Have lots of kids then you can have free breakfasts,lunch, medical, wic, foodstamps, heat asistance. there are probably a few more programs out there to help you,. Most of the senior citizens I know pay more for there Medicare than a lot of people that have chose to have several children, and most of those seniors never recieved one dime of assistance to help raise their families.

Just reading the first sentence of Larrys first comment made me get up and walk away to calm down. I am still furious, so I will finish reading the comments later. Good grief.

Thank you for this letter. I too found myself with the same question numerous times, when these "welfare fraud" cases stated that they knew he was illegal and could not work. Why wouldn't these illegals keep on coming in. We openly show that here in Kandioyhi county we will take care of those who break the law, make bad choices and then in return when caught in wrong doing our judges will give then a fine without having them pay any restitution. These people are stealing out of our pockets and now this County is telling them it's okay to do it. You are right welfare does need to be reformed and not just for the illegals. We do need to include those who chose to make welfare an income and not a stepping stone and those who continue to have children when they can not support them. I think this system of welfare would be great for those who have fallen on hard time and need a hand yet it sems as though it has become a handout instead of helping hand.
