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, all because of the fact they are illegal and even if they have children born in the USA they should not be considered US citizens.

The word Illegal says it all. They have no right to even the air they are breathing and even that is theft. And if they get any help of any kind other than a boot on their back side back to their country it is theft. They are ILLEGAL and the people that would help them are committing treason in my eyes since more and more these illegals are committing other crimes and attacking Americans.
The only thing they should get is the boot to a slow boat to the most remote and furthest place from America in THEIR country and dropped off there. Just like one of our former Presidents did.

Illegal, as in they broke the law and in this case have no business being here it would be like giving a drunk driver a beer after being pulled over. You don't reward people who break the law, they are supposed to be punished. So in short... no!

Nope. If they are illegal, it is pretty explicit that they are breaking our laws, ergo the only lawful thing to do is to remove them from our country. It is disconcerting that certain segments of our society are so delusional that they think that re-labeling them "undocumented" implies that there is no legal basis to remediate the situation, e.g. deportation, which is pretty much how the rest of the world enforces its immigration policies.

They are still persons, entitled to equal protection of the laws. It's in the Constitution. Remember that we all swore to uphold the Constitution. As long as they are here, the undocumented are entitled to the same benefits as s citizen or green card holder. That's the law.

MCPO Roger Collins - I did not change my name. I'm just trying to clarify a few things. I'm not sure why your talking about medicaid when the topic and your initial response was about welfare/public assistance. Medicaid is an entitlement not public assistance.

You really need to read this entire thread again, you are attributing the CPT's post to me. We are in violent agreement.

Randy, apparently you will not review the entire string. For the last time, you are mixing up my comments with the CPTs. Everything I posted supported your posts. The transition to Medicaid/education was his, I responded with CMS eligibility saying "undocumenteds" are not eligible. I give up. The CPT must be enjoying our exchange.

MCPO Roger Collins - haha, ok good.... I will admit I've been in a little bit of a hurry today so I may have slipped on who is saying what.... Thanks for the clarification.

No .. First, they should be detained and deported if they entered the country illegally, whether they are on welfare or not. They certainly should not be allowed to get welfare/public assistance.
