I think illegal immigrants should receive benefits, after all most are working and paying taxes like ordinary Americans do. If they are working hard like us they should be entitled to the same benefits we receive, if a person can work and be a productive member of society then thats a plus no matter what the race. After all they are working in this country which help builds it up.In a lot of poor communities there is hardly a working class at all and the you have immigrants come in and pick up the slack where Americans should be and a lot of these immigrants are getting cheated out of fair wages.Most are usually trying to send money home to there families because there countries are so poor.America has a huge homeless problem, and most immigrants are here living sensibly,even though there maybe more than one family living in a home but they do that because there soul purpose is to live and take care of there family.It seems odd that a race of people have to still away into another country to work and provide for themselves. It would be great if people in this country were so serious about working and about providing for there family. It seems that here the main thing on peoples minds is big cars, big houses and celebrities driving drunk and celebrities going through there private crisis.
