is it fraud?

There are three people that came from cuba on a political asylum and received not only a resident card but they are also on welfare. (they are milking the system to the fullest.)
my question is they just when back to cuba on vacation... and bragged about $100.00 pair pants and expensive shirts for their trip. How is it possible that if your on on welfare you can afford such things and air fare of over $1,000.00.
They get Medicaid, they live in building where is subsidized by the Gov.
If this is illegal can I report them? and where?

It certainly doesnt sound right, but write everything down, get your facts straight and call immigration.

What is your concern? The manner in which they spend their money? There are absolutely no restrictions on Government assistance. They could live in a cardboard box and drive a Mercedes and it's not against the law.

Do not believe in everything people bragged about when they visited their home countries. The US government has certain rules about assistance given to the poor, and the truth is it's enough to feed the kids but not enough for fancy stuffs. Most people tell different stories, nobody ever tells the truth that they have hotdogs for dinner 6 days a week because they're the cheapest items available... or they have to work 2-3 jobs, to be able to pay bills, etc.

By the way, it's none of your business.

cory2019 disagrees: it is my business, i am a tax payer in america
JudyKayTee disagrees: You asked a question - not liking the answers does not make them incorrect. It comes down to your motive in reporting people for alleged fraud.

they came here on a political asylum how can they go back to cuba on vacation using welfare money,?
Its not just about the pants... We work hard and pay taxes so they can live with free medicine, travel, and so on.... i don't know about any of you guys but i do know
people especially now who work pay to pay check who have never received welfare and really don't make enough for a vacation.

something is wrong in our system.

I apologize.

So - as I said, it comes down to people who can afford vacations and $100 pants.

cory2019,so because they came here on political asylum are they not supposed to visit their country whenever they like?EVER AGAIN?are they supposed to die here in america and never step foot in their country again because they were given residence card and are on welfare?there are americans here itself who use the system to the fullest if given the chance so why concentrate only on the foreigners who do if thats what they are doing?by the way you don't know how long they saved or what they went through before going to visit their country or whether they are telling the truth about $100 pants or just bragging.the truth lies behind closed doors.and how someone lives their lives or how they spend their money is none of your business or are you jealous or something?you are a tax payer we all get that,but don't you think your taxes are also used for worse things other than this?concentrate on your life and if you want a vacation like they got keep saving and you will get there.the rest of the posts are certainly right "it's none of your business".i doubt if you call immigration they will be able to help you on how these people are living their lives but there is certainly no harm in trying but just don't end up looking like a fool.
