Fair enough, no more riding in the wagon.. I agree, however, I have 4 simple questions..
1) Have you lost your job to an Illegal Alien?

No.

Do you know anyone that has lost their job to a, Mexican, Honduran, an Hispanic, Illegal Alien?

No.

Where did you hear that all of these Illegal Aliens are in fact on welfare?

No one has said "all". But let's be accurate. I said "socialist services". I think a very large percentage use some form of social services, as there's an army of folks out there helping them do it. Are their kids in school? Do they use the emergency room as a clinic? Are their kids born in US hospitals at public expense? Do they live in section 8 housing? And so on.

4) What is the % of Illegal Aliens that are on welfare?

I've seen reports that claimed that 38% were on "welfare". I believe that if you count all social services the number is much higher.

Again, people working here is not the problem. The social services appetite is the problem.

Maybe we need to identify the problem, which is the army of folks helping illegals obtain social services. If we didn't make it so darn easy, those who couldn't find work would pack up and go home. It encourages a migration. Just as San Francisco welcomes the homeless (or used to!) and has all sorts of programs for them, there are homeless from across the country who migrated there.

Don't blame people for using the system . . . change the system.
