Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, revealed that 500,000 people are illegally obtaining illegal welfare benefits in red states, and that there are also a significant number of dead people on the dole. This fraud is not limited to blue states, as Democrat-run states were reluctant to cooperate with the Department of Agriculture. She revealed that 29 states, including 29 Republican states, responded to requests for cooperation in sharing of the data. She also revealed that 895 people were arrested in the last year for illegally using the food stamp system. The most shocking aspect of the story is that this fraud is occurring in red States with a less reputation for fraud than blue states like California and Minnesota.
