My Colombian nephew is here living with family members, he was born here. His parents went back to Colombia and he plans to send for his mom when he's 21.

Since I work at DHS, I know for a fact that illegal immigrants cannot get welfare for themselves. At most they can get MA (medic-aid) when they're pregnant.
