"Which law are you talking about. Federal law prohibits even legal immigrants from receiving any type welfare until they've been here for five years except WIC. You know why WIC is the exception? Because the children are American citizens, just as much as you and me."

Free school, free health care, the right to sue and use the services of a civil court and win judgments, all level of government service (police, fire, etc.) to which most do not contribute via payroll and/or property taxation, free court appointed attorneys and translators, workers' compensation awards (which includes temporary wage benefits, 100% covered medical expenses and a cash award for permenant injury)- to name a few.

"These children are the future of America. They are helping to replace some of the forty million Americans who have been aborted since Roe V. Wade. They will be funding your Social Security, fighting your wars to keep you free, and driving the economic engine that will provide jobs for your children and grandchildren."

Most do not pay taxes.

"Do you support the U.S. Constitution? All people born in America are American citizens and enjoy the same right and privileges as all other citizens."

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF. Read the section entitled "Fourteenth Amendment Debate: http://www.numbersusa.com/interests/birthrightcitizenship.htm

"Your opposition to American children being allowed to attend public schools just because their parents are immigrants is abhorrent to everything conservatives and patriotic Americans stand for."

American children? See above.

For you to want to deny these American children an education, basic health care, minimum nutrition and the same safety nets that your children have is unconscionable.

BooHoo. You pay for it.

I read your link. The first sentence states:

"The United States currently grants automatic U.S. citizenship to almost all children born in the United States, regardless of whether the parents are U.S. citizens, legal residents, temporary visitors, or illegal aliens ..."

That's the law. Your strange spin of the universally accepted meaning of our Constitution is typical of the Antis.

These children are Americans. Anyone who wants American children to grow up uneducated is neither conservative nor patriotic.
