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, hell no. They have commited a crime simply by being here. Criminals should not have any rights.

Well, I don't believe criminals should have zero rights. Some need to be suspended for sure and others need to be carefully administered.

No they should not be allowed to it. (1) these are programs that tax paying Americans pay into and at some point may use. IF they want to become legal citizens then allow them to join the millitary. or get proper citizenship through normal chanels. (2) these programs have a finite amout of funding per capita thus more people using OR abusing the system the less for those who do thing currectly and need it. (3) I may be wrong but I believe President Lincoln said (paraphasing) that any nation that can not control its boarders is bound to collapse under the weight of immigration. what would happen if an American tried to go to ANY country illegally they would be jailed and kicked out but when it is America doing it they set a double standard ... I say Bull

Of course not. It is meant for citizens who are unable to earn a living, due to disability or temporary problems. It seems it has become a major draw for illegals to come here & live off working taxpayers. They have no "right" to anything except an escort out of the country.

The term, "illegal" says it all. However, if that offends, then try "undocumented political activists". Regardless, the Constitution repeatedly refers to CITIZENS, as in CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. I may have missed something when reading it...saw no reference to aliens being entitled to tax-payer supported programs. ESPECIALLY when Military Members, their families and Veterans are not eligible for the same programs.

Absolutely not! I cannot go to Mexico or any 3rd world country in South America and start getting welfare. Any kids born to me while there are not automatic citizens either. END ANCHOR BABIES!
