This is just stupid. If these immigrants cannot support themselves once here they should not be allowed in, regardless of their execuses.
Right! It is
not up to the "illegal immigrants" who decide to come here - for the sole purpose to collect off the American taxpayers. It is also
not up to the US Government to supply them with government assistance. Especially those "enablers" who rather sit around and collect welfare/food stamps; so they don't have to ever work.
If they come here, and they want to work; that is one thing. But when they are able-bodied, they should be working. Work a few months to start - while on the welfare, that is fine. But let them know they will be shut off if they don't find work, or they are just wanting to live off the system.
