That’s a good start. Anyone entering the country illegally should be permanently blocked from all welfare, from all paths to citizenship, and from all paths to legal status. Illegals should automatically be fingerprinted and photographed, and unless they file an immediate (30 day time limit) appeal of their classification as illegals should be permanently barred from any benefits or paths to benefits.
But ...but ...but ...if you do this, then NO ONE will even bother to come here! Oh, wait ...
I'm what liberals call "nasty and mean spirited". I think the wealth generated by those born here legally or who immigrate legally should belong to the individuals who generated that wealth. It should not be shared around to criminals and to those too lazy to work by deadbeats and parasites who think they are charitable because they generously give away other people's money.
