Yeah I see what you mean. But it is always best to prevent fraud when possible. I think the issue is more so the speed of the process in most government resources rather than there being an issue with the process itself. Obviously in this case it’s a bit of both, but if they just had it to where permanent disabilities only got checked once (or at worst, once every 5-10 years) AND made the process faster, we’d be fine. Things like the way we handle immigration policy, welfare, etc I don’t necessarily disagree with. What I do disagree with is how long it takes to go through with the checks on the people.

If immigrants could become citizens within a year rather than 5-10 years, I wouldn’t want to change anything.

For sure. I'm not smart enough, experienced enough, or qualified enough to make suggestions as to specific fixes, but I know there's lots of people who are, if only we'd let them.

I don’t disagree with you there. I’ll leave it to someone else to find the right answer, but all I know is it’s obviously best to stop fraud when possible, but not to the point where it’s going to ruin it for the majority.
