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

No, NEVER

Absolutely NOT. They should be deported. They are entitled to NOTHING.

No, since they are illegal, they should only be entitled to the services offered to tourists and they need to be arrested and deported ASAP

Considering the fact that we as "Americans" were once illegal immigrants my answer is still NO!!! A vast majority of the time II's will come here to have a child to avoid the legal system of proper entry into a country. Now were inundated with the "Dreamers" problem. I have a solution for that. Deport them all. Your parents came here "ILLEGALLY" which means your so called American citizenship in null and void. You are a product of illegal entry. We have dreamers here already and they are called our children. We have a huge population of immigrants who chose the right path to immigration and are now proud productive citizens. I applaud them for going about the process the right way. Even we as Americans can't just go to a country and start a new life, we have to go through the proper channels. I sympathize with the problem immigrants face in some of these countries but to just disregard the law is just wrong and unacceptable. All of my immigrant friends are hear legally and even they frown on those who bypass the system.

The only thing an illegal alien should be using is a cot in a cell before being thrown out of the USA.

When they come in legally, learn to speak English and pass their citizenship exam within 5 years they should be entitled, other than that they should be deported!

I don’t think so.

I feel all people of this country regardless of their citizenship should be allowed to utilized public assistance BUT for a very limited time. Public assistance should have a limit of a week, weeks, or limited amount of months. It should be capped at a certain amount of months, and one can only use it a certain amount of times within their lifetime. Public assistance should only be utilized as an emergency not as a benefit, or reliance. Additionally, it should be based on a point system, such as if you work a month, you get a credit of one day of assistance after a year of work you have a credit of 12 days if you ever need it. If you don't work you don't rate anything.

No, a resounding NO! If they are here under the former DACA program, they need to be working on getting their citizenship, I mean, seriously working towards citizenship, not in the street protesting the leadership of this country for taking away from them. If an illegal is working on their citizenship and is able to prove they are making forward progress on that goal, I would consider letting them get some benefits. NOT CASH BENEFITS, but food and medical.

You mean like someone serving in the military? or former Military? Police force? Teacher ? former professional? That kind of illegal? or another kind?
