Maybe I'm missing something-how do you get welfare if you're not a citizen?
There are many forms of welfare. For example, getting treated in a hospital if you get sick or injured and have no money to pay for it. Who do you think pays for it? The hospital doesn't do it for free. SOMEBODY pays for it somewhere. It's called the taxpayer.
Public schools are another example. They are paid for and run on taxpayer dollars. Yet nothing stops illegals from sending their kids to them and getting on low cost of free school lunch programs.
"Welfare" comes in many forms. Not just a check in the mailbox.
I guess it's safe to say you are not aware that schools are businesses and are paid PER head of attendance. That's why schools care so much when kids ditch. That's why they were afraid of all the students planning protests on Protest America day. That's why there were shcools in San Diego, CA a few years ago busing in kids from across the border so they could fill seats. You think the immigrants are taking advantage of the schooling system. I think it goes both ways.
