Babies born on US soil are Willy Wonka Golden Tickets to illegal immigrant parents. They aren't going anywhere.
I don't understand where you're coming from on this, Jimbone. So, feel free to mock the shit outta me for inquiring; I can take it.
My understanding is that undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law.
Even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years.
What am I missing?
