Perhaps some of the kids were born here, do they qualify then?

I wouldn’t be shocked at all to find that illegals were getting welfare they aren’t legally entitled to.

Most of the items of this list are false. Change the word “qualify” to “does not qualify” in all of those statements. Just do a little research (call your local public assistance office) and find the truth. Illegal immigrants do not qualify for section 8, food stamps or assistance with energy bills.

If the amount of free benefits illegals get is considered …

The phrase “cheap labor” is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as “cheap labor.”

Absolutely, Rob. Some of us have known this for quite a while. The truth is, there is nothing so expensive as “cheap labor”. Almost every honest employer knows this. It is really just a way to avoid modernization. Those who refuse to recognize and stop the invasion are supporting economic slavery, whether they know it or not. Ignorance is no excuse.

Unless they get phony documents; it’s quite popular to do this among the invaders.

It is cheap labor for their (the illegals) employers for we foot the bill that you have quoted: “He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.”

Roma tomatoes are $1.25/lb
I like them better because the don’t have that tough skin that many others have.

Also, tomatoes are often machine picked (which is pretty cool to see).

Lettuce, OTOH…

This sounds more like the liberal argument that they have somehow overlooked. Because liberal social programs benefit illegal immigrants we should halt illegal immigration?

How about we should halt social programs for redistributing hard earned taxpayer money? How about we should halt illegal immigration because it is illegal?

I dislike illegal immigration no less than wealth redistribution and the one is not justification to oppose the other. Two wrongs do not make one right.
