Junior is/was a dirty boy. You could broaden the focus if it was really about corruption.


It's not really about corruption. Do you not think $8700/month in disability is a little expensive for a place like Chicago that last I heard can't even afford to provide school bussing for taxpayers kids in the city. The city of Chicago doesn't. Jesse Jackson Jr. is getting that disability money legally and is viewed as entitled to it by the law. That's a freaking joke!
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I thought disability was for people who could not work, like my mom who was curled up in a distorted fetal position due to MS.

We (working people) all did. Yet this article points out that the rise of disability has more to do with available good paying jobs than it does with any change in public health. The fact that the rise of disability has decelerated as the economy and border enforcement have gotten better proves it.

Is it seriously suggested that undocumented immigrants are to a significant extent interested in anything other than paid employment? If so, where are the data to suggest that this is the case?

When undocumented immigrants accept paid employment at a lower rate than a native born American can get on disability and side hustle paid under the table this obviously increases the number of people on disability.


i.e. the guy who climbed Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburns 100ft tree to top cut it down only to ask the check be made out to his mother as he was currently collecting on SSI/Disability.

Native-born white Americans seem to be unscrupulous and tricksy people compared to undocumented Hispanic immigrants, who just want paid work and are prepared to accept reasonable wages.

Fortunately the day of the white American is over:

Breaking: America’s White Population Plummets To 2.7% After Trump Caves On Immigration Enforcement

WASHINGTON—In a stunning development unfolding rapidly throughout the once-predominantly Caucasian nation, America’s white population plummeted to 2.7 percent Wednesday following President Trump’s decision to cave on immigration enforcement. “The second that Trump showed weakness on immigration, people throughout Central America came flooding across the borders into the country—and there’s no sign that they’ll stop anytime soon,” said a representative from the United States Census Bureau, adding that the tens of millions of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Belize, and Costa Rica immediately took up residence in every major American city while forcing white families out of their homes, seizing control of the economy at both the local and national levels, and compelling the remaining white citizens to attempt to learn basic Spanish in order to secure entry-level jobs in the service industry. “Within hours of Trump’s executive order, every highway sign in the nation had been replaced with one in Spanish. All our data indicate that English will be effectively a dead language in the United States within the next few weeks.” At press time, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional anunció una prohibición permanente de todos inmigrantes de países caucásicos.

The common denominator is not race. Both of these groups are liberal democrat voters. Fraud will continue as America browns. Illegal immigrants will pull the same tricks as native born low income Democrats when they gain their citizenship. The US will continue to look and function more and more like a Latin American country.

So it's not race then ... it's being poor. What is it about America that makes most low-income people become so unscrupulous and vote Democrat, do you think?

I love it. What is the country doing wrong to make people unscrupulous and immoral? I must hand it to you liberals. You're masters at avoiding personal responsibility.


America rewards such unscruplousness with cash payment. That might be why people do it.
