[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long do immigrants in this country have to wait until they get their hands on all the goodies - free medical, food stamps, welfare, subsidized housing, and so forth? Its an important question since the majority of them are on government assistance.

HilllRy wants to pave a path so the illegals can become citizens, but of course most of they will eventually require taxpayer-funded support. So if we are to bend the rules, ignore the fact that they broke the rules, and allow them to become citizens, I think it's only fair that we should have a requirement that they must be self-sufficient. I've heard there's a five-year wait for legal immigrants, so we can't reward illegals by giving them the same wait. I'd say....10 years. Thoughts?

[b]Educated, self-sufficient,[/b] and law-abiding legal immigrants are always welcome in this country. I am speaking of ILLEGAL immigrants.

My parents were uneducated, poor legal immigrants, and at times were on food stamps. They have now paid more into the system than they get back. I have also paid waaay more into the system earning six figures a year in the past 10 yrs than I will ever get back; same for my sibling.  You are quite ignorant.[/quote]

My parents were poor Americans who never received the benefits your parents received and paid taxes to support your parents.  I now make more money than you do but do not pat myself on the back saying my parents laid for your parents food stamps or I have paid much more into the system than you.  Stop playing the poor immigrant card. It makes you fatuous. .   [/quote]  
That's great for your parents that they never had to receive benefits, but some Americans have received benefits, and we as taxpayers have footed their bill, too, and continue to do so.

I bet when your poor parents or their poor parents immigrated to this country, there was a segment of the population who didn't want them here, thought them lowly, uneducated, filthy, or taking jobs away from Americans. Not really different to today.

Stop playing the "my parents did it and so can your's" card.  It makes you disingenuous.[/quote]
