Even if they don't have an "anchor" baby?
This is not a loaded question, I really don't know. I just hear people saying that illegal immigrants collect welfare, and I didn't know if that was possible or not.
Any sources for information on this would be appreciated, too.

Yes, it's possible. What's not clear is how many actually do-there are no numbers at all that track it. Any numbers you hear are guesses! Colorado recently passed legislation but there doesn't seem to be any affect so far. Maybe illegal immigrants don't apply for benefits?

They are not supposed to be able to, however everyday border patrol agents send illegals back to Mexico with welfare and wic cards. The border patrol agents are not allowed to take the cards away from the illegal aliens. All that they can do is call into the local offices of the state welfare agency and give them the card number and hope that it is canceled.

Yes, it's possible becuase if they have children that they brought here and they became legal (sometimes parents work out papers for their children if one of them is legal) they can ask for government assistance. The children are residents then they are entitled to WIC regardless of the immigration status because it only takes one parent to be legal to get papers for the children making them elegible for benefits. It has happened I know of some cases.

Yes, illegal aliens collect Welfare and WIC.
Although I think it would be hard if to collect WIC if they didn't have a baby.
Maybe, they could borrow a baby and forge documents and forge a baby!
I wouldn't put it past them since they lie and cheat and steal a lot when it come to forging documents.

FBI information: greater effective than 40 3% of all nutrition stamps issued are to unlawful extraterrestrial beings greater effective than 40-one% of all unemployment exams are issued to unlawful extraterrestrial beings fifty 8% of all welfare money are issued to unlawful extraterrestrial beings almost 60% of all occupants of HUD homes are unlawful extraterrestrial beings i think of it must be greater effective than the sanctuary cities! you will hear the pro-unlawful immigration people asserting that illegals pay taxes. that's actual yet for each $a million.00 paid in taxes they use $17,000 in centers. an magnificent return on investment for them (you get screwed)! in addition they are going to say that they won't assemble those centers on account that's against the regulation! So i think the unlawful alien in PA wasn't murdered via fact he wasn't right here on account that should be unlawful!

I am sure there is a way and it is probably taken advantage off constantly.
