Considering all the illegal immigrants in this country, do you think they should be able to use welfare or public assistance considering they aren't citizens and that many working Americans are denied welfare or public assistance.

They only welfare we need to give them is a one way ticket back to where they came from

By law illegal immigrants already cannot use welfare/public assistance. What they do, however, do is to use the assistance that a legal relative that is already a citizen here, has.

There are already laws against that so why bring it up? Only the children born in the US would be eligible for welfare

No way! The keyword here is ILLEGAL. They are not here legally as they either paid a coyote to get here or overstayed their legal visa. In either case they thumbed their nose at our law. It is wrong for them to benefit from their illegal action.

Ugh! The correct answer is...the y DON'T get Welfare...period! The Welfare Reform Act of 1997 strictly prohibits it.

All the hullaballo about Illegals getting Welfare is a fabrication of the Alt-Right created to fire people up.

Most people never bother to verify what they read & see online and just run with it.

That’s a right given to the American citizens and not illegal immigrants that sneak into our country just to get welfare.

Why do people keep asking this question? They indeed cannot use such assistance (with the exception of WIK, because we don't believe in starving children), so the question is moot.
