A letter to the editor in The Daily News Journal<\/a>, Tennessee<\/p>\n

Illegal immigrants receive government welfare<\/p>\n

To the editor,<\/p>\n

I recently tried to renew my son’s TennCare and was told that suddenly my husband and I make too much money. My husband works for himself and he has no medical insurance. I work as a substitute teacher and I have no medical insurance. We have no insurance because we cannot afford independent insurance. My son is supposed to be covered by his father but is not, so I have to find a way to provide it. I do not receive child support, either, so my son’s stepdad and I provide as much as we can for him.<\/p>\n

I am an American citizen, my father was a Vietnam veteran, I pay taxes and I have a Social Security number and a valid driver’s license. <\/p>\n

I have been to the Department of Human Services in Murfreesboro at least three times in the past 12 months, and I have seen at least 20 illegal immigrants who do not have Social Security numbers<\/a>, jobs and who do not pay taxes.<\/p>\n

I know this information because we are all in a big room like cattle and we are all asked to fill out the same paperwork, which requires everyone’s Social Security number in your family of whom you need benefits for.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you what these people receive: food stamps, free child care, Families First and TennCare.<\/p>\n

Does anyone see something wrong here?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
