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

My brother-in-arms, what's got to do with military topic about this question?

This is one of those questions that I wish would go away. Because of misinformation and not know the system, this is always brought up. I work in the Welfare system. I am an Eligibility Supervisor and have been for @ 15 years. Undocs, as we call them have never been eligible to services. The only services Undocs are eligible to are emergency medical services. This question in the political arena has always been brought up to fire people up, when the truth is they are not and do not receive any kind of services and never will. This is one question that I wish would die and that those that bring it up would check the facts first.

NO!

NO, NUFF SAID

NO. NUFF SAID

Absolutely...NOT. Legal refugees,sure. Legal immigrants, why not. Political asylum seekers, maybe.

No, not at all. they are criminals.

Negative, it comes out of our tax dollars from the government for struggling citizens. I do not believe they should be able to collect any type of assistance like that. I do however believe that they should be given the opportunity to become citizens in this country if they have a clean record. If they in turn do not want to become citizens then at that time they should be deported. It is a topic of heavy debate, if of such a legal age (old enough or young enough) to earn their citizenship they could serve in the military, upon an honorable discharge or a successful re-enlistment they would become citizens. Something that might be able to be earned for a family member who is outside that parameter but otherwise would qualify to become a citizen. They are here, we are not going to deport millions of illegal aliens or undocumented workers but we sure could legalize them, start collecting those taxes and grow like we used to at the last turn of the century.

Absolutely not and I think it's an afront to the American people that we allow our corrupt system of government to just piddle our tax dollars away like this! And it's not just Mexicans I'm talking about, I'm talking about those from Latin America, Somalia, all muslim countries, etc, that are automatically put on our welfare rolls when entering this country either illegally or "invited" in as refugees but then refusing to assimilate.

No, not at all! They should all be sent back to the country in which they came from!
