The fact that Mexican officials feel literally entitled to demand that Americans feed their nationals, let alone the fact that any American elected officials defend this idiotic policy is almost beyond outrage.
I agree and not only do I find it baffliing that many of our elected officials put foreigners both illegal and legal above the needs of our own citizens what is even more disheartening is when regular Americans do it based on emotionalism and/or ethnic ties.

You also missed a key term in your titling of the topic:



Legal non-citizen means Legal Permanent Resident (and by the program's common qualification, required to be in that status for a minimum of five years), whom are not illegal aliens...

But you misquoted Senator Sessions in your titling, defining all "non-citizens" in the article as illegal aliens ("ILLEGAL ALIENS ON WELFARE DOUBLE UNDER BARACK OBAMA REGIME"):



To whit:



This topic is not about illegal immigration...

It must have been because it said "Mexican"...
You must have miss the subject line.

Actually Benicar;

It isn't hard to figure out, which Country, Obama does represent. Sure as hell ain't for Americans of all colors anymore.

Any Presidient who puts the needs and wants of others before the American People, should not be leading this Country.

For Americans should be the first priority.

Should not even be having this discussion, for anyone here illegally, should not get welfare period. This should be a priority for Americans who desperatly need it.

Not someone who breaks laws, and demand's certain rights they are not entitled too.

Gosh dang it, come here the legal way, we have no problem, break our laws, we have a serious problem?

The claim is though that there is no legal way for many to come so they must come illegally. Well yeah, we have annual quotas and for good reasons so if they don't fall within our quotas that doesn't give them the right to come here illegally anyway. What part of that don't they get?

A lot of our taxes dollars are being squandered on anchor babies. That is why it is so important to end birthright citizenship for babies born on our soil from illegal immigrant parents.

How much of our tax dollars? You've got a source if you say "a lot". Can we see some actual numbers?

No, I don't have an exact number. Why would you need that? There are thousands and thousands of anchor babies born each year. Do the math.

What is your source for "thousands and thousands of anchor babies born each year"? Qualify "a lot". More or less than defense spending, Social Security, what sort of general number are we talking about?

This is just at Parkland Hospital in Dallas alone and this is going on all over the country. If you would read the entire article instead of just the title of the article you'll see it is referring to anchor babies.

More than enough sources have been posted on this forum, and you have seen most if not all of those threads. So, why are you playing games? Unfortunately, we do not have exact numbers, because our spineless government refuses to require any agency to collect data on illegal aliens, including their births. But, according to Pew, at least 4 million babies have been born to illegal aliens within the past several years. That would certainly amount to "thousands and thousands" per year. Most are being supported by taxpayers to the tune of billions of dollars annually. Not to mention, at a minimum, they will continue to be a burden for at least 18 years. That is, if they don't become lifelong welfare recipients.
