Did he really say "the lame"?

[nogods]

Did Carl really say that he was going to stop "the lame" from coming to New York to get welfare benefits?

"The lame"?

"I'm not politically correct" is not an excuse for ignorance.

An angry old white guy with no programs and apparently little knowledge of facts about the outrageous claims he is making - that is how he came off in media yesterday.

Worst, the media has started toying with him just to get him hollerin', spittin' and cussin'

Carl can't be a buffoon because he's worth a $150 million ... or so the true believers claim.

Oo yea Buffalo ny is crawling with Mexicanos!

But not really..

I don't think there is much of an illegal problem here. NYC is different though..

And the "lame," well lets look at how insulting that is to people with disabilities. So Carl has something against disabled people?

[nogods]

for Carl's sake, I hope no one in his organization issues a press release tomorrow explaining that "he meant to say 'crippled people'"

So the 15 that were arrested at the Holiday Inn on the blvd a few months ago isn't a problem??

I play hockey with a few guys who do landscaping, 75% of the people that work for them aren't legal.

You kidding, res?

For years the south put freed slaves on trains to the north. But even more pertinent, Erie County was famous for accepting new arrivals and supporting them immediately. When Gov Rockefeller tried to establish a one year residency plan, it was decided that that was unconstitutional, by the Supreme Court. They even went back one year to find anyone who had applied for welfare here and was denied it, and 'compensated' by paying them a years worth of support. Even if they were living out of town.

Buffalo did benefit from the migration of southerners during WW2 when there was zero unemployment.
