This is going to be in the naive category but may I ask:

Why do illegals who broke our immigration laws and are currently, this moment, here illegally, Why are they eligible for any welfare, food stamps, SS, disability, free medical, low income housing. Why? They're not American Citizens. Am I missing something here? ?

If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above?

They use fake identities and SSN’s.

“If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above?”

I assume that that question is rhetorical. Of course, unless you are filthy rich you cannot even get a job in Mexico. That is the law. Therefore, you would be deported forthwith.

Some of them (not from Mexico) claim to be refugees which makes them eligible for a whole bunch of “freebies” immediately. It’s a crock.

“If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above? “

If you illegally emigrated to Mexico and asked for “all of the above”, you’d probably get basic food, water, shelter, and clothing in the form of a jail sentence (2 years I think).

Illegal immigrants are not eligible. That’s why they start popping out kids here. The kids are all eligible and the illegal parents get the bet cards. If just one person in a family of illegals is legal they’re eligible for section 8. An American born baby is their bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Legal immigrants sign papers saying they will not use public assistance. Since the different counties across the nation disburse the welfare the immigrants are not held to it. Some of the legal immigrants have sponsors that the paperwork says they will support them for five years. They’re not held to it either. If they’re legal the counties sign them up.
Refugees are a special breed they get instant, legal welfare for up to 7 years supposedly. I’m sure just like all the other requirements they’re not held to the 7 years.
I was an eligibility worker for food stamps and MediCal in another life.

Especially when a criteria for entry is promising to not be a burden on the state.
