Muslims Stealing from Americans

This is depressing. My wife and I can't afford kids, but the refugees in front of me in Sam's loaded up two carts like this and are paying with SNAP aid. Why do they get so much more help than an American couple? (Photo Credit: CHRISMAN01/REDDIT)

Everybody is getting hooked on the free stuff. Americans, illegals and now even the Muslims won’t be outdone as America becomes the feeding trough for every deprived and depraved slacker that can sponge off the American taxpayer.

Food stamp trafficking, now political correctly known as SNAP is alive and well in my home state of Florida. The Justice Department has uncovered

the largest combined financial fraud loss for a food stamp trafficking takedown in history.

Sadly, these bureaucratic buffoons think they hit the fraud motherlode. In a previous article I stated they purport that SNAP fraud is only one percent, far less than Medicare and Medicaid fraud. Are we supposed to get excited about that? The real fraud rate is closer to 25 percent and climbing.

A Questionable New Record

Federal prosecutors assert they have charged a dozen in a $20 million SNAP rip-off along with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The 12 charged over four cases are Hasan Saleh, 59, Mohammed Alobaisi, 37, Reynold Francois, 38, Ihab Hassouna, 44, Mohammad Alteen, 33, Maria Jerdana, 36, Joe Ann Baker, 56, Yousef “Joe” Homedan Zahran, 60, Omar Hajje, 43, Jalal Hajyousef, 42, Andy Javier Herrera, 24, and father Javier Herrera, 49.

In this instance, eight small convenience stores in South Florida committed a staggering amount of fraud in a relatively short amount of time,

stated Karen Citizen-Wilcox, special agent in charge, U.S. Department of Agriculture-Office of the Inspector General.

These retailers created an illegal benefits exchange system that defrauded the American taxpayer and denied healthy foods to needy children and their families. The store owners who allegedly orchestrated this trafficking scheme pocketed millions in ‘fees’ which they charged for converting food assistance benefits into cash.

Some of the defendants owned, worked at or operated stores authorized to accept Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program payments, known as SNAP. Others worked at stores not authorized, but allegedly used the point-of-sale terminals for stores that were authorized.

Bill Muckler’s incredible insight brings profound vision to today's issues. Wisdom, logic and common sense are applied to provide reasoned resolutions to restore our republic’s exceptionalism and drive our country forward to newfound prosperity. 

20/20 reveals how a small, limited streamlined government is the best solution to make America complete again.

How They Steal our Money

The fraud happened like this, according to authorities: A store clerk swipes a person’s electronic benefits card at a point-of-sale terminal for a large amount. The person with the card is paid a lesser amount in cash. The remainder is ill-gotten profit for the store owner. Saleh managed Four Corners convenience store, 821 NW Sixth St. in Fort Lauderdale, which wasn’t authorized to take SNAP payments.

Prosecutors say Saleh and other Four Corners employees used the point-of-sale terminals at Liberty City’s Sparkle, 6530 NW 18th Ave., run by Alobaisi. Prosecutors say that Saleh, Alobaisi and employees Francois, Hassouna, Alteen, Jerdana and Baker stole $2 million with the scheme in little more than a year.

Case No. 2 involved Zahran, also known as Youssef Hussein, who worked at Pompano Beach’s Community Food Store, 401 NW 27th Ave. He is being accused of being on the fraud train. Hajje and Hajyousef owned Steve Market 2 and Yum-Yum’s grocery, stores across the street from each other at 6804 NW 15th Ave. and 6813 NW 15th Ave. in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood. They fraudulently stole $4.2 million. But federal prosecutors give the money title, $10 million, to the Herreras, who also allegedly ran their game longer than everyone else. Andy owned Santa Ana Market II, 1832 NW 17th Ave. in Miami. Father Javier worked there and Santa Ana Market, 3000 NW 12th Ave. Javier has convictions for third-degree grand theft and lottery violations on his rap sheet.

Free to Steal Again

They’ll all be free and running other illegal schemes shortly, and living off their ill-gotten gains. South Florida should prepare for a lot more fraud. Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans are bolting to Florida, and can now apply for food stamps.

We have become weak and willing to accept this as the “New Normal.” The new normal of accepting people stealing from us in creative methods fostered by the big bureaucracy known affectionately as the swamp. One person cannot purify this hideous immorality. It will take a majority of the more than 320 million American citizens to “Drain the SNAP Swamp.”

Finally, an author who brings you solutions, instead of problems.

Americans have lost faith in their overreaching federal government. “We the People” don’t need to be overregulated or have their taxes misspent. Americans are victims of a crumbling economy, high prices and stagnant wages. They view government as bloated and politicians as corrupt.

They do not trust the leadership at any level. They see politicians of both parties as self-centered narcissists whose only objective is re-election. The author is like you, with one principal difference and 20 reasons for optimism. His “Vision” of America is “clear.” It is a vision of the Constitution and America the way it could be, the way it should be. The author’s eyesight is twenty-twenty.

    Hello Bill,
    I loved your article on the SNAPers! Keep up the good work, but please don’t take my NFL.

  • Bill Muckler Reply

    Gary, I intended to write one article on SNAP because they advertise it so heavily in Florida. By the time I got everything together, I had enough material for about 8 articles. I ended up with 5.

    You can watch the NFL. I hope when you watched my video you understood why I was doing it. Unfortunately, I have no interest in the NFL after they screwed St. Louis by allowing the Cardinals and Rams to relocate. And didn’t the real Browns become the Ravens? Besides, the college games are much more exciting and entertaining.
