The North Carolina House has approved a bill mandating background checks for welfare

[bigrebnc1775]

This is a good thing

The bill that passed 106-6 Thursday requires all social services employees to perform background checks to bar applicants and recipients with outstanding warrants or other active violations from welfare and food stamp programs. Employees would have to report them to law enforcement.

Bill sponsor Rep. Dean Arp, a Republican from Monroe, noted the federal government already prohibits giving public assistance to fleeing felons and others with active violations.

Arp appeased many opponents after providing assurances that county offices won't shoulder additional costs. Some Democrats previously expressed concern about creating new burdens for social services employees and the perception that the bill unfairly singles out poor people for distrust.

The bill now heads to the Senate.

Most excellent !!! I wanna see all the drug addicts who milk the system living on the streets.
That way when they commit crimes to support their drug habit they will be eligible for a free roof over their heads and three squares a day. Because personally I would rather pay for their incarceration then their drug habit.

I'd rather the citizens take care of them themselves with their firearms, and not pay for either. Breaking into my house to steal money for drugs? BOOM MUTHAFUCKA

The best offender, is a dead offender!

And if passed it will be struck down as un-Constitution, just as the failed Florida law requiring drug tests for public assistance applicants.

The law will be invalidated on 14th Amendment grounds, in that it denies access to public assistance law of a particular class of persons absent a rational basis or legitimate legislative end, there is no evidence that those who apply for public assistance are any more likely to have a criminal record than the general population, consequently the proposed law is motivated solely by animus toward those who seek only assistance from the government.

The ‘presumption of guilt’ with regard to public assistance applicants clearly violates the Due Process Clause of the 5th and 14th Amendments, and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

This is yet another example of the ignorance and hate of the reactionary, delusional right.

Fleeing felon? Why not all felons period? Also deny them the right to have a car like we deny them the right to guns.

If this violates the 14A, why doesn't affirmative action?

So you only support background checks of law abiding citizens over backgrounds checks of criminal. FIGURES.

Are you trying to claim that all welfare applicants are criminals and all gun owners are law-abiding citizens?

Without background checks we the tax payers will never know.

 

[whitehall]

Wouldn't you think the federal welfare law would already include background checks to determine if the recipients aren't fugitives from justice? What a Country.

democrats are experts at class warfare.
Democrats oppose ID checks and background check that keep criminals from having access to other peoples money
Democrats support any laws that will restrict law abiding citizens of their rights.

that is the dumbest post i have ever heard !!i shall neg you !!

 

[Soulless65]

I just want to ask a question to anyone that thinks this is a bad idea. If wanting background checks to people on welfare is bad than what is the solution to people who use the system for their own gain. That's all I hope that this post doesn't make me an evil Liberal or conservative I'm just a guy just asking a question.
