Honestly, given how much hate there is in this country, why anyone would want to become a citizen of it is beyond me.. Welfare. illegal immigrants dont qualify for welfare.. that doesn't stop some, if not many from getting it on their children's behalf: quote:
Illegal immigrants get little in the way of welfare or other taxpayer-funded largesse, according to Kirsten Powers... POWERS: Geraldo, it is a complete and utter myth that illegal immigrants come and get welfare. You cannot get welfare unless you are an American citizen. POWERS: They can't get food stamps, they can't do any of the things that people keep saying that they're doing. You can't get government benefits unless you are an American citizen -- period, end of story. I mean, it's just, that's the way it works. [but...] Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their America-born anchor babies. Basically, the majority of households across the country benefiting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal [no differentiation unfortunately]. The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid). Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship. http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/jack-coleman/2012/08/24/kirsten-powers-complete-and-utter-myth-illegal-aliens-receive-welfare-
