Could this really be happening in America?
A new study says 70% of illegal aliens in Texas are on welfare.

   Thirteen years after Congress overhauled the American welfare system, 57 percent of immigrants with children — those in the country legally or not — use at least one government, welfare program according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies.

    In comparison, 39 percent of native-born Americans with children are signed up for welfare, the report found.

    In Texas, 54 percent of legal immigrants and 70 percent of illegal immigrants receive welfare assistance, with illegal immigrants generally receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, according to the study, written by a think tank that favors reducing immigration into the U.S.

    Overall, Texas tied with California and New York for the second highest immigrant welfare rates behind Arizona.

My baby is an anchor baby baby and she makes me money too.

Don't the libertines have specified groups to pigeonhole these people and sigh 'em up. Get on the team then citizenize them and motorvotem.

Utopia!

The fact that non-citizens are even considered eligible for any taxpayer funded... anything.... is just unconscionable. In a sane society, illegal aliens would be treated so harshly that they never bothered trying to enter illegally in the first place.

 They're waiting to be notified that they qualify.
