And yet, when I get my library renewed, I have to show my driver's license. Books, provided by taxpayers, that I return.
I have to renew my library card every year. And, speaking of libraries, "my" library is beautiful and it's updated all the time. They have a soundproof childrens library there. They just do what they can to please everyone. Well, now we are having quite the surge in residents using our library. I can't swear they are illegal, but as I always say, they can barely speak broken English. So, it's like they bring their many kids to the library to play! They run around screaming, playing in the Adults and YA libraries. Our librarians try to shush them, but they ignore them, and so do their parents! A lot of the time their parents are just sitting in the reading areas.

I didn't know that. I just remember him saying they may not have papers, but everyone deserves an education, and he's so good at blaming everyone else for everything, even if he said it, I probably wouldn't believe him.
and most people say "No, they can't get these". I've said they're not supposed to, but, they do. They get everything, believe me. They have been for a long time.
Some people get so many, they send the food "home" to relatives in another country! It's so irresponsible to let these issues continue. They should be ashamed of themselves. Our government and Mexico's government!
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released documents detailing how the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working with the Mexican government to promote participation by illegal aliens in the U.S. food stamp program.
The promotion of the food stamp program, now known as “SNAP” (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), includes a [scribd]137989529[/scribd]Spanish-language flyer provided to the Mexican Embassy by the USDA [/url]with a statement advising Mexicans in the U.S. that they do not need to declare their immigration status in order to receive financial assistance. Emphasized in bold and underlined, the statement reads, “You need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children.”
The documents came in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made to USDA on July 20, 2012. The FOIA request sought: “Any and all records of communication relating to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals, and migrant communities, including but not limited to, communications with the Mexican government
The problem is that the great majority of government employees -- federal, state, local -- are Democrats and liberals who support illegal immigration.
Even if they work under conservative Republican political leaders, they go ahead and carry out their anti-American agenda anyway.
With ironclad civil service protections, they can't be fired.
This is why conservatives call for smaller government -- the smaller the better.
If Trump gets elected, I hope he uses his executive powers to simply close most federal agencies and replace them with new ones -- and new people, who won't sell this country out to terrorists, traitors, criminals and illegal aliens.

It's a federal law dating waaaaay back before his time. Possibly some didn't know because the states they live in weren't dealing with it at that time. I don't know. There are two ways to look at it, and I'm not sure where I stand. One belief, it's absolutely wrong and these kids shouldn't be in school. My property taxes in Texas are enormous and our schools are overwhelmed. Really, it's very frustrating. The other, they're here and it might be better that they are getting educated rather than having generation upon generation of uneducated kids, and the generations born here ARE eligible for public assistance. No easy answers.

This has been the result of not enforcing our immigration laws though. If our government started enforcing them then all this would go away and not be an issue in the first place.

Lol, not exactly a big surprise when case/eligibility workers are instructed not to inquire about citizenship.
