Isn’t the point that the entitlement trough is bad for anyone regardless of race, color, or creed?

True, but at least citizens are legally entitled to be lazy pigs. ;(

In most states, illegals are not eligible for tax-payer funded services - but are given them anyway. I know that social workers in CA and TX are told to not ask anything about citizenship when signing people up for welfare or medicaid. And probably every other free handout that's available.

That's my point. You can tighten up on entitlements across the board without singling out illegals. Reduce entitlements, tighten up on employers, and the illegals who are in it for free stuff will self-deport. The ones who remain are the ones that are worth keeping.

Sarah's statements do not indicate that she is unwilling to take any of these steps. It's actually a pretty nuanced statement once you get over the fact that she wasn't advocating chasing Hispanics around with butterfly nets.
