Muslims Stealing from Americans

This is depressing. My wife and I can’t afford kids, but the refugees in front of me in Sam’s loaded up two carts like this and are paying with SNAP aid. Why do they get so much more help than an American couple? (Photo Credit: CHRISMAN01/REDDIT)
A Questionable New Record
Federal prosecutors assert they have charged a dozen in a $20 million SNAP rip-off along with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The 12 charged over four cases are Hasan Saleh, 59, Mohammed Alobaisi, 37, Reynold Francois, 38, Ihab Hassouna, 44, Mohammad Alteen, 33, Maria Jerdana, 36, Joe Ann Baker, 56, Yousef “Joe” Homedan Zahran, 60, Omar Hajje, 43, Jalal Hajyousef, 42, Andy Javier Herrera, 24, and father Javier Herrera, 49.
Some of the defendants owned, worked at or operated stores authorized to accept Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program payments, known as SNAP. Others worked at stores not authorized, but allegedly used the point-of-sale terminals for stores that were authorized.
The fraud happened like this, according to authorities: A store clerk swipes a person’s electronic benefits card at a point-of-sale terminal for a large amount. The person with the card is paid a lesser amount in cash. The remainder is ill-gotten profit for the store owner. Saleh managed Four Corners convenience store, 821 NW Sixth St. in Fort Lauderdale, which wasn’t authorized to take SNAP payments.
Prosecutors say Saleh and other Four Corners employees used the point-of-sale terminals at Liberty City’s Sparkle, 6530 NW 18th Ave., run by Alobaisi. Prosecutors say that Saleh, Alobaisi and employees Francois, Hassouna, Alteen, Jerdana and Baker stole $2 million with the scheme in little more than a year.

They’ll all be free and running other illegal schemes shortly, and living off their ill-gotten gains. South Florida should prepare for a lot more fraud. Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans are bolting to Florida, and can now apply for food stamps.

We have become weak and willing to accept this as the “New Normal.” One person cannot purify this hideous immorality. It will take a majority of the more than 320 million American citizens to “Drain the Congressional Swamp.”
