Most of this is from an old email.
Some is true, some isn't.
Snopes has some of the facts. This was true:
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare
Although illegal aliens are not generally eligible to collect public welfare benefits, an illegal alien may receive benefits under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Food Stamps programs on behalf of his or her U.S. citizen child. (Any child born in the United States is considered a U.S. citizen, regardless of the parents' immigration status.) A 1997 General Accounting Office (GAO) report determined that in 1995 households headed by illegal aliens received a total of $700 million in AFDC benefits and $430 million in Food Stamps.
If they were getting OVER 1.1 BILLION over 10 YEARS AGO, can you imagine how much money they get now?!!!???!!!

It makes no nevermind that they’re illegal anyway, they just get false documentation to receive benefits to which they’re not entitled.
