I work for a welfare office in a border state. Let me tell you the facts. When we determine eligibilities, we must input the citizenship status of the person applying for benefits. We must code illegals as just that, illegals. This information could be easily gathered by Immigration and Naturalization from our system, but apparently it is not. The children of illegals born in this country are entitled to TANF (Cash Assistance), Food Stamps and Mediciad benefits, regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. Most Middle Class Americans can't get Medicaid benefits for their own children - yet illegals can! Here's another thing. The US Government limits Cash Assistance benefits to 60 months, or five years. However, illegals (who are not case members since they are illegal) can get cash benefits indefinitely! What is wrong with this picture?

George Bush's guest worker program is a big sham. Doesn't he realize how many babies these "guest workers" can produce in six years? And their parents will be the first in line for government food stamps, cash assistance and Medicaid benefits. You, the American Middle Class will end up paying out of your pocket to support the children of these "guest workers."

The Middle Class needs to rise up and say, "we've had enough, and we aren't going to take it anymore."
