Rell: Let Illegals Eat Heat
Monday September 8, 2008
Gov. Rell, captured in the field this morning, had some cold words for undocumented/illegal Connecticut residents who may be planning on concocting a false Social Security number to procure some heating assistance this winter..
"The law states very clearly that if we suspect fraud in any case, including those individuals who are not legally in the country or are not legally registered as citizens, to obtain assistance that the (state Department of Social Services) may ask for Social Security numbers to ascertain eligibility. We don’t do that on an individual basis unless you suspect fraud may be in play or that someone is receiving assistance that they should not.They have already randomly checked and cross-checked people’s Social Security numbers."
Asked what undocumented/illegal aliens should do, Rell opined:
"They may have family members that would qualify, or if there’s a member of the family who is a legal resisdent in the househould, but the person who is illegally here would not on his or her own be able to qualify."

What illegal aliens should do is follow the laws of the United States and live in a country under legal measures. First, do you want to pay additional taxes for criminals' heat? If so, write them a nice big check yourself. Please explain to the middle class property taxpayers why their taxes should go up to subsidize people who are here ILLEGALLY. I hear they send their checks back to Mexico instead of spending what they earn the country in which they earn it. Instead of that money being funneled to Mexico, spend it on your own upkeep right here in CT.
