"Last year, undocumented workers received over $4 billion in benefits from the United States government. It's because of the dependents they're claiming on their tax returns. Even though they may be here illegally and aren't supposed to have a Social Security number, the Internal Revenue Service still requires them to pay taxes and gives aliens a special identification number to file a return. [...] Some people are abusing the loophole. WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, for example, found four illegal immigrants in one mobile home who claimed 20 dependents. They received nearly $30,000 from the IRS, but only one child was living in the home."

Not just a waste of time, but a HUGE waste of money. There are more pressing issues to be spending the money on, like...oh, I don't know...TEACHERS? Supplies/equipment necessary to learn? Building maintenance in schools?

There is already a huge strain on school budgets. Now they want the schools to spend thousands of dollars on repainting gym floors, getting new sports uniforms, even new letterhead, etc. Wow.

"A pastor at the church the family attended described it as 'normal stuff.' "

I feel like what the pastor meant was that things like shooting BBs at other houses and causing other problems was just normal behavior for the family.

I think that because of how easy it is to obtain information these days, and how quickly it spreads, we're just hearing about it a lot more now. Stuff like this has been happening forever. But because of technology, it's easier for information to be spread worldwide in a matter of seconds.
