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. We have too many legal Americans who could use this assistance. We also have many Americans who are too proud or do not know how to go through the red tape to receive any assistance that they may be eligible for. Veterans are a part of this group. many of us when we leave the military are never told about the VA and the many programs that it has in place to provide services of Veterans.

What is sad is people here probably have no idea that white Americans that most likely vote republican make up the majority of people receiving welfare

They do not already. To say they do or pass along that they do is ignorant on anyone’s part. Even those labeled dreamers from DACA are not qualify for what you are asking. Even those that say dreamers have been granted citizens or status are ignorant. The people that are in DACA have gained no status. They only thing that has changed is the priority of deportation level.

NEVER. They also should not be receiving a free education. I taught in a school district that is low income to begin with. We had between 2000-4000 illegals in the school district. The numbers depended on who you talked to. When the average school received approximately $7500 in Federal and State subsidies for each student you can see that certain districts lose out on a lot of money. What I forgot to say, Illegals are educated but school districts do not receive and Federal or State money to teach or give them free breakfasts and lunches.
