The procedure is simple. If the search turns up evidence the welfare recipients don't qualify for benefits, they lose the benefits.
Here's one thought worthy of discussion, though, from a federal judge who sided with the ACLU against the policy:
"This case is nothing less than an attack on the poor," said Judge Harry Pregerson, writing for the dissenters. "This is especially atrocious in light of the fact that we do not require similar intrusions into the homes and lives of others who receive government entitlements. The government does not search through the closets and medicine cabinets of farmers receiving subsidies."
Now would be a great time to crack down on all kinds of people who apply for government checks.
