Why do illegals think its legal to stay in america and get free health care and food and housing?
and when they are kicked out of America they still think they have rights and protest? I know some of you Illegals supporters will get this question deleted. But I really want to know why do they really think its legal? Hey Greesy, My town i live in is just 15 mintues outside of chicago, and i can tell you there are so many illegals living here,,and they all complain that they don't have enough for food stamps, or cash asstanice, and NONE of them have jobs. So don't tell me to educate my slef when i am living smack in the middle of a bunch of illegals and hearing it first hand. So I have every right to ask a question as to why they think its legal.. just like your answer is a rant so don't give me that. some of these illegals get checks sent to them of 600.00 or MORE for a family of 4...I HAVE seen it first hand and she was showing it off..it ticks me off that I live in America my whole life and went to college and worked my butt off so Juan can have better health care than my family and handed money to them on a silver platter. and Obama wants to make 12 million more of them legal.. if you think its hard to find a job now just wait DIRTY yes I do know these people the live across the street from me, and next door to me and behind me. I talk to them all the time AND don't tell me I am wrong. Until you live where they live and talk to them and have conversations with them and they show off there government check to you that YOU pay your taxes on you can't say squat. You only go by what the media has to say, they don't live next to illegals and hear them complain how bad they have it. They talk about how they want some more of there family members here in the United States... until you live where they live like i do you can't say sh*t

becuz Mexico ain't givin them squat

I don't think they are so disillusioned as to think that it's legal, they just think that a better life is worth fighting for.
3 :
because our country allow them to do so.
4 :
Because there are a lot of politicians who 'look the other way' and do not enforce the deportation laws.
5 :
Anyone that would break laws and then whine about being penalized for doing so can not be that intelligent. They are moochers and they will mooch in whatever way they can.
6 :
I don't think they "think it's legal"- they just don't care if it's wrong
7 :
Illegals should be entitled to nothing in this country except a good kick in the as$ on the way to deportation.
8 :
Ignorance, maybe they assume if they get a job then they become Americans. The job situation is so bad now that even illegals are leaving and going home.
9 :
Because they don't know why just the fact to be born in America should give a human being much better chances in their life than the ones from many other countries have.
10 :
They don't care if it's legal or not, they only care that they can and will get it. And as long as they can get it they will take it.
11 :
They don't! because they can't! .....that's just an assumption not true facts. Illegal immigrants are banned from almost anything the Government provides. Please educate yourself on the issue before ranting! http://americanaffairs.suite101.com/article.cfm/undocumented_assumptions Illegal Immigrants and Benefits It’s a widely held misperceptions: Undocumented immigrants pay no taxes but take advantage of a slew of taxpayer-supported federal benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid and Medicare (the health care programs for the poor and the elderly), Social Security, housing and hospital services. In fact, federal law bars undocumented alien access to all those benefits, with very few exceptions. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1838865/posts Immigration and Welfare Heritage Foundation's Robert Rector, who argues in a new study that "the average lifetime costs to the taxpayer will be $1.1 million" for each low-skilled immigrant household. Hispanic immigrants and their families are a net national drain, he says, because they "assimilate into welfare." Mr. Rector and Heritage have done some good social science research in the past, but this time they have the story backward: In most cases immigrants will pay at least as much in lifetime federal taxes as they receive in benefits. One basic flaw in the Heritage analysis is that, as a study by the Immigration Policy Center points out: "The vast majority of immigrants are not eligible to receive any of these [welfare] benefits for many years after their arrival in the United States. . . . Legal permanent residents cannot receive SSI [Supplemental Security Income], which is available only to U.S. citizens, and are not eligible for means-tested public benefits until 5 years after receiving their green cards."

just like Obama's Auntie,who lived in public housing in Boston,for about 4 years,all the while she was in this country illegally,and living off the citizens of Ma..Obama,who claims to be fond of this Aunt was living in his million dollar mansion,guess they didn't have room for Auntie so obie figured the taxpayers should carry her.I did see her at the inauguration right there with her devoted nephew so she's still in the U.S.,maybe she's living in your state now and your tax dollars are supporting her?

I find it interesting how illegals know all about the laws here but say in Mexico they are not out there in the streets protesting about anything but in America they demand a lot, feel entitlements are theirs as well since fake or stolen documents paid taxes.Two wrongs do not make a right. If you figure that the children of illegal immigrants attending K-12 schools approximates the proportion of illegal immigrants in the population, the bill currently comes to roughly $4 billion. Most is state money; some local property taxes. * Illegal immigrants aren't entitled to welfare, called CalWORKs. But their citizen children are. Roughly 190,000 kids are receiving welfare checks that pass through their parents. The cost: about $500 million, according to the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office. Schwarzenegger has proposed removing these children from the welfare rolls after five years. It's part of a broader proposal to also boot off, after five years, the children of U.S. citizens who aren't meeting federal work requirements. There'd be a combined savings of $522 million. * The state is spending $775 million on Medi-Cal healthcare for illegal immigrants, according to the legislative analyst. Of that, $642 million goes into direct benefits. Practically all the rest is paid to counties to administer the program. The feds generally match the state dollar-for-dollar on mandatory programs. So-called emergency services are the biggest state cost: $536 million. Prenatal care is $59 million. Not counted in the overall total is the cost of baby delivery -- $108 million -- because the newborns aren't illegal immigrants. The state also pays $47 million for programs that Washington does not require: Non-emergency care (breast and cervical cancer treatment), $25 million; long-term nursing home care, $19 million; abortions, $3 million. Schwarzenegger has proposed requiring illegal immigrants to requalify every month for Medi-Cal benefits, except pregnancy-related emergencies. There also are other taxpayer costs -- especially through local governments -- but those are the biggies for the state. Add them all up and the state spends well over $5 billion a year on illegal immigrants and their families. Of course, illegal immigrants do pay state taxes. But no way do they pay enough to replenish what they're drawing in services. Their main revenue contribution would be the sales tax, but they can't afford to be big consumers, and food and prescription drugs are exempt. http://www.latimes.com/news/columnists/l...

I really don't think illegals get free health care and food and housing. They have to work for it like everybody else. Yeah they might be illegal and I think that its wrong to come here illegally. But there's nothing that can be done. Instead of trying to be legalized its faster and easier to come over here illegally and have a better life than where the country they came from.
16 :
Because they can. Anytime anybody can get something for free they'll keep whining to get more.
17 :
Their chicken, corrupt government (and MALDEF and LaRaza) tells them that and since most only have a 5th grade education they don't know any better. They are being used to re-claim land. No one wants to live anywhere that they have destroyed.
18 :
I have the feeling that you have THE LAW genetically built in your cells. Some people don't care so much about a piece of paper written by people like ourselves Maybe the word "ilegal" does not cross thorough their minds, plain and simple
19 :
if your government is stupid enough to give it to them then they will just keep coming
20 :
Because you are wrong. You don't know if those people are really illegal. Just because they look illegal to you doesn't make them to be like that. Illegals can't get those benefits, so that is the first thing you should know
