NYP: Food stamps are paying for trans-Atlantic takeout — with New Yorkers using taxpayer-funded benefits to ship food to relatives in Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.So, you come to America to make a better life for yourself, but our multi-culti sensitive system is designed to maintain your previous identity? Besides undermining the key purpose of the food stamp program (to help feed impoverished Americans), these kind of actions speak to the broader problem of assimilation, which we continue to see in many other communities.
Welfare recipients are buying groceries with their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards and packing them in giant barrels for the trip overseas, The Post found.
The practice is so common that hundreds of 45- to 55-gallon cardboard and plastic barrels line the walls of supermarkets in almost every Caribbean corner of the city.
The feds say the moveable feasts go against the intent of the $86 billion welfare program for impoverished Americans.
And don't tell me we don't have an assimilation problem in America when Univision, the all-Spanish-speaking network, tops U.S. ratings among July sweeps!
This isn't the new American citizenship...this is global doctrine.
