Polar bears have absolutely nothing to do with running my country. You are being teased. It's a joke.

Without a doubt, you will get "hate mail" (replies) from this. But, people have to, MUST, understand where you are coming from as well as those that feel the way you do. Without a doubt our Nation is in a battle within itself. Heck, we don't need a War on our soil, we already have one going on amongst society.

Yes. I also find this a most troubling aspect of our society. There are battles within battles. The left Vs, the right, black Vs, white, brown vs, white, feminists Vs conservative men (and a smaller group of women) Class Vs, class, Atheist's Vs. believers, those who believe we should fight against terrorism Vs, those who are not willing to fight, LGBTQ Vs. straights, and, in keeping with this thread, whose who favor unlimited immigration Vs. those who say enough is enough, gun rights advocates V.s those who would ban guns, vegetarians V.s meat eaters . And, Congress is so involved in internecine warfare that it is amazing that anything is accomplished.

Hell, I could go on for pages and I see no end in sight. I do not see any group willing to have the slightest amount of patience for change, Everyone seems to want it all NOW ! I surely do not know how it will end, but I fear serious violence is in our immediate future.

Food stamps ARE federal benefits. I think you better check the laws again. food stamps (EBT) are administered by the United States Dept of Agriculture .

California has its own food assistance program, called Cal-Fresh, which is the one which can pay benefits to immigrants. It is a California state, not federal program. The below is from the Cal-Fresh website:

California Food Assistance Program (CFAP)


What is CFAP?
The State of California provides state-funded food stamps through the California Food Stamp Program (CFAP) for qualified non-citizens who do not qualify for federal benefits. CFAP benefits are issued through the same case as federal food stamp benefits.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to be eligible to CFAP, the Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) non-citizen must currently be ineligible for federal food stamp benefits solely due to his/her immigration status under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996.
Non-citizens who are eligible to CFAP benefits indefinitely are non-citizens who:

Have been legally residing in the United States as a LPR non-citizen prior to August 22, 1996; or
Are battered or abused or
Are qualified non-citizens who are no longer federally eligible under the seven-year time limited federal eligibility (all except Amerasians or conditional entrants); or

Are otherwise eligible for the program but were sponsored into the United States on or after August 22, 1996 and one of the following verified situations apply:
The sponsor has died; or
The sponsor is disabled; or
The applicant, after entry into the United States is a victim of abuse by the sponsor or the spouse of the sponsor if the spouse is living with the sponsor

John, maybe you know if it's true or false...one link said he had the gold in the plane and the other link says his plan to take the gold failed because his government collapsed before he had a chance to remove the gold from the Vietnam central bank. It sounds like you may be a witness to solve the controversy as to whether it's a rumor or fact.

Several days before the Communists moved into Thieu's office in the presidential palace, South Vietnam's President Thieu resigned and fled to exile in Thailand, then to a London suburb of Wimbledon, and finally to the US to be with his 3 children in Newton Massachusetts in 2001 where he died of a stroke.

Yes, I am well aware that it is also called Cal-Fresh. What I am trying to explain is that Cal-Fresh, or food stamp or EBT, whatever you want to call it is funded through the Federal government. The federal government pays California "X' amount of millions of dollars to administer the food stamp program. California then turns around and does what it bloody well pleases. As I said before, the state of California is at war with the federal government and does not pay one bit of attention to what the feds want.

The CA state system does not care one bit about Federal law. The California government PROTECTS ILLEGALS.

Example: when the border patrol or I.C.E. or homeland security goes to county jails or state prisons and they want to see a wanted criminal (Federal crimes) they are told, "Sorry, we never heard of that guy" And , "those 20 other guys on your list ? We never heard of them either" This is followed by a sarcastic smile. CALIFORNIA FORBIDS ANY STATE EMPLOYEE FROM ASKING ABOUT IMMIGRATION STATUS OR TALKING TO THE FEDS ABOUT ILLEGALS.

But, I will be sure to tell all my Mexican neighbors, some of them illegals, what you said. I'm sure it'll get a big laugh. And just in case you still don't get it, Mexicans, REAL MEXICANS who live full time in Mexico, not only get food stamps but also health insurance. Their making fools of us. Of course this is illegal but they don't give a ...

Just in case people wonder how this is possible, it's so simple. Lets say Mrs. Munoz, who lives in Mexico, has a sister or cousin or good friend who lives legally in the U.S. Her sister sits down and writes out rent receipts for the last 12 months. Mrs Munoz has mail delivered to her sisters house. Mrs. Munoz goes and gets a CA driver's license. She now has valid proof positive that she lives in the county. Instant Cal Fresh/food stamps and a voter registration card.
 
Well, this Thread has become highly interesting, very controversial, but very interesting.

Still on Travelers side though. America is in serious trouble and many just don’t care. It’s really unfortunate!!



As for me, I sure hope something happens to stop a major problem.
 
The Secure Fence Act 2006 authorized building a border fence between the US and Mexico. The Director of the Management and Budget Office has recently called attention to this when questioning why anyone is opposed to funding the wall.

dangerous contraband also coming in

The problem with unprotected borders or uncontrolled mass migration is that the country doesn't know what is coming in. What else is being smuggled-drugs, weapons, disease, contraband etc? People are not the only one's being smuggled across the border. Exotic and/or dangerous animals also being smuggled in cramped conditions to say the least. This tiger cub is an example.

This is an associated issue that literally could come back to bite somebody in the butt.

Because they oppose anything that even hints of a Trump idea / solution.
