The amount of food stamps given is based on household size. This is why mama can have a live-in lover and all her extended family coming over.

They have these babies not because they can support them but because it's like winning the lottery.

The "payees" are the illegal alien parents, not the anchors, and they spend the money as they choose. As malamute stated, it’s a huge scam, and the entire illegal alien family benefits. Some have even overheard illegals commenting that it’s time to have another baby to increase their welfare payments. They are parasites and crooks.

Sounds like this isn't just an illegals problem then if poor Americans can also be "parasites and crooks". If your problem is with the food stamps program then it's probably more productive to figure out solutions there.

We aren’t discussing our homegrown parasites and crooks. We are discussing the fleecing of this country by people who should not be here to begin with. We have a moral obligation to assist our own, notwithstanding the number of parasites and frauds. However, we are NOT obligated to support untold millions of parasitic illegal aliens who come to this country to live off of taxpayers. Therein lie the difference.

The parents are using the children to get food benefits when they should not be here to begin with. We cannot feed the entire world with that logic let alone all the children in the world. The system was never set up to do that.

My Country, America, set up programs reserved for Americans, paid by me. Programs to assist those who need help, whether short or long term, persons, households; vary.

My Country, America, is not set up to provide to those whose main purpose is to attach themselves to our economy, siphoning funds especially to send back to their native lands, not America. They contribute NOTHING yet consume resources reserved for our own.

Everyone knows this and I wonder why the argument still continues?

It's very odd to me that someone would define their moral obligations by an invisible line in the sand. Government obligation, financial obligation, community obligation, I can get. But a moral obligation? So you see a pair of Hispanic 3 year olds, one born here, the other carried here, both hungry, neither responsible for where their mom's vagina happened to be at the time of birth, both probably completely ignorant at the concept of nations, and you feel an actual moral obligation to help provide nourishment for one and nothing for the other? That just seems weird to me.

Sad isn't it! They can get all the benefits that some of our American children don't have. We pay high dollar for health insurance and sit next to them in the doctors office to get the same care. Illegals should receive nothing. They have earned nothing. If they are homeless, too bad, apply for citizenship. They shouldn't be here mooching off of the taxpayers and our government. There are allot of homeless Americans that are citizens that could use help. How about all the people who work and make just over that maximum amount for help? They struggle. But we can give out free to illegals? Something is seriously wrong.
