Illegal aliens can't get welfare.

Please, do you really think that? How? It's been proven wrong over and over. Read some of the articles, even here on FR. Have an anchor baby, his entire family becomes eligible. Most states won't even ask immigration status. Not PC, you know.

Calipornia's problem at the state level is that they do not allow hospitals, welfare agencies, etc., to ask questions about citizenship.

Compare this to Florida where NO ILLEGAL can get ANY services, other than through non-profits (largely run by the Catholic Church in many cases). It all depends on what state you live in.

Even if the Fed won't get off its a-s on the immigration issue, at least Calipornians could force their legislature to reform their welfare laws. Prop. 187 was a good start, but it was poorly written.
