[quote]Again, the vast majority of government services are unavailable to undocumented people. You wouldn’t want to extend services to support our families because maybe some tiny % of those services would be abused?

So rather than risk having a tiny % of abuse you prefer to have nothing - zero benefits for any citizens. Sounds like spite to me. [/quote]

re:  refugees and asylees - But how are we coding those entering if they're escaping brutal conditions?

[quote]Refugees and asylees are eligible for all welfare benefits for the first seven years they reside in the U.S., after which their eligibility is greatly reduced.[/quote]

Welfare Benefits for Non-Citizens

written in 2002 - still the case?
If so, 7 years is still a long time.

This is new to me, too.

SEVEN YEARS?  Good grief.  I had no idea they were eligible for federal benefits.  And I bet millions of other people had no idea either, so thank you for posting, PP.  [/quote]
[b]I think any refugee we bring in should get tons of support. Otherwise, we will face enclaves and integration challenges like Europe.[/b] I dont think that all of these caravans are full of genuine refugees. The state is not actively persecuting people in Central America. If we are to classify them as refugees, and we are OK with them having 2 economies -one of people who stay behind, one of remittances and dollars - then we need to set up a very strict guest worker program, with health and criminal checks, no family accompaniment, and no birthright citizenship. Half the Philippines works abroad. They also leave their families at home and travel home once a year. That's being a "guest worker". These central Americans want to immigrate. In that case they should go through a full UN administered refugee process, live in camps in Mexico for years, and be sent all over the world. That's the way it has worked for generations of refugees. Whoch will it be? The current status quo is simply open borders
[/quote]Europe gives ''refugees'' and refugees tons of support. They don't want to integrate. They despise European culture.[/quote]

THIS, exactly.  The recent immigrants to Europe don’t WANT to assimilate.  They’ve been given all the aid in the world, but they despise the very people helping them.  It boggles the mind that Europe has let itself become a doormat for people who hate them and their culture.[/quote]
