Politicians will swear these people are coming here to work or get away from their repressive regimes. Truth is, they are coming here for the perks. EBT, section 8, medicaid, etc, while hardworking Americans pay for them to sit and do nothing, or kill us with acts of terrorism.
We just paid for a lavish lifestyle for two muslim terrorists. While these people are using our rights and laws against us, we are losing more money and freedoms.
Agreed!
Further, wrt the following in the article: “Some amnesty proponents are trying to convince themselves that the immigration bill won’t cost much. On the surface, they have some good talking points, noting that “registered provisional immigrants” (the name given to aliens who entered or stayed in the U.S. unlawfully but would get amnesty under the bill) are not eligible for government benefits. Of course that would last only until, at the very latest, they become citizens. (More likely, there will be pressure in future years to speed up both citizenship and eligibility.)
In just a short time, they would be entitled to the same massive array of government programs as everyone else, including expensive retirement income and health programs that are already severely underfunded. The average unlawful immigrant has a 10th grade education, and low-skill immigrants on average take more in government benefits than they pay in taxes at every stage of their lives.”
I haven’t seen anything regarding the children of these undocumented Democrats that have been and/or will be born in the US. The current law makes them American citizens, which makes them eligible for all of the benefits. So, while the illegal aliens might not be elgible for benefits right away, their kids would be.
