Subsidization of illegality
If anyone has a verifiable source which describes how illegal aliens are subsidized, or what laws are violated in their subsidization, please place it in this thread. Provide links if possible. Please have the post verifiable beyond opinion or belief.
I got the idea from reading one of Jean's posts in another thread. I'm pasting Jean's post (Jean has worked in some capacity to verify eligibility for food stamps, as I recall) here as well as a couple of mine concerning unemployment benefits. Subsequently, I will have new posts, at least one new post today. ******************** 11-10-2009, 08:00 PM Jeanfromfillmore Jeanfromfillmore is offline Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 261 Default As many of you know I live among the 'victims' as they prefer to regard themselves. And they want to give everyone the impression they are soooooo pooooooor and just struggling to make it. But I have been in so many of their homes and seen first hand exactly what they spend their money on and exactly how so many of them live. MANY, NOT JUST A FEW, BUT MANY, are living quite well and ALWAYS HAVE THE MONEY FOR BEER. And I'm not just saying a twelve ounce can a day, we're talking an 18 pack at a minimum. They spend about $400 to $500 a month on beer, and that's being conservative. They aren't eating simply rice and beans, they're eating shrimp, steak and not cheap cuts. We can thank our food stamp program for that feast. They have late model trucks, vans and cars which are huge gas guzzlers, but they manage to drive them. They have big flat screen tvs. They get discounts on their utilities of at least 20%,free appliances and home improvements. These along with so many more 'entitlements' leaves them extra money to plan those parties they consider entitlements. Have you ever seen the parties they give? I have. And from the 2 yr old who they rent the jummer for, to the quienceanera which announces her time to start making babies, there are huge amounts of money spent on beer and food. These parties are not rare occasions, they happen almost with regularity. Go to any park on a given day in So Cal and you'll see exactly what I'm speaking of. YET they cry they can't afford to go to school, or they can't afford to take the time to go to school. Then they complain that after sneaking into this country that they aren't given enough financial aid.. Do they ever consider asking Mexico or their home country for help in any way? Of course not. And after sucking us for at least 13 years of free education they then feel entitled to receive more. And some, even after receiving a degree they complain that their needs are still not being met. Why don't they take that education that they stole from our citizens and go back to their home country and put it to good use? No they would rather stay here and see how much more they can suck up and claim victim for not receiving enough. And why do they think they're entitled to all this? It is because our schools are teaching them that they are. And until we realize that we are teaching our own demise we will continue down this path of third world entitlement and eventually become what we thought we were helping eliminate. Remember, no good deed goes unpunished.[/B]

Overview of Low-Income Restructuring Legislation and Implementation
...In June of 2004, a new commission-approved program went into effect that allows an electric bill discount to low- to middle-income households of three or more people. Under the program, called Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA), an eligible household of four may earn from $43,201 to $54,000 per year in 2008-09. The program was approved by the PUC in a November 2003 order. Program participants save on their electric bills by being billed at a lower rate. FERA participants’ Tier 3 usage (131 percent to 200 percent of baseline) is billed at Tier 2 rates. Usage in Tier 4 (201-300 percent of baseline) and Tier 5 (above 300 percent of baseline) continues to be billed at the original rates for those tiers. Utilities and the CPUC have noted that more than one third of residential customers do not exceed usage above 130 percent of baseline. (Baseline is a quantity of electricity or gas that is billed at the lowest rate. By law, the commission must set baseline quantities for gas and electricity at a "significant portion of the reasonable energy needs of the average residential customer.") In approving FERA, the commission heeded recommendations from the advocacy groups The Utility Reform Network (TURN) and Latino Issues Forum who testified that the existing baseline determination method was unfair because the household size of residential customers wasn’t taken into account. As a result, a large family was expected to use the same amount of energy as a single person living alone, and often large families exceeded the baseline allowance and paid more expensive rates, the advocates testified. The program applies only to the three larger utilities: PGE, SCE and SDG&E. PGE estimated in 2004 that approximately 200,000 of its 4.3 million residential customers met the FERA eligibility requirements. At the end of 2007, FERA served about 34,000 households and the utilities spent about $3.7 million for benefits... ...In a decision issued in 2007, the commission set forth a new direction for LIEE, stating that in addition to promoting the quality of life of eligible customers, it should serve as a “resource program,” that is, it should save energy, help limit the need for new power plants, and help curb greenhouse gas emissions. Under the commission's long-term vision for LIEE, as stated in D.07-12-051, utilities must provide all eligible LIEE customers the opportunity to participate in LIEE programs and to offer those who wish to participate all cost-effective energy efficiency measures in their residences by 2020. The decision directed the utilities to emphasize the following in their future programs: (1) treat LIEE as a resource program by focusing on energy savings, in addition to customers’ quality of life, (2) propose substantial budget increases so as to provide LIEE measures for 25 percent of eligible and willing customers in the 2009-11 period, (3) emphasize long term and enduring savings, rather than quick fixes, and (4) focus LIEE programs on customers with high energy use, while continuing to serve all eligible low-income populations...

They use Direct Mail letters sent to targeted neighborhoods (high Hispanic/immigrant) notifying them of upcoming LIEE program events. What this means is these 'neighborhoods' and those using the Mexican Consulate are notified first of any free microwave, refrigerator/appliance, home weatherstripping or improvements, heating or air conditioning repair or replacement etc. The penetration rate in the areas with a high illegal population is the highest because these utility companies focus on getting them informed first and foremost. I know because I've seen their numbers. And ask yourself why they felt the need to partner up with those Mexican Consulates. The cost of funding these programs is applied to everyone who pays a utility bill in California. Yes, it's there on your bill, under a charge call "programs". It's often about $1.30 or more. Small enough that most don't question it. Another thing I might point out is that those on CARE do not pay a Late Payment Charge. Everyone else is charged a .9% late fee, but not when you're on CARE. So take some time to look at your utility bills and ask yourself who else is taking money from you to help support the illegals here in California. The answer is just as close as you utility bills. |

Visit any public agency, hospital, courthouse, public school and look at the people there receiving public assistance. There are hardly any Americans left in America.
I know this is "anecdotal" and not the kind of info you wanted, but sometimes the most obvious things are true precisely because they are so obvious. |

This article doesn't mention the BOG fee waver. Here's what it is:
Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver Application For eligible California residents, the Board of Governors (BOG) Fee Waiver permits enrollment fees to be waived. (Assistance for the purchase of books and supplies must be applied for separately.) Many California Community Colleges offer online BOG Fee Waiver applications through CCCApply. When you use these online applications, the data you've entered in CCCApply will be transferred automatically, making your application much easier and faster. Basically the illegals get free tuition at community colleges. Then they apply for grants to go to the university of their choice if they get accepted. All this on your tax dime. But don't forget those students throwing a fit because their tuition costs were raised. Those are basically the same students who rallied/protested to get the illegals instate tuition and free education. Now they're paying the price and they aren't happy. Toooooo bad. |
