Kathy Shaidle (Five Feet of Fury) has a good post at Pajamas Media that is a sort of bookend piece to my earlier post this a.m. about how high the percentage is of immigrants on welfare in the US. By the way, the polygamy Shaidle references in Canada is happening here as well.
From Pajamas Media:
In 2008, the Toronto Sun reported that “hundreds of [Greater Toronto Area] Muslim men in polygamous marriages — some with a harem of wives — are receiving welfare and social benefits for each of their spouses, thanks to the city and province, Muslim leaders say.”
“Polygamy is a regular part of life for many Muslims,” Canadian Society of Muslims president Mumtaz Ali declared bluntly. “Ontario recognizes religious marriages for Muslims and others.”
Government officials quickly denied the Muslim leader’s claims about immigration law and social benefits regulations. Only one public servant seemed sufficiently concerned. “This is wrong,” said city councilor Rob Ford. [Writer Shaidle tells us further in the story that Ford is now mayor of Toronto and did not respond to recent inquiries from Shaidle for an update, no surprise there—ed]
“They should put a stop to this immediately.”
Instead, welfare abuse by Muslims appears to have metastasized across the Western world. Almost three years later, news stories about radical Muslims — often immigrants — engaged in social benefits scams emerge regularly from Europe, Canada, and Australia. Even when they are not involved in fraud, Muslims frequently are overrepresented on welfare rolls, compared with other communities. The statistics from around the globe are jaw-dropping, especially in economically uncertain times.
Read it all. Learn how we in the West are paying for our own demise.
Would someone in authority please begin to seriously connect the dots on the Food Stamp fraud cases in the US—the ones involving convenience stores and trading benefits for cash!
