Why should an illegal immigrant, who has never worked a day in their life in the United States, be able to drain funds off a system that politicians were already saying was going to go broke before most of the current American citizens could draw benefits? The very thought is preposterous to the average American, but leave it to our government to be doing just that! They are handing out billions of dollars to these illegal immigrants, thus enabling them to remain in the country.

An American citizen who breaks the law is jailed, and thus is not eligible for any benefits. They lose their citizenship while incarcerated. The illegal immigrant is here, illegally, showing no regard to the law. Why then should this law breaking person who is not even a citizen have more rights to our funds than the American citizen?

Most of these illegal immigrants are here with the blessing of their country because they were of the lowest social class in their own country, often criminals, and their native country did not want them when they crossed the border and certainly does not want them back.

A huge portion of these illegal immigrants refuse to learn to speak English, prohibiting them from really fitting into our society. They actually are here for refuge and do not even have a desire to fit in, still loyal to their home country.

America is seeing an alarming rise in highly communicable diseases that had once been eliminated in the United States due to illegal immigrants crossing our borders who undergo no medical checks and no background checks whatsoever.

These same illegal immigrants drawing funds from our Social Security program are poorly educated and without proper credentials cannot find more than minimum wage or less employment, if and when they do decide to work. This causes the illegal immigrants to overcrowd two and three families into one apartment or trailer in order to have housing. It causes the formation of gangs who rob American citizens living in the surrounding neighborhood and sell the stolen goods for cash in order to support themselves. This causes devaluation in the surrounding property in that neighborhood owned by American citizens who have worked hard to purchase it.

The illegal immigrants cheat American businesses out of millions of dollars each year in goods and services. These debts are turned over to collection agencies in the hopes the debt can be collected there but most remain uncollected. The illegal immigrant, if and when found working, will pretend they cannot speak English when called to the telephone in order to avoid talking with the bill collector. The collector then has to place a lawsuit against the immigrant in order to get a judgment so they can garnish the illegal immigrant's wages. When their wages are garnished, the illegal immigrant just quits that job and goes to another employer willing to hire illegal immigrants and the debt remains uncollected.

We can no longer check sex offender databases with reliability in an attempt to protect our children and ourselves as the illegal immigrant who is a sex offender will not show in the database.

Every year American citizens are raped or murdered by illegal immigrants who had also committed crimes in their homeland.

How does it make the least bit of sense to hand these illegal immigrants funds from an already failing American system? The only thing that makes any sense to me is to crack down on illegal immigration. Stop the funds and benefits of any kind to all illegal immigrants! Arrest and deport the illegal immigrants already here and enforce our borders!
