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

There's multiple levels to this question. The fact that many working Americans are denied welfare or public assistance is an issue.. But only is so far as prices (for things we need to survive.. rent, homes, food, power, etc.) have been allowed to increase far beyond what's "livable" in the wages of most Americans. For example, a government job GS5, "entry level" job, requires a college degree, and will pay a salary of about $30k. I don't consider that a "living" wage, and that's where working people wind up NEEDING "assistance". SPC Voye, I'd ask, if you weren't able to differ cost of barracks, healthcare, and DIFAC food options, AAFES, etc., how far would E4 pay take you?

Regarding "illegal" immigrants.. America's always had immigrants identified as a problem to the existence of the rest. I'd submit, I don't see a reason why immigrants, should be "illegal" given a country composed almost exclusively by immigrants, ESPECIALLY, when the land they're "immigrating" to, was theirs in the first place.

Lastly, to the best of my knowledge, "illegals" don't have access to welfare of public assistance either. So I'd ask you to provide a link to anything that substantiates that. My logic being, if you have to "register" for assistance, then you have to have documents, if you have "documents", and they're "valid", then they're not "illegal".

Hell no.

I sometimes ask myself why are questions like this even being asked. Is it to just piss people off or are people just that stupid. We have laws for a reason, follow them.

HELL NO! To quote the movie Friday," You didn't put in on this, man."

Hell no but I agree with major Joe Bentley if they do everything to be here legally then let other then that no

The question is heavy on the assumption that welfare should be instituted in the first place.

ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL.

The only assistance Illegals deserve is assistance back over the border. Our country has to take care of needy veterans and and civilians first not people that are citizens of another country. Illegal aliens broke the law as soon a they crossed the border illegally, that makes them criminals, criminals are supposed to be punished NOT rewarded.

The only assistance they should get is assistance back across the border, American veterans and the American poor needs come first as opposed to someone who came to our country illegally by sneaking across the border. Illegals broke the law, they are criminals, criminals get punished NOT rewarded.

My family came to US, worked harder than like everybody else to earn living in US as a LEGAL immigrant. It took us 8 years and cost us a fortune(a lot of money) to become a permenant resident, to receive a piece of plastic card called green card. Within that time period, we weren’t allowed to have or apply for any government subsidies nor medicaid even though my parents paid all the tax that federal/state required, and were paid lowest minium wage at the same time. My point is, it is THAT F-ing hard to be a legal immigrant and earn that piece of plastic green card, at the same I do not want to generalize all the illegals as the same, that make it easier and change the immigration policy to give them a chance to become a legal tax payer and serve this country. Howerver, I do want the government to raise the level of security background check system to filter out bad seeds.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am also against illegal immigration and am opposed to it but I however support giving them a chance so the government can tax them like everybody else.
