This is sickening. The problem with leeches is if too many are used it will drain the host dry. And in other news, homeless veterans go without.

Tell me about it! That's what angers me so! We give money freely to these people without a fight..yet our own citizens get denied everything & have to fight and suffer..and appeal! We give more to people from other countries that never paid a dime into our system. Yet the people that are actually entitled to benefits like our Veterans,Elderly, Disabled that paid into the system suffer & have to fight for years for benefits. Our System is so effed up & sad.

I knew there was a problem but I didn't realize it was that HUGE. We have been to FL 10 times but haven't been there since 2000. It is too bad that illegals are such a plague on our "vacation" states since the crime and burden on the state system are so great that it just ruins them. These are the places many of us would like to live but can't afford to.

On a side note my adopted grandma came to US from Cuba many years ago. But she did things the right way & never ever took anything. She worked hard for everything she has & has raised 2 wonderful & highly successful girls that were born & raised in NJ. Now she & her kids give back a lot to their community daily. I am proud to have her & her family in my life. Love that Cuban food! One thing they can do is cook!

I couldn't agree more. It truly is disgusting.

It's bad...but I did not know how bad it was until someone shared this article with me the other day. I lived in So. Fla from 99-2006. Everyday the news showed more people coming onshore. What I did not know was what this article uncovered. I am so disgusted by this article. Well..on another side note. Guess we need to hope Trump get elected..& accomplishes what he is promising. Because that alone will help our economy a great deal

I'm saying Jesus Christ at the situation, not the thread.
