James O'Keefe: “I Will Twist and Turn Our Provisions”: Nevada DHHS Specialist Caught on Camera Admitting to “Bending the Rules” to Provide Benefits for Illegal Immigrants
Quote
... According to Mack, emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrants is supposed to be granted on a month-to-month basis and only for severe, qualifying conditions. However, he confessed that he bypasses this process entirely. “They’re supposed to apply every month,” he said, “so I just approve them for 12 months… because I can.”

When asked if that kind of discretion was allowed, Mack responded bluntly: “I make it so. I bend the rules a lot.” He added later, “I will twist and turn our provisions to fit the way that I want them to be.”

Mack also acknowledged a culture within the agency of avoiding cooperation with federal immigration authorities, stating, “We would never call ICE. We do not work with them ever.”

When pressed on whether this behavior amounted to subverting the law, Mack didn’t hesitate: “I do that a lot.”

Mack’s conduct could potentially violate multiple Nevada laws, including statutes related to misappropriation of public funds and the Nevada False Claims Act, which prohibits knowingly approving or submitting false claims for state payment. ...

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I hate inaccuracy in headlines. The employee didn't allege misconduct - he admitted it. Claimed it - proudly.
