Like lots of folks in america, I've employment. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the us government distributes my taxes while they see fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am needed to go a urine test, which I have no issue with. And the primary reason I've no issue with a drug test is because I've nothing to full cover up. What I actually do have a problem with is the distribution of my fees to people that are never and doing drugs have to move a urine test.
Because I have to pass one to make it for them, should not one have to pass a urine test to obtain a welfare check?
Please comprehend, I've no problem with helping people return on the feet. I really do, on one other hand, have trouble with helping somebody sit on their butt. Might you imagine the amount of money the state could save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
A 1999 Michigan law required a pilot program of random substance abuse testing in at least three areas. Medicine assessment began at the start of October in Alpena, Presque Isle, and Berrien counties and a selected area of Western Wayne County, including a number of Detroit's west side neighborhoods.
Most of the new applicants for that place had to offer a urine sample to officers or stop trying their right to any government assistance. In addition, any individuals already in the device had to submit to random screening website.
A class action suit was filed by the Michigan chapter of the ACLU two days just before schedule testing. The suit charges that this program violates the constitutional rights of welfare recipients. A Detroit organization and two Michigan mothers (The Westside Mothers) were named in the suit. The corporation is targeted on addressing a huge selection of welfare recipients and their families. Kary Moss, executive director of the ACLU in Michigan claims, "The Fourth Amendment guarantees that no individual in this country can be subjected to a search by the government unless there is reasonable suspicion that they have committed some crime, welfare recipients might be bad, but that is not a not yet, anyway."
I've spoken to several people in person and on forums about their thoughts and the ones that oppose this have the exact same stance, that it is unconstitutional. In my opinion, it seems that I am not driving random drug examination onto any random citizen. The welfare recipient chooses to get support from the federal government. Therefore just like submitting paperwork, you need to send a urine test. Yet another position people discuss is false positives. Then execute a hair follicle test, well if they maintain false good.
If urine check are unconstitutional, then discard the complete welfare system. Let your voice be heard on Political Majority.com.
