Finally, welfare cheaters being caught

By using DNA!

Over three years, Moshi Chilwana received $62,335.28 in public assistance for medical appointments, food stamps and child care. Each time she filled out an application, the mother of two children listed an uncle as the only other resident in her Blaine home and said that the children's father lived in Turkey.

Investigators became suspicious when the alleged father of the children also applied for medical help, listing the same home address as Chilwana. They learned the father bought the house for $232,000 and owned a Mercedes-Benz.

But what sealed the case against Chilwana was an extremely rare request by the Anoka County attorney's office for a DNA sample that proved the "uncle" living with Chilwana was the children's father, Khamis Rashid.

Now they just need to go after the lowlifes who leech welfare because they're too damn lazy to better themselves and find a job.

That's great, it's about time! Now they need to start going after the people claiming welfare from two states.

This is great, funny how we don't hear about this from politicians, only how to spend more instead of looking for ways to cut the budget from fraud and not programs that actually help people in need.

You don't hear about it because it's lost votes for Dems if it gets out.
