Illegal immigrants should not be entitled to anything more than a free meal on their way out of America. That may sound harsh but its a reality. These people have no respect for the American government or for its laws. If they truly wished to become citizens then they should have to follow the same process everyone else did. Those benefits the government gives them comes out of American citizens tax dollars. Then when the American goes to try to get it they are told they make to much money or that the social services can't do anything for them. Well thats because their giving all this aid to these illegals. Our money which goes into programs to help Americans has been hijacked by this liberal pro-illegal immigrant special interest groups. I don't care if they need medicines or welfare to feed their children. Guess what I need medicine and dental care I need food stamps and I can't get them because it has gone to illegal immigrants and welfare moms. I earn no more than $80 a week but thats to much money. Ohh wait thats because these illegals only earn $10. Thats a hard life but maybe if they had come here legally or at the very least learned how to speak English the country would be better off. Instead they force Americans to become bilingual and accept the fact that if you ever need a social service you are not going to be able to recieve it because these illegal non-english speaking people have taken all the money. Once again it must be reiterated they are not entitled to anything more than a free meal as they are dropped across the border.
