Plummz,
I've posted multiple times on this issue.
ILLEGAL immigrants in the state of Washington are CURRENTLY eligible for every welfare program that Rand Paul claims he will stop AFTER Amnesty!
In Washington state no one is required to show proof of legal residence for Food Stamps, for heating assistance, for subsidized rent, for AFDC, for the Earned Income Tax Credit, for pregnant women care, for child Medicaid - there are more, but I always forget some.
This tells me one of three things about Rand Paul:
(1) He doesn't know that illegals already get this welfare.
(2) Or, he thinks illegals will sign up for Amnesty and voluntarily give up the welfare rights they currently have.
(3) Or, he thinks the same Congress that gave welfare rights to illegals will now take those rights away when they become legal.
My guess - Rand Paul, and most Americans, have no idea that illegals already get welfare.
Bad guess. Sen. Paul’s plan is designed explicitly to get aliens off of welfare and voting rolls; and he has said as much.
