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

Went to Mexico (Jurarez) got an exam and before they would even look at me I had to pay them. Yet they come here with their litter of kids or get here to have one and we are now obligated to care for them while they have more. If you can't follow one simple law (enter legally) then how are you gonna follow the rest. How you get here sets the standard for how you will live here. Not long ago a woman hit a valet (hit and run) he was Hispanic and so was she. The caught her on an air plane destine to Mexico. Not unlike the Vikings of old, they come, pillage, plunder then return home with the spoils. I have a resident who has several businesses in Mexico. She is considered well off down their and yet here she lives in Section 8 housing and has never labored a day in her life in the U.S. She lives off her dead husbands SS. So my answer is yea, um OH HELL TO THE NO!!!! You want citizenship serve in the military for 3yrs and then we'll talk....

just want to put this out there - the key word is "illegal" as in breaking our laws - so the answer to this question is no - send them back. no matter how the media tries to change wording "undocumented immigrants" like seriously - call it what it is - illegal.

Not just no, but hell No

The answer to this question in No "illegal" immigrants (technically not immigrants, but aliens) should not get public assistance. Unauthorized immigrants are ineligible for most major federally-funded safety net programs this includes SNAP and welfare. The idea that droves of illegal immigrants are living off welfare / and public assistance has yet to be shown. People that are here illegally, and cannot legally qualify for these programs aren't likely to go to the government and apply for programs, that would bring attention to the fact they are here illegally!! The truth is illegal immigrants are ineligible to collect social security, but many of them are having money deducted from their paycheck that they will never be able to collect (yes they are using for the most part using counterfeit SSI IDs to do this). If illegal aliens are getting jobs here, is it the fault of the Aliens, or shouldn't we go after the people who are illegally employing them and not verifying their status, and paying them sub-standard wages. Yes these people who entered the country illegally don't belong, but I think it's a worse crime that some employers are taking advantage of them being here to pay them less than the prevailing wage.

Not only "No," but HELL NO!!

Absolutely not

Benefits like this should never go to illegals. They should not be here in the first place.

NO! Period.

Not no, but Hell No!

No. A situation that must (for the good of our national economy) be answered objectively.
