Illegal Aliens Get More Welfare Benefits Than Citizens
April 20, 2011

Whether or not illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans won’t do, they’re certainly getting benefits Americans don’t get. This is the finding of a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report stating that a whopping 70 percent of illegal-immigrant households with children receive handouts via a government program. The rate for immigrant households with children overall (both legal and illegal) is 57 percent, versus only 39 percent for such native households.

This puts the lie to open-border advocates’ claim that immigration is a net plus for our nation. While this might have been true prior to the nanny state’s rise, when immigrants had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, today’s statist, entitlement culture has changed that equation. As pressing one for English and Mexican flags waved in street protests evidence, many today come here not to assimilate but because “America, land of the freeâ€

Birthing, feeding, medicating and educating the children of illegal aliens is responsible for much of the economic stress the states are under. Illegals may "be hard workers", but for the most part force taxpayers to support their families. This is why it is imperative that something be done about birthright citizenship before its too late.

Exactly, the employers get off cheap while the American tax payer has to make up for their inhumane wages. These employers should be held responsible for their foreign workers wages, food expenses, AND medical costs. Maybe if the American tax payer was not constantly picking up the tab for these crooked employers they would think twice about hiring illegals!

Since everyone is mad as hell, I propose that EVERYONE start sending, letters, emails and/or phone calls ON A DAILY BASIS to our Senators and Representatives DEMANDING THAT THEY GET OFF THEIR BOTTOMS, DO THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO, AND PUT AN END TO THIS NOW!

FORWARD THIS ARTICLE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND ASK THEM TO DO LIKEWISE.

TELL CONGRESS: WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND THAT YOU STAND FOR AMERICA, NOT FOR FOREIGN INVADERS.

PASS A RESOLUTION THAT STATES "ANYONE IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY HAS 30 DAYS TO VACATE. SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN HERE, YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW AND THEN DEPORTED."
