It is exactly the same situation here in Canada too.<br />A so-called 'refugee' to Canada can get over twice as much pension as a natural born Canadian, who has worked his/her whole life and has paid in full into the pension system during that time. This is on top of all the other freebies they are handed when they arrive here. It's truly disgusting!<br />More people like us should let our thoughts be known.<br /><br />Elaine in CanadaElainenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158739115745029631.post-77102688259248192032009-10-30T02:02:49.457+00:002009-10-30T02:02:49.457+00:00It is always more painful to have to

Yes, here in the states the illegals get free health insurance and my daughter who works can not afford to buy it and is not eligible to get it for free like they do. She has to share an apt. with 2 other girls to make ends meet but they get free housing and are not even citizens!<br /><br />It's not right! I'm tired of paying for them too!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430521425239584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158739115745029631.post-60768998460844617262009-10-29T23:24:35.236+00:002009-10-29T23:24:35.236+00:00I can totally relate to this Jan.

A friend of mine used to work with Immigration/Customs in Canada and for every single refugee that crossed into Canada from the U.S. and claimed to be a refugee instantly got $50,000 worth of home, clothing, allowances etc....utter stupidity. And the people of Canada are in the same situation as here...when you need help you have to prove that you were born first before they consider you human. <br /><br />I'll stop now before I have a mad moment. <br /><br />TessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158739115745029631.post-28922133472631651492009-10-28T11:18:40.161+00:002009-10-28T11:18:40.161+00:00I know exactly how you feel, Jan.

We have a mortgage so got no help for housing and faced losing our home. At his interview, DH was asked why I don't work outside the home - we had a 4 yr old at the time. The reply was that I should put her in nursery and they would pay most of the fees. So I'd be working to give someone else a job and not see my daughter....I didn't have my children to palm off on someone else. Now we are trying to move and finding it hard to find a mortgage. Should we sell up, move into rented accomodation and blow the profits so that next time we need help, we'll get it? I saw the stuff this week about changes to lone parents benefits and was horrified - 10 annd 11 year olds still need their parents. Every sympathy to NN.<br /><br />Fiona.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158739115745029631.post-27825316069966816882009-10-28T08:20:14.433+00:002009-10-28T08:20:14.433+00:00Jan, that is awful, and our politicians wonder why...Jan, that is awful, and our politicians wonder why voters are turning to the extremist parties!

She finally got to sit her citizenshiop test (she probably knows more about our country than some of the lazy 'people' who originate from this country and sit on their bottoms dreaming up more ways of how they can get money out of the system)! J sent off her papers months ago. Has she got her ID card yet? Has she heck. Are they getting Child Benefit yet? Are they heck. Is Andy getting any Tax Credit for Dan? Is he heck. These are two people who fell in love and because she comes from a foreign country and they have done things by the book they have been penalised. If Jenny had come into this country illegally they would be sitting pretty now! To make it even more galling A is in our Armed Frioces and is going to Afghanistan early next year. You know how I feel about this so I can totally empathise with how you feel about A's situation.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548354462928773229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7158739115745029631.post-59881081696016786202009-10-28T02:48:21.572+00:002009-10-28T02:48:21.572+00:00There is a lot of that going on in our country, to...There is a lot of that going on in our country, too.......hardworking natives of the country get little to no assistance even though it is really needed. BUT....the ones who come here and cheat the system seem never to be caught and keep on doing it. Something isn't right...that's for sure. My heart goes out to your daughter in this situation.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930049919252042391noreply@blogger.com
