Considering all the illegal immigrants in this country, do you think they should be able to use welfare or public assistance considering they aren't citizens and that many working Americans are denied welfare or public assistance.

No, they are draining our economy and making a mess of our welfare system as it is already. They have baby after baby just to get more money and assistance and the majority of the time it's not the same father or they aren't even married so they can collect the money or assistance.
Then you see them in the stores using their cards to buy the most expensive stuff they can get away with and then when they have to pay cash they pull out these thick wad of bills to pay the cashier with 100's
Makes me sick! Our veterans are starving and homeless, we should be focusing on them not the illegals!

Only time I see an illegal immigrant flash an American flag is when they are going to benefit from it, most of the time they are flashing a Mexican flag. I think we could spend the money on continuous RQ-9 sorties over the Mexican America boarder, loaded to the gills with Hellfire's.

Let me start by saying I firmly believe in national sovereignty and our right to maintain our border security. Next, we basically have invited them in to do the manual labor our citizens won't do. The issue is we must separate the reasons for coming here. It really irritates me to see Mexican flags displayed at protests, but we don't know the status of those waving them. Illegal aliens are those from a variety of countries, Mexico and South of Mexico, not to leave out VISA overstays from around the world. Also, the 14th amendment is settled law. Enforce our laws and develop a quality guest worker program, problem solved. If you can identify drug smugglers, I'm good with the drones.

I think that illegal aliens should get NOTHING on the public dime - no food stamps, no use of the emergency room, no drivers licenses, no school or free lunches for their kids, - NOTHING except maybe a free ride (with a warning) back to their country of origin. I also don't believe that anchor babies begotten of illegal aliens should be automatic citizens - when their parents are deported, the kid shouldn't be separated from them. In my area (which is quite liberal about illegal aliens) I drive by shopping centers and see hundreds of these guys standing around waiting for somebody to drive up and hire them for the day. They get paid under the table in cash (probably less than minimum wage) upon which they pay no tax. Meanwhile, young people who are U.S. citizens (high school kids and high school grads) who are looking for jobs can't find any because they are taken up by illegal parasites. I believe that anybody that knowlingly hires an illegal undocumented alien should get dinged with a big fine for each violation. My belief is if illegal aliens can't find work and can't get social benefits for themselves or their families, they'll leave. It sounds hard, I know, but I think it's the only way the U.S. is going to be rid of this problem. There are lots of people who want to get into this country and who are willing to do it legally (like my French son-in-law) that would add a lot of value to the U.S. We don't need illegal aliens.

CPL Mara Bourque - Actually the sad thing is I only see middle aged illegal immigrants at home depot. Where do you see teenagers, its not home depot? The teenagers don't have anything to do anymore which is why gangs continue to grow. All the middle aged undocumented immigrants have taken all the jobs that teenagers should be doing.

I have already responded to the original question. SSgt. Tilton has posted about service members(?) who are not citizens are being deported! When I was in both the USMC and the Submarine Service, an enlistee HAD to be a citizen! When did illegals get allowed to enlist. They have no allegiance to this country.

You really don't understand the laws, do you? I'm citing the existing laws, not what I do or do not favor. And yes, terrorists caught in the USA receive due process.

MCPO Roger Collins - You really did miss the point! The war on terror, Islamic and other forms is just that a WAR!! Not a criminal investigation. you want to burden the American public with giving terrorists free room and board, medical care and Xboxes!

No, I just cited the law, don't like it fix it. Opinions such as you are stating are meaningless. And your reading comprehension seems to be flawed, based on this response.

It used to be that a immigrants would have to have a sponsor who would help them get settled, find a place for them and make sure that they were not a drain on society . Now the government does that for illegal immigrants.
