"Let me ask you this, when my Irish, Welsh, and English ancestors came to America were they eligible for welfare?"

Well actually, no one was.

We, however, were just stupid enough to start paying for people not to be responsible for themselves.

So, while I understand your argument, I think that it points more towards something that we are doing wrong, rather than something that immigrants are doing wrong.

Immigrants still come for a chance at a better life, we are the ones GIVING them the $$$, if we stopped, they would still come.

That's the way it has always been.

The immigrants haven't changed, we as a nation have.

Most of the Mexicans that come over the border today wouldn't be here if it weren't for those programs. The one's that still did wouldn't be resented as much for raising everyone elses taxes, car and medical insurance premiums, costing schools extra expenses, and overrunning the Southwestern US.
