If you are illegal and have a child on the soil of this country, your child will automatically be a citizen (a birthright citizen), and you as their guardian are able to apply and receive public assistance on all levels for that child.
well technically - they are not illegals getting aid...they are natural born citizens getting aid - just like you could if you were poor.
i am glad we are a country that other people want to flee their country to come to. i see nothing wrong with being a bastion of hope for the world.
we should take care of our people - and our people will take care of us. everything is built generation by generation.
