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

No

It is a common misperception that they do now. Pregnant women can get WIC assistance to help ensure the delivery of a healthy baby because they are pregnant with a US citizen. I know sometimes people think they see "illegals" using food stamps but the reality is, they are the custodian of the benefits for their minor child, a US citizen much like when an ex-spouse of a military member shops at the commissary on behalf of the active-duty member's minor child. AND I know that brown people are easy to target because we can tell who they are, there are thousands of illegal white people here too--we just tend not to demonize them because we don't know who they are. Japanese were demonized furing WWII because we knew who they were while sympathetic Germans flew under the radar. The illegal problem would be solved a lot faster if people didn't hire them but (speaking now primarily of Mexicans) who would do that sort of work they do AND having recently lived in a farming area saw many of the same people who were so adamantly opposed to them, couldn't run their farms without them. To get Americans to do farm labor, the work would have to be improved from both a safety and economic standpoint--preferably union labor and GOOD wages and benefits. And we would have to learn to pay more for food. No American is going to take the "deal" that the Mexicans get which is why we have relatively cheap food in the US. Illegal immigration is at an all-time low and I have seen crops rotting on trees and in the fields for lack ot harvest employees.

Nope. Think of this. Many of these "dreamers" have been here for 15-20 years. Why haven't any of them applied for legal citizenship?

What part of ILLEGAL don't we understand???

Complicated issue. It’s the age old question “sins of the father.” The real issue is fix the system. Many vets are in this dilemma. We need to find a way to citizenship for those who qualify.

Absolutely NOT! They want this, then become a citizen

Aw HELL NO!!! It's difficult for many LEGAL Americans and LEGAL Immigrants to get the aide they need and these Liberals want to just give illegals everything just because. Screw that. How about giving to Americans first and not give to any illegals until homelessness and hunger is almost eradicated here.

No one who is here ILLEGALLY (against the law) should receive any benefits. If you live here legally, learn English, and become a citizen just as all of our ancestors from Europe did. Don't expect us to learn your language or print materials in your language or give you benefits if you are not a citizen. Only the Dreamers who are living according to the law should be able to become citizens. If they have a conviction in addition to being here illegally, there should not be a path to citizenship.
