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.

I think that as long as they are making a conscious effort to legally (even after being illegals) gain citizenship then they should be given a fair chance and be shown exactly what makes America the melting pot it is. If they are legitimately trying to become a citizen them they can gain benefits, but if their process stops then benefits can, not, should be revoked. As an incentive.

Excuse me but DON'T GET ME STARTED - on this "issue of welfare" and/or the photo opportunities of the elite who run our nation and their "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS" agenda. Under Obama/Biden and their "same sex partners" the ra ra ra of support the active duty and their families was that some "showcase" for the patriots? I question is this LEFT or RIGHT policy making? On http://www.military.com MAY 24, 2017 I read "Proposed food stamp cuts would hit military families." S.N.A.P. *http://www.fns.usda.gov (get involved) Is this all tied to "under the new administration", controlled by conservatives (GOP)? "When active duty service members struggle to feed their families." April 19, 2017 *http://www.npr.org I read E-4 rank earn $2.046.00 monthly under the Pentagon pay scale. 7% of ACTIVE duty families said they faced food "insecurity". I also read Basic Allowance for HOUSING is counted as income and pushes them into an income bracket too high to receive "food SECURITY aid". Excuse me President elect Trump, are you going to build that border security wall? 80,000 AMERICAN service families nationwide face food insecurity! Should "illegals" qualify for "safety nets" I ask American Homefront Project? Frankly I have ground zero trust in either "administration", their legislation, or THEIR never ending BUDGET crisis.

A person who enters the country illegally and takes funds from our coffers is no different than a mugging.

I don'd agree with it, but I live in a state with people who voted to give the store away. Taxes and living standards suffer because more people abuse the system that was to be a safety net. Vote or move out of the state that allows misuse of your tax dollars.

Absolutely not they don't get to come here not pay taxes and be entitled to government welfare or aid except in terms of them getting their citizenship.

I live in California. This state already has attorneys on retainer to protect the illegals "rights"!
I have always voted in California, even since the Franchise Tax Board of CA sent the first piece of mail I received after my discharge in 1956. It was a notice of State Income Tax Due!

Absolutely not. Under no circumstances, should illegal immigrants be allowed to collect public assistance like welfare, food stamps, or medicare. And having a child on our soil by illegal immigrants should NOT be an exception. We should do like most other countries on this planet--When a child is born on our soil, they must leave when the immigrants leave, not be a anchor to keep the family here. When that child turns 18, in their parent's home country, they should have a choice of whether to be a US citizen or a citizen on their parent's country. That is exactly how it worked for a good friend of mine who was born on German soil. His parents left when they were supposed to and my friend, a minor, had to come with them, and when he turned 18, he was given a choice as to which country he wanted to be a citizen of. It was a once in a lifetime decision, set in concrete. No benefits for illegals at all.
