Do you think illegal immigrants should be able to use welfare/public assistance?

It sounds uncaring, but no. Should not even be up for debate until all American citizens have a roof, food, clothing, and minimal medical care, which means never. No foreign aid either for that matter. We take care of America first and if we can afford any benevolence that's up for debate. Emergency medical is the only exception, and just enough to sustain life until they are deported. OT but we should not allow immigrants that have not made a reasonable effort to become a citizen stay either. Both benefits and citizenship are contingent on one obeying the law. We should not reward people for breaking the law, and especially when we incarcerate citizens that do. Land of opportunity is for those willing to work for it and do it legally.

NO. EVERYTHING ILLEGALS AND THAT INCLUDES THE ONES THAT ODUMMER STARTED BRINGING IN ARE THIEVES PURE AND SIMPLE AND NOT ONE THING THEY DO EVEN BREATH IN THIS COUNTRY IS LEGAL AT ALL!!!
So the ONLY thing ALL illegals should get from this country is a BOOT in their backsides even the kids any kids of illegals should be shipped back to the MOST remote place in their country as far from the USA as poss. And I am in favor of the way one of our presidents did it. Round them up, put them on a ship and keep them below deck for the whole trip and the rest above is the way he dropped them off. And any of the snowflakes in this country that do not like it and any muslim that came here legally and the odummer and the left bringing them in around out system does not make them legal. THOSE low lifes have raped, murdered and attacked us in other ways already and should ALL be removed and NONE of what the left wants brought in allowed.

And ANY ILLEGAL of any kind should never be allowed to ever come into this country for any reason ever nore their kids.

Heck NO

Persons that enter this country through other than legal channels should be sent packing. I don't care where they go but not here. These folks come here for all the free hand outs they are give and rights they are given that are really for LEGAL US CITIZENS ONLY. The more we coddle these people, establish amnesty cities, counties and states the more we are erecting giant billboards advertising the fact that if they come here we will feed, cloth and provide cover place a few hundred dollars that usually are sent right back to Mexico Go to any Mexican grocery store round welfare day and you will see illegals lined up to wire money, via Western Union "home" which is their country of origin. Then they have the nerve to slap us around with our own Constitution, they bring and display flags from their country of origin and run around yelling "viva la raza." Now they want all written and spoken material in their own native language. I recently received a document from I don't recall who but there was an additional page included that was written in 13 non-english languages. Think about the cost of creating just that one document alone. Cost to pay translators and if they are paid by our government they are being reimbursed at top dollar, then the cost of printing millions of copy, stuff them in huge mailings

I can't believe as far as I read the posts here not a single snowflake took up the cause of Illegals. Thank you, Brothers. I was at a meeting with our County Sheriff where he was touting his new program of getting 2-year degrees for his inmates. The younger Vet I was seating with 36 just about blew a gasket. It hit me too, he's still using his hard earned benefits and I made a good income with the education I got from my hard-earned GI benefits. Illegals and criminals get benefits we don't get for free.

NO! Who would suggest otherwise?

Also, those who hire undocumented immigrants should be penalized out of business. That also will curb illegal immigration and the abuse of undocumented workers.

No, I do not.

No way, no how. This country spends too much money on illegals, when that money could be spent on the people who really need it, and they are Americans. I do think however that the system needs to be changed so that people who truly want to be here, can become legal without having to wait 8 years or more. We need to go back to the days of when people were processed through Ellis Island. Texas, I'm sure, would glad to have such a facility, as would New Mexico and Arizona. But I don't think California would be onboard such a thing

NO!
