Israel Forcibly Injected 100k African Immigrants with Birth Control

[DGuller]

Nope, not Uncle Sam.  For the first few months, though, we were supported by an organization called NYANA, which was a little more generous than welfare, and gave some stuff that was useful for people just off the boat.

In return were you expected to hire one unqualified Jew in the future?  Turn a blind eye to one white collar crime committed by a Jew?

What was the nature of the understanding? 

It was nothing sinister like that. I can't really go into details, I'm only allowed to give false reassurances.

Kleve's question made me wonder.  Are American green card holders eligible for food stamps and that sort of stuff?  Section 8 vouchers? Medicaid?

I believe they are.

Food stamps and Medicaid are 5 year waits, or have paid into Social Security taxes for 10 years' worth of work history.  You just don't show up and get them fresh from the airport.

Did I say that? Man, you are loaded for bear today, aren't you?

[The Minsky Moment]

The whole issue of discouraging immigration in the case of Ethiopian Jews is a red herring.

It appears to derive from the mistaken conflation of statements about illegal immigrants from North Africa with the Falasha.  Kind of ironic to lump all the "Africans" together that way in a news story alleging racism.

I never said you said that, Captain Sensitive.  I merely elaborated on your statement.

If I were loaded for bear, I would've called you a stupid fucking immigrant hater.

Now if we could make these Mexicans not steal dvd's when doing housecleaning.....

Not only that, but in order to receive your green card you have to show solvency by whomever is sponsoring you. When Max moved down here from Canada, I had to provide my tax returns to show that I could support him. I didn't make enough, so a friend had to co-sign that she would sponsor him, and that she would be liable if he applied for or received government hand-outs.

The only exception, from what I understand, is those who come in under refugee status. They have a lot of special rules, though.

And I could then tell you to fuck off as I'm married to an immigrant and thus immunized against such accusations

I made a simple statement and as with the other thread you're going apeshit over something I didn't even come close to saying.

I had to show proof as well and she had to promise not to be a burden on the system & whatnot.  Felt like a charade, since I'd have a hard time believing they actually come after you if the green card recipient gets on uncle sam's gravy train.

Derspiess, are your views and statements related to the current right wing antipathy towards the 14th amendment?

[derspiess]

Raz is off his meds again

[Razgovory]

What?

[derspiess]

What?

What the hell were you talking about?

[Razgovory]

Don't be coy.  There has been talk in Republican circles about fixing the problem of "anchor babies", for a while now.  The way discussed is to modify the 14th amendment.

Haven't been following it that much.  You're apparently more plugged in than I am.
