I dont normally see eye to eye with you, but this we clearly agree on.
The system needs overhaul from the ground up....its so corrupt and full of loopholes.
I wonder though if its manufactured....like a pyramid scheme? Here comes my inner NUT again
I figure they are accomplishing what we as Americans are failing willingly. We should be spending a lot of our money feeding the world and uplifting other countries out of the stone ages. But no, we are stuck in an ideology of selfishness, greed and war.

The system is broken. The Earth has the capacity to feed around 12 billion at current estimates. We only have 7 billion population so why are people starving? We should be able to fully feed every single human being on the planet but worries about compensation and "whos gonna pay for it" cripple our efforts.
I fully support them sending food to their malnourished families even if I have to pay a few extra dollars in taxes.
The real crime is not these immigrants sending food to their homelands, it's that we in the modern nations waste so much food. We throw away what others kill each other over and it sickens me. We place laws that force growers to destroy perfectly edible crops because of market manipulations.
Don't like America? Visit a dirt poor country and you'll change your angry little tune.
NO! The real crime is claiming to need the food then sending it abroad....its people receiving/benefiting from our meager beggings.....The programs are funded by american tax dollars.
They are not american....and it it not right.
Those "charities" take most of the donated money for themselves and their "fees". So that's a no go.

A decision to feed family is a no-brainer.

quoted 4 truth [and both posts should have more stars ]
funny how the tax slaves keep on insisting that it's "their money".
after they've handed it over to the gangsters for "Protection" *COUGH* I mean, paid their taxes.
to the grasping "my money" crowd :
Don't like it?
grow a pair and STOP paying taxes then.
simples.
of course, when these "folk" speak of freedom it's freedom to oppress and exploit those beneath them
