Corn you are only hearing what you want, not what I am saying.

Bullshit, you didn't say anything substantive the first go-around.

As for your links, the welfare stuff is absolute nonsense. We have discussed this on Patrick.net before. Undocumented immigrants do not get welfare. Anyone suggesting that they do is lying to you, outright, including in that report about Los Angeles County. It is possible that undocumented immigrants' US citizen children might get welfare, but I don't see a problem with that -- the kids didn't choose to be here, and it's better to have well-cared and educated children than not in the grand scheme of our economy.

I noticed that the Los Angeles County calculation is not backed up by any evidence of how they got $200M for public safety and $400M for healthcare (as part of LA County's more than $23B budget). Also, nice job completely ignoring the fact that in some states native folks receive more cash assistance than immigrants.

The cost vs. benefit of low-skilled immigrants is also not compared to low-skilled natives. I wonder why? I bet you'd find that low-skilled natives aren't pulling their weight either (including lots of teabaggers who don't pay federal income tax -- 47% by most estimates). It also ignores the fact that many immigrants that would be here under immigration reform would be high-skilled immigrants -- the anti-immigrant people seem to ignore that, and high-skilled immigrants raise wages.

(if you're going to make a ridiculous argument about so-called "anchor babies", don't bother. That is an ideological term that does not exist in reality. It is extremely difficult for an undocumented immigrant to stay here just because they have a US citizen child. Only uninformed people who don't know anything about immigration law refer to "anchor babies.")

corntrollio maybe you just don't know what propitup is talking about.

There are many ways illegals can get benefits, and anchor babies are not so uncommon.

Yes, and you're wrong on that. Again, if you think the concept of an "anchor baby" is common, you know absolutely nothing about immigration law.

What ways are there for undocumented immigrants to get benefits? You should be able to name them. Every study that anyone has mentioned on Patnet shows that US citizen (or LPR) children of undocumented immigrants might get some welfare, and that it's extremely rare that this welfare is composed of cash.

Repeating the opposite of what I say without facts or an argument isn't really very effective.

Corn,
swearing and calling me foul names just shows that you have a tired mind, and with a tired mind it's no wonder you don't understand anything that I have written.

Speaking of welfare benefits for illegal aliens, I'm getting my petitions ready for the signature drive that I am going to do this Sunday to repeal the California Dream act. Tax payer paid financial aid for Illegal Alien college students?!!!

Not if I have any say about it!

Maybe because everything you write is false and propagandist, and provably wrong. If you can provide facts and evidence that show differently, please do. Otherwise, pipe down, son. And have fun screwing up the country by trying to encourage people to be less educated -- I'm sure that'll work out well.
