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.

Not their fault they were put out of s job

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.

Are you kidding with this question???? ICE is staffed by a bunch of n'er-do-wells and untrained baffoons at the behest of the corrupt person in the WH!! Of course! there should be NO ICE facilities anywhere in this country!!

Oakley Taylor

ICE is a dangerous entity and their presence only inspires unnecessary violence in our communities. They have no place in our state, our country.

I am fed up with right wing jack boots trying to turn to us all into thugs and hatefull people. They have already put the dumbest most corrupt liar, cheat, racist, bigot, adulterer, and all around dumb ass in the white house.
