I agree, Wolf. There are some people who abuse the system, but for every individual who is abusing it, there are 100 who desperately need the help. And many of the people who illegally have someone live with them do so out of dire financial need. SSI only pays $530/month, and its very hard to live on that, even with a housing voucher. People with housing vouchers are still required to pay 30% of their income toward rent. 30% of $530.00 is $159.00, leaving the individual with $381.00/month to cover the rest of their expenses. Can you wonder that they might take another person into the household to help with expenses?
Punishing the innocent for the crimes of a few is NOT the solution to the problem. The clever cons will continue to manipulate the system. The honest old lady on a tiny pension will have nowhere to go.
