How does a illegal alien get benefits from the US gov.?

Question

Greetings, thanks for taking time to read my question. I'm in a debate over how does the illegal achieve a identification with a state and federal government and get benefits while being illegal. I'm not trying to make a statement, I simply don't know how it is possible. Thanks again.

Answer 1

When a child is born, they get a Social Security Number shortly after that point.  In some states, that SS Number is with held unless the parents can prove they are citizens.  To many are not however, and at that point, that SS Number can be stolen and used until that child goes to work.  Walla.. and excellent fake I.D. that cannot be detected for many years.  That also makes them eligible to several types of citizens welfare programs.

When someone dies, they generally do not report that to the Social Security Office if that person has not been collecting Social Security.  You can use that Social Security Number to enable welfare at the State and Federal level.

When someone asks for a cost of energy reduction, the application is taken and checked, and not necessarily checked in Washington.

WIC's, (Women without Children) is available to any mother who shows up at the welfare office.  Frequently, the illegal aliens borrow a couple of kids and brings them in, and they receive that welfare souly based on the number of children they have.

There are State welfare programs, particularly in California, that have nothing to do with the Federal Government, and do have everything to do with a valid state drivers license.

I have not spent much time looking at that issue because until the Federal Government does that, and publishes those findings, we won't know all the way the illegal aliens have broken into the welfare system.  I would expect to win the lottery several times before the Federal Government tells us the truth on that issue, but if we happen to elect a write in canidate such as Lou Dobbs, it would be Katie bar the door..

I had better go... I have started drooling and laughing uncontrollably.

Answer 2

They do not receive nearly as much as the grand standers would have you believe, the welfare reform act in 1996 saw to that and it also let the IRS give illegal aliens a "ITIN" number to use in place of a SS number for paying taxes on their earnings, and their employer also matches their FICA withholding (about 8 million pay taxes..)

They are not eligible to collect the benefits they pay into SS as we are even though they give a substantial amount, we will get that money as SS,SSDI,SSI and so on...

Wow 4 thumbs down for me, ? lol

Call the congressman "you people" voted into office that made the laws.......DUH!

Call the President (yes you can call the Whitehouse)  you voted into office , tell him to quit "securing two countries" on the other side of the world and secure our 700 mile border.......

"IF" you think the government wants it closed, wake up......The IRS knows where 8 million of them work and who their employers are, the powers that be don't want them out, just a few to make it look like their trying and be politically correct....

Most of you all are in a fog and brainwashed......

Answer 3

Just living in the USA without our approval is a benefit

Answer 4

Human rights. We are obliged to help any human being in dire need. That means if an illegal immigrant applies for medicade they can get it.

Wanna know who pays for that? Well you should know cuz you do. Aint the system just great!

Answer 5

Very easy, they steal someone elses identity, they forge documents and continue the path of breaking the law.

Answer 6

i don't know how they do it.  i think they make them feel sorry for them so they can get it.  it's not about human rights, they are not part of this country legally!

we have to do everything legally and securely so why dont they

Answer 7

It all depends on the size and quality of their space ship...

Answer 8

Become legal.  Then beome a citizen.  Simple as that.

Answer 9

For one if they come here and have children,their children qualify and the illegal parents collect.

For two, a lot of states still allow people with no proof of citizenship to collect.

Answer 10

Go to jail, prison, school or a hospital! It costs almost 40k a year to incarcerate someone!  Hospitals are obligated to give them emergency care which the government reemburses them for!  We have ESL classes in school which are mostly full of illegals!

It's a joke!

Answer 11

And Financial Institution's like Bank of America gives them loans when they have an ITIN# and charges them outrageous

int-rest.......Now the US government's must be cashing in on that one  ,maybe they should be footing some of it  for benefits....e.g  S.S.shells out food stamps claiming the  money does not come from  Soc.Sec funding. Also it depends on where you are from not all  illegals get benefits.They can get drivers license's and then a summons to serve jury duty.

Answer 12

Most of it is done by them committing another crime which is identity theft. Many use family members who are legals numbers Unfortunately many steal legal hispanics identity, making sure it is a hispanic name. Then you have ones like Bank of America, giving illegals loans etc... they should lose their businesses!!!!
