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

No. I am a Christian man and want to help others BUT to help someone commit illegal acts is to enable them to do more. There are too many people who come here legally that need help themselves.

This is a slippery slope. On the public Health side, we can prevent diseases and lower overall health costs with preventive medicine. The flip side is the more you give the more will come to take.

Absolutely not !! These are taxpayer funded assistance programs for citizens of the United States, not for criminal illegal aliens who have came into this country secretly and illegally !! NO !!!!

Absolutely Not!

No and let me explain why I'm an army and police veteran and when I was first wounded I went to try to get public assistance and was denied! While I was there I had people they could not speak English come in and was able to get assistance I have never been so mad in all my life! I have since gotten my veterans benefits and police benefits but when I think back on it it's still upsetting

Absolutely!
As soon as they apply, detain and deport them.

I think their condition should be treated till they can travel and then escorted out of the USA

NO, I do not. As far as I'm concerned they should receive NO benefits at all. They haven't earned them and should instead be deported as soon as they are discovered. If they enter LEGALLY and work to earn the benefits, then I have no problem with it but not if they are here illegally.

Absolutely not!

The key word in this phrase is "Illegal." They should not receive welfare. After receiving free medical care at an ER, they should be deported.
