So forgive me if I think that qualifies as them asking about "free money."
You also asked if the disabled daughter (who will never be able to work?!!) was entitled to $10,000 in "free money":
You seriously STILL cannot see why some of us who pay thousands and thousands of dollars in taxes every year were a little put off by these questions?
As I wrote in my 2nd post a few days ago, I hope their business does well ... but please don't call it "immigrant bashing" when some of us found your opening post in this thread problematic.

I really don't want to drag this anymore, but if it is legal and already in the system, then I inquired in regarding of the information from this board. If it is in the system, then millions of people are getting it. The system needs to be changed and to be blamed not people. If gov is offering free money - yes you are paying hard earned tax, I pay too as a single person and I see how frustrating it is that others on dole on my money having family and I am working hard for them.
In any case, as I said it was for information and inquiry and no one can stop anyone if it is there and people need to stop taking their disappointments on them especially when the elected government set it up in the 1st place.
And lastly, it doesn't matter how long they been into this country, they are as legal as you and others are. If the gov is fine with it, then change the system instead of blaming them.
