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

Hello no

SSG(P) (Join to see) The term Illegal says it all. NO!

It always gets me how the word illegal, is so had to understand! If someone is breaking the laws in America, then no, hell no, no way should they be allowed to receive any kind of welfare or public assistance. Unless, you considered a jail/detaining facility used for ILLEGALs until they are deported a form of welfare. I would support a law that made any ILLEGAL that has committed a crime in the US and was deported and illegally returns to the USA eligible for the Federal death penalty with NO appeals and to be executed within one week of sentencing. That would help slow down illegals with criminal records coming into the USA.

Hell no! What part of ILLEGAL don't people get? What about veterans ,the elderly, and other poor Americans?

Only after they have served a 6 yr. hitch in a branch of our military!

Not only No, but HELL NO!!!!!!. If the person is not even willing or able to become and do the necessary things to become a LEGAL citizen then they should get NOTHING in the way of free help from our Government. Why should I as a legal citizen pay some of my tax dollars to help them?

It's the same thing with all these people fleeing other countries. THEY should not get cent one either. I realize that they are fleeing all the violence of their countries, but there needs to be some priority when it comes to who gets help first, and "I" as a vet. believe that we should be first in the line.

We as VETERANS should get first dibs when it comes to the assistance of any kind, after all, WE were the ones that fought for all the freedoms that the rest of the country's citizens take for granted.

NO!!!

No Illegal Immigrant should be qualified to receive or should receive any public assistance benefit of any kind. Any government official of any city, county, state, or other political entity who pays, or authorizes payment to, an illegal immigrant should be guilty of a Federal felony crime, and should be tried and if convicted imprisoned and fined.

Agree. NO! Also, I want ID's mandatory to be shown at elections & 1 person:1 vote. None of these multiple state voting.

Read the requirements for SNAP (food stamps) and TANF ("welfare") and you'll learn that it is already illegal for undocumented immigrants to receive assistance from these programs except in emergency situations - and being here illegally without a job is not an emergency by their definition. Pisses me off how many people don't bother to look that up with a 5 second google search, but prattle on with bad information that either they, or someone they know, made up.
