this is not a valid argument as to why illegal immigrants should be given any federal government benefits
i dont take personal issue with someone coming to the US to try to find work. but you dont get fed government money or coverage, and if someone wants to kick you ass out, i wouldnt lift a finger to stop them
i will not fight for illegals to be here as long as there are unemployed americans
If they pay taxes (and many do), they should be eligible for benefits. Again, just because some illegals get federal benefits doesn't mean those benefits are taken away from "hard working Americans". The effect is trivial, and most of the data bears that out.
And of course you wouldn't lift a finger to stop the breaking up of families and other atrocities that come from mass deportation, they don't look like you.
