA Teams Up with Mexico to Popularize Food Stamps

The Obama administration has already advertised food stamps on television as a desirable item for which nearly everyone should sign up. But the new outreach of partnering with our unfriendly neighbor to the south is a step beyond.

Perhaps it’s a hint of Obama’s second term, of how he intends to expand connections with Mexico, […]

Senators Sessions and Vitters Try to End Tax Loophole for Illegal Aliens; Reid Blocks

Many Americans became irate when they heard about the outrageous tax credits (cash, not deductions) that illegal aliens have used to rip off billions of dollars from this country.

On Tuesday, Senate budget hawks Jeff Sessions and David Vitters asked for unanimous consent to pass legislation that would close the loophole — an effort that […]

California: Diverse Populations Are Aging and Need Services

Mass immigration enthusiasts sometimes assert that importing lots of foreigners helps to lower America’s average age which puts a larger percentage in the workforce. But like many immigration claims, that one has never been true. CIS reported in 2007 that “Recent immigration has had no significant impact on the nation’s age structure.”

Plus, just being […]
