Non Americans do Food Stamp fraud

Thursday, December 18, 2025

Authorities in Massachusetts charged two Haitian men with SNAP program fraud amounting to over $7 million on Wednesday. The suspects, 74-year-old Antonio Bonheur and 21-year-old Saul Alisme, each face one charge of food stamp fraud. District of Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said the two men used small storefronts, the Jesula Variety Store and Saul Mache Mixe Store, to redeem the SNAP benefits sometimes amounting to $500,000 per month.

This is the proper approach to solving the fraud problem. Find those doing the fraudalent activites and bring them to court.

Wholesale termination of SNAP benefits because of the actions of a very few is the wrong approach.

Yet under Biden and I would argue the Democrat platform, this wasn't the approach, as its racist.

Depends upon the amount of fraud. Did you know US gives out more welfare benefits than China.

What's racist about rooting out and prosecuting fraud?

Law enforcement has been accused of racism since at least the 60s for targeting minorities.

The question you just asked has no answer except to repeat the same accusation.

It has been decided that enforcing the law is....racist.

Look at our prisons.

"Law enforcement has been accused of racism since at least the 60s for targeting minorities."

Only sixty years?

You're one of these Republicans who pretends the origin of the police is something other than slave catchers.

The fat idiot you voted for committed a 1000 times the fraud and you dopes voted for him 3 times. Admit it's the racism and move on, clowns

It's odd since the bodycams went into affect you never hear about them being racists.

Ask Gov Walz. I don't make Lumper rules.

@#6 ... Law enforcement has been accused of racism since at least the 60s for targeting minorities. ...

Even to the point of turning off body-cams in some circumstances.

-Even to the point of turning off body-cams in some circumstances.

I wasn't referring to that.

I was referring to when cops legally arrest and prosecute criminals for committing actual crimes ... ... .its racist.

Do better please.

@#12 ... I was referring to when cops legally arrest and prosecute criminals for committing actual crimes ...

Maybe your alias should start up a thread on that trolling issue is if seems to be such a concern to it.

I'd really like to see the data behind that assertion.

But not in this thread about food stamp fraud.

There, did I do better?

My Eberly alias is thinking about it.

Ya know, when I first read your comment a few hours ago, I just dismissed.

But, after reading more comments from the troll farm, I'm thinking your comment may be more apropos.

-But not in this thread about food stamp fraud.

Let me put this as nice as I can ... ..I'll talk about anything I want anywhere I want anytime I want.

Using any alias of my choosing.

And stomp on your puny neck at the same time if I'm in the mood

Of course it is to you, because you have no response to my factual claim.

Deflecting to Trump is how I know you Lumpers are full of ----

I can't vote and I probably never will be able to. But I can't call -------- when I see it.

No you wouldn't you would ignore it.

Then go on asking Eberly BS questions, and he would answer because he has more integrity than you.

Like Freddie Gray, or Eric Garner?
There wasn't any racism in their deaths at the hands of police?

Oh, I agree, that is your right to do so.

Free speech, I am a proponent of that.

OK, so we agree on that.

Now, let's talk about this message board, and contributing to the conversation vs deflecting the conversation.

Why does your current alias seem to endeavor so hard to deflect discussions?

Asked differently, if it has differing views, why not start threads to discuss those views?

How many threads has your current alias started recently>

To me, it looks like the end goal of your current alias is to deflect, not to contribute.

#21,

Maybe you could ask your progressives friends on this board.

They deflect on almost EVERY topic anyone posts that's not in their ideology.

SNAP has been such a benefit to so many it makes sense that mobsters and the wealthy theives would syphon from it.

Haiti is riddled with these gangs and the public is terrified. I'm curious how the stolen funds were used.

An interesting fact: almost all products appear with the label "CONTAINS A BIOENGINEERED FOOD INGREDIENT".

I'm having a very hard time finding items that do not at several different grocers.

Non-Americans do fraud, Americans do fraud. Let's face it, any program is going to attract fraudsters, regardless of whether it's directed at poor people, farmers, doctors, small business middlemen, or big corporations.
