Agree.  But they should not be eligible for state benefits.  If I could go without health insurance for years they can go without too until they get benefits from employer.  If an employer is not required to insure tuff luck.  Pay for it yourself like the rest of us do.  If we leveled the scales so that they had to provide for themselves like Americans they wouldn't come.

I thought it was mainly their children that get benefits?

We used to employ illegals in those 'jobs Americans won't do' via the Bracero program. Come, do the work, collect your salary and go home when you're supposed to.

And don't tell me it can't be done. If hands to do the job are all that are required. But illegals are used by the state for so much more now.

And I think this was 2012.  Much higher now.

Says households meaning I'm right. Illegals getting federal welfare was made illegal in the 90s

Intended for farm workers?  You are right they have taken over Construction and manufacturing.  And even business jobs now.

I think the program could be expanded to cover other really nasty work, like roofing in the Southwest. As log as there are stringent enough requirements for employers to qualify.

I like him.  Can I pray he will run for President?
