I didn't see it

Racism is overused and missused I believe. If you are referring to hook and crook, possibly this can be taken a few different ways but what she says is correct. Since forever people have migrated here by stealing from others. The history books have it all in writing and up to this very day. I can assure you it still happens. No, it shouldn't happen and if we had a better, more controled Government, ilegals couldn't get away with it. Our country has welfare and government assistance. We have millions upon millions of illegal immigrants that reside here, especially from Mexico. Some do work hard and are very great people but then of course, some aren't. These illegal immigrant also have benefits that most legal Americans don't. Since they don't report their taxes under the correct names, they are eligible for government assistant, compensation, food stamps, free health care etc... and what is funny, is most know the ins and outs before they ever arrive here and how to manipulate the government to their benefit. You can say I am racists but I know first hand these things happen because my husband works for a company that hires a whole lot of people from Mexico. Let's say this man, his name is entirely a different name than the the social security card he's presented that has a white name on it. You see it's really not him but he's used it for the last ten years and has gotten away with it so far, as well as his wife, she does the same, they get all the government assistance because they use a separate name when applying for them. So while he's getting a pay check, getting a check from the government, as well as free health care, food stamps...and his wife is too. Upon millions of others are also doing the same, and the Government sit's idly by knowing. I guess that is what she means by hook and crook in this day and age. I also am one hoping that fingerprinted social security cards with pictures come out soon.

I worked for a hospital. What is funny, to get free medical care, no social security number was given, a fake phone number and a fake name. I saw thousands and thousands of immigrants do this. Here, if one walks into a hospital and needs medical attention, it has to be given. But the thing is, once these people leave, they can never be located again to pay their bill so of course...the bill has to be covered somehow and hence, the legal people suffer. It's amazing at how many ways illegal immigrants can work the government for their benefit here and people may call it racist when this it is mentioned. It's not, it's just fact.

As for these Arab men that lie, deceive, steal and seem to have no natural affection for anyone else but themselves, I don't think it's racists to say that this is what they are doing. This site is here to open people's eyes and to make it known so people aren't so stupid and naive to give their lives away to these men. There are millions of scammers out there from Egypt, Morroco, and these Arab countries dying to find any way to get out of their country and they will do just about anything to get what they want. There are good men every where granted, but the good ones are usually at home or work making a life for their families. The thing is, most of the men you find on the internet that are from these countries, if they were so wonderful, they would be too busy with their lives to be sitting day and night at internet cafes trying to hook up with women 15 to 20 years older than them. Even the USA puts out warnings from these countries, it needs to be taken seriously. It's not racist, it's telling people to use common sense.
