If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Patricia Boggs

Not their fault they were put out of s job

Sue Evans

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.

It is what trump wants

Max

The violence is from the Left. Trump, and Americans want Law and Order.

Jane Porter

Yes it is inevitable, it will continue until ICE is stopped. Honestly I thought would happen sooner.

Max

Ice will not be stopped, they will just get better tools, and use them sooner.

Jeremy Salas

Its a bunch of Lil weiner having, trigger happy racists joining ice that couldn't make it in real law enforcement or military.

Max

That protect you and your children.

Fred

I am sure many are white supremacists and neo-nazis.

Will Mason

Unless the" protestors" (In reality they are insurectionists) stop being violent, the violence will continue. .

Max

600 of those protesters were Pelosi plants.

Fred

January 6, 2021 was insurrection ... citizens protesting government overreach and invasion of their neighborhoods by unknown masked men in battle fatigues & assault weapons is NOT!

Ruthann Black

As long as violent protesters are blocking federal agents from doing their jobs , it will continue.

Fred

It will continue as long as ICE and DHS continue to use excessive force!

Steve Baumann

There is an anti-American movement that's gained momentum over the past few years. And with the discovery of mass corruption, such as in Minneapolis, those profiting from those activities are going to fight back, hard.

Nicole McGregor

The new agents aren't properly trained and they have zero accountability!

Toasty

While the liberals/socialists/communists/democrats continue the narrative of victimization, they will find useful idiots to carry out their agenda. This poor woman believed the lies and lost her life.

Fred

Masked secret police roaming the streets with no accountability would have never been accepted in America in the past. If they themselves weren't ashamed of there actions, they wouldn't be wearing masks. Our democracy is spiraling the drain!

James Sowash

Until politicians in both parties quit making inflammatory statements, it will continue.

Children are not the property of the State. Their safety belongs to their loving parents, not to a politician.

This new guideline will only benefit the big insurance companies as they will no longer have to cover the cost of the vaccines.
