Thread: Why more Hispanic children are living in poverty: A Q&A

Most lie and say they live alone and make $1,200 a month just to get free school lunch and all the freebies that go along with it.

Many people who are illegals and even some who are legal or US born lie about their incomes to gain access to school lunch programs and other resources.

Diane I agree with you on this. I do associate this behavior mainly with the illegal Hispanics, but do also know there are enough of others who do this also. However, it is easier to catch someone who is a citizen here and in catching them, they can be punished. With the illegals, catching them and then being able to mete out justice for this is seemingly impossible (move on a whim, change to new ID....). What bothers most of us is that they are not even supposed to be here, then to be scamming our system above being here illegally is just slap in the face of ALL hardworking Americans.

So it makes sense that they would lie on Census forms too. If dad or mom are illegal they wouldn't want us to know about them would they? Or if your illegal relatives are living with you you wouldn't let the census i.e. government worker to know would you? Hence you will have a lot of fake one parent families with lots of kids-many of whom are anchor babies. I have seen so much corruption among illegals that I tend not to believe anything they say and am very skeptical about statistics about them.
