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

I knew a man who felt he had the answer to the anchor babies, deport the illegal alien parent, and present them with a choice, since their parental rights still hold, of taking their American born child with them, leaving the child with a relative who is here legally or putting the child up for adoption. That's the choice his mother was given, he grew up in Guatemala and when he turned 18, he returned to the US.

Here is a quick answer: NO! I'll even go one better: if a LEGAL immigrant comes here and can't/won't/doesn't find a job and take care of themselves and their families, they should be sent back to what ever.... hole they came from!

No. In addition to the valid previous responses, providing entitlements and benefits of citizens to non-citizens undermines the entire legal immigration process. Given the lack of voter ID laws, it also introduces ambiguity into our election processes.

With regard to illegal aliens, the only thing my tax dollars should pay for is emergency medical care and a swift deportation. Note that includes clarifying the 14th Amendment IAW the intent of the drafter of the original bill & its sponsors and remove the "anchor baby" interpretation of birthright citizenship.

No. Deport them, it is cheaper.

No. Illegals should get nothing.

It is an absurd question. Illegal doesn’t mean cross the border, demand to live like royalty and at the same time, push Americans around like were the third world misfits.

Without doubt NO. They came here by disregarding the laws of the USA and now want to benefit from their violation of the law. It makes no sense to reward them rather send them back and let them come in legally

Only food while in jail for being here illegally.

No. If they are here illegally, they should not receive any help. I know it sounds hard, but they are getting a heck of a lot of help, when he homeless deserve the help more.

Growing up on the border, I saw it every day. A friend of mine had a grandmother that had cancer and lived across the boarder. They snuck her across and took her to the hospital. WE the US paid for all her cancer treatments, hospital stay and all her drugs. When they discharged her she went home to Mexico. THAT'S wrong! Hell NO!
