Why do we reward illegal immigrants with being able to participate in our health & welfare programs?

Answer 1

I hope we don't for illegals.

Answer 2

first of all America is built off of immigrants being legal or illegal. when Americans venture to other people's countries and they stay illegally do other people government have hissy fit. if they do America would jump down their throats and bring up something.
allowing immigrants on the hole to participate in our health and welfare programs is that we would love to educate all about health issues and immunize everyone so there won't be a health epidemic

Answer 3

I don't know but they come over here knowing damn well they can get some type of crappy job and then say well we can't make enough money to feed our families, then the government says oh I'm sorry here take this check every month and feed your family, take this free medicaid card and get free medical attention for your family, take this food card and go to the grocery store and buy your family food. Then they turn around and send all their money back to Mexico to their other families over there. I used to work at a place that had more than 50 percent Mexicans working there, their social security numbers when checked through the social security office would come back as belonging to dead children, dead uncles, dead fathers, so tell me, if they were interested in becoming an American citizen why are they trying to pull a fast one on the U.S.A.? And getting away with it. Also while I was there one of them even drugged and raped a girl and left and went back to Mexico. Oh yea we need people like that in this country. I say send them all back.. or since all the Mexicans are in America lets all move to their country and take over. How about that? I bet we wouldn't get the same treatment over there that we give them here. But you let some mother who can't find a job or who has a job that doesn't pay enough for her to have insurance for her and the babies go and try to get some type of assistance from the government and she is turned away. Yea thats America for you. This is a wonderful country to be in but take care of the American people before you start giving free handout's to people who shouldn't be here in the first place.

Answer 4

We don't really reward them. But you could make the argument that since they do fill in the void caused by a lack of interest by Americans for jobs that no one would want to do, that we should give them a little something for their labor.

Naturally not all illegal immigrants work, and a vast majority of those who do, work for slave wages. This in itself is a huge problem. We keep this up we might just see the middle class disappear. I think the focus should be more on pressing the Mexican government to fix the corruption that runs so rampant in that country. And we should also press American Big Business to play fair and quit raping its workers by paying them slave wages and little or no benefits. Illegal immigrants could be looked at as the scapegoats of this issue. But dig a little deeper and you'll see that if it wasn't for big business and government lobbyists, then the illegal immigrant would not be the "focus" of this problem. I doubt that most illegal immigrants have even pondered as this type of thinking. But I pray that they will see that the problem lies within their countries of origin and not in this land of "milk and honey".

Answer 5

They take our jobs to,so why not the health and welfare programs!!! They need to ship all the illegal immigrants back where they came from!!!

Answer 6

I'm a child from an illegal immigrant parents born in Oregon and WE WERE NEVER ON WELFARE OR FOODSTAMPS!!!! My parents earned their living working on fields and they paid for my health insurance thank you very much. Now my parents work in good paying jobs and they're American Citizens. And I'm sure you're not Indian or else your ancestors were illegal immigrants too who stole people's land.

Answer 7

Socialism is so much eaiser
Its easier to pass laws that force people to treat/educate/feed illegals than work on the right way to do things.
End the welfare system and its a step in the right diredtion.
But the haters, who hate that above statement use threats and scare tactics.
the real scare is whats happening to this once great society.

Answer 8

Do we?
I really don't know do we?
Have you actually witnessed it or are you just passing on somebody's personal agenda?

I know people keep saying that.
The few people I know that have tried to access US health & welfare programs walked away frustrated but I'm not for sure it is the illegal imigrants fault just a bad system.

Do we really? Or are you just speaking out of hatred? I would really like to know.

Answer 9

That's great kid!!!
think that way, that will make everyone love more the U.S.

I guess there are no immigrants in your family, everyone lived in that country with the native Americans right?

The illegal immigrants do all the work that you could NEVER do.. if you're able to think in something else than YOURSELF, think in how they live, their poverty, their starving children, their family waiting for money somewhere else..

Answer 10

We reward them because as long as we don't America will be worst off economy wise. It's all politics!!!! I understand when it's needy people, but when you got people living by the border and have businesses and homes on the other side, but claim food stamps and welfare that's unfair to the American people who were born on America's soil.

Answer 11

Now that is the question of the Day I salute you.
Folks he said Illegal not legal remember this in your answer.

Oh by the way if you think there country would treat you the same way then you need to go there and find out for sure. I think it would teach you a good lesson.
