Illegal immigrants aren't eligible for cash assistance, section 8 housing, social security, or federally funded foodstamp programs. A limited number of states provided some food assistance or shelter assistance. So unless you're only referring to K-12 education, there is not any wholesale 'free government handouts' that illegal immigrants qualify for.Quote:

Also, and this may come as a shock to you idiots, but undocumented illegal immigrants can’t legally work here. Is Biden taking credit for creating illegal jobs for undocumented illegal imigrants?

I get it.. you didn't pay any taxes into the federal government because you are a leech, but where is this 451 billion dollars going to if not to illegals?
Literally sErAn, these illegals are basically stealing from you... taking money that should be going towards people like you: our own destitute and unable to perform.Quote:

Almost entirely true, yes, and I'll note your struggle to cite anything to support your claims about 'some states and cities' that're going bankrupt which have voluntarily decided to provide limited benefits.Quote:

Starvation, disease, death.. all expenses the states will have to bear.Quote:
Generally, qualified aliens are non-citizens who have been permitted to reside permanently in the United States. They include legal permanent residents (LPRs), refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, and a few other categories. Qualified immigrants may be eligible for federal and state benefit programs that aim to help families with limited income and resources. Not qualified aliens (mostly illegal and temporary immigrants), by contrast, are ineligible for all except emergency benefits, a policy that was largely in place even before the 1996 reforms.
The second factor is date of entry into the United States. Specifically, qualified immigrants who entered after August 22, 1996 are barred from SSI and food stamps until they become citizens and from TANF, Medicaid, and SCHIP for five years after entry.
Your much vaunted Ronald Reagan took a stab at resolving this issue by granting amnesty to 3 million illegals already in the country.
I don’t feel the need to cite which cities and states are giving out free shit to illegal immigrants. Sounds like you are not disputing that fact.Quote:

It will be accomplished in 2025 after Biden gets defeated at the ballot box.
Blocked by republicans for decades? Does that include when Obama had a supermajority for his first 2 years in office and could have passed literally anything he wanted?Quote:

Umm, just cited the actual 1996 welfare law exceptions which you mischaracterized as offering broad federal benefits. It doesn't. You ought to better inform yourself before making public policy claims. "I don't feel the need to cite" is Conservative for 'I made it up.'Quote:
