Is it only me who feels this way??

Question

Why do illegal immigrants have more rights and benefits than the poor working class?

I see them clogging up the welfare offices claiming to be single while their boyfriends or husbands get on buses

to work under the table

they have food stamps money insurance free transportation to go to doctors appointments

and they don't belong here

I also see people who work there butts off and they don't qualify for help with insurance because they have jobs

low paying but jobs none the less

Why is our government set up to reward criminals

and step on those who are struggling to do their best?

Answer 1

and don't forget the cost of providing free public K-12 school to illegals

Answer 2

Undocumented workers do NOT have more rights than American citizens and they don't get welfare.

Why is it people like you worry about welfare moms and "illegal immigrants", but you don't worry about big Corporations who are bilking the American tax payers for BILLIONS of dollars per year? You're aiming at the smallest fish in the barrel.

Why do People Claim Undocumented Citizens are Enjoying Government Benefits While Not Paying Taxes?

Several people have e-mailed asking us if it was true that "illegals were receiving these benefits." They're not.

If you read through the e-mail carefully, you’ll find that it never uses the term "illegal immigrant." Rather, the anonymous author makes careful mention of people who "are not U.S. citizens." That is because it addresses programs available to LEGAL immigrants who entered the country by legal means or have legal permanent resident status. But none of the programs are available to illegal immigrants.

Often ignored by anti-immigration forces is that undocumented workers pay sales taxes and real estate taxes -- directly if they are homeowners, indirectly if they are renters.

Answer 3

Even though I've heard of these things, I don't remember seeing them. But then I'm not out checking them either. However, I do remember seeing someone with food stamps take their groceries and other items out to their new SUV. That was strange.

Answer 4

what amazes me is that it should not even be a debate. they are here ILLEGALLY and need to be deported.

Answer 5

They do receive certain benefits. They do not pay taxes on all things that legal immigrants and citizens pay. I work in an ER and treat many illegal immigrants nightly. When I worked on the border in an ambulance there were countless times I delivered babies to illegal immigrants. Now, with that being said, do I blame them? No. If I were in their shoes I would be doing the same thing. Most are very nice people who are just getting by at getting by. However, as a country I understand that we can not and should not pay for all this. The government is robbing, yes robbing, citizens of their labor earned wages and giving it to someone else. I can not take money from your wallet and give to someone else, so why can the government? Fact is if you ended the social programs that are given to illegal immigrants then the problem would not be a problem at all. And by the way, no fence is going to stop it.

Answer 6

You may thank your PC do-gooders for that, my dear.

Answer 7

Liberals will deny your claims because its their politicians that are defending illegal immigrants. You are right! We need to get the illegals out of our country, they are contributing to our bad economy. Solve this illegal immigrant problem by voting for McCain. Obama will only allow them more welfare that they already don't deserve.

Answer 8

Illegals can't collect welfare, but you might see lots of legal Latinos, or other minorities, in line needing help.  The economy is really bad for the poor and middle-class Americans who have either lost their jobs to "Corporate flight" to countries with cheap labor...or, they have trouble finding a job.  Every day, we are informed about more lay-offs or down-sizing of thousands.  Today, it was the Airline Industry...Yesterday, it was banks! .....The day before, it was the Auto Industry. If the "Government" is rewarding criminals, ask President Bush about that!

Answer 9

Illegal immigrants do not get welfare. Seriously. Fact checking it's a wonderful thing.

Answer 10

Good grief people of course illegals get welfare,they either steal ID's,feak documents,or pop out anchor babies to get a free ride,and yes most Americans are sick of it,thats why the shamnesty bill didnt pass.Democrats see amnesty as a means of collecting voters. Immigrants generally vote as a democratic block. Anything that gets more votes and helps them stay in power is attractive to democrats.

Republicans see amnesty as a means of ensuring cheap labor for business. Or corporations that endorse or sponsor candidates. Its the middle class that has to pay higher taxes to support this invasion.

Answer 11

For the idealistic people who don't believe illegals receive benefits and entitlements - there may well be one using your Social Security number right now to provide "proper" identification to be eligible for benefits.

They are using our hospital emergency rooms for primary care, our public schools for their education, our ID's for verification and when and if they get caught in a serious criminal activity - our prisons for room and board.

No, you are not alone in the way you feel.

Answer 12

No my Darling you are not the only one who See's red when I'm shopping and Mexicans,Bosnians,Serbs,,etc,etc, roll by me with their Two and sometimes three Shopping carts running over with Groceries and look at me as if I am a piece of sh-- on the bottom of their shoe, me with my meager little bit of food that I can barely afford! And to top that off,once they push their ill gotten gain outside,they begin to load it into new SUV's,while I stick my little dab into an old 89 Honda! Same thing at our local Hospitals,Americans Black & White wait an enormous time for service because the ER.is over-run with these same bunch of illegals! That's why I will cast my vote for John McCain,because of Obama's open House Liberal attitude for these illegals!
