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.

Absolutely not. The money spent on them could be spent on vets who are homeless.

I didn't see ANYONE who answered YES... So just HOW do those that support such nonsense get elected, hired or whatever?

I used to see this all the time when I worked for the elections board in my county. A lot of it is party politics. People that will vote for their candidate regardless of what platform their candidate supports. Another chunk is one-issue voters that are only interested in one item like defense or gay marriage and thats the only chunk they push for. A last item is laziness. People vote for their person in 2016 and then don't want to think about that person again until 2020.

True, but my real point is that at least half of the voters are probably idiots and that is a hard thing for me to accept though I have to believe it!

Careful there, SFC. I found that the idiots take offense at being called idiots. And I even said, it it were applicable to them, so the natural assumption was.....

Anyone that didn't get here legally, shouldn't benefit from anything here. If l can get into an NFL game "illegally", then should I still be allowed to watch the game until it"s over? If I steal a car and get away with it, do I get to keep it? Of course not. You get legal, then you get benefits. What's so hard about that?

I work for the ACA, they do not get handouts. In addition all information is checked against the DoHS, IRS and other "federal agencies". So from atleast the Affordable care method of "handouts", it doesn't seem to happen and can be quite contradictory if they did.
I agree with the others, come here legally, pay in and get benefits like we do. Not a free meal ticket.

Yes if they contribute more than they take; on the other hand, all people must be waned off welfare after a couple of years, including free loader Americans; people must work to eat; or go hungry if they are lazy, fully able to work but choose to steal from hard working tax payers.

Sadly thats a horse of a different color. There are limits to unemployment compensation and food stamps, but sadly, welfare has no limits. And neither side (dem or rep) wishes to "fix" that. And then to jump on their defense, the same politician railing loudly that welfare has to have limits, is the same guy allowing jobs to be outsourced in droves. Can't eliminate jobs then complain that theres too many people on gov assistance.

Our welfare and public assistance systems are meant for our citizens not illegal immigrants. The welfare and public assistance programs are not fraud free and I believe that some Americans are denied assistance for which they qualify but when we provide these services to illegal immigrants it is less money that is available for our own citizens.
