Remember: Illegal immigrants "don't qualify for benefits" but the American born KIDS of illegal immigrants DO. AND the amount of benefits is calculated based on HOUSEHOLD SIZE. Something that is conveniently left out of calculations of "how much illegal immigrants cost the US" because the kids are counted as AMERICANS and therefore the cost of basically raising these kids on the tax payer dime is never factored in.
The ex-pats overseas who don't want to be American can rip up their passport for all I care.

from the Mississippi chicken plant followup story ...

At the church entrance, a 31-year-old Guatemalan mother of two named Eva waited to pick up a donated lunch. She had been detained at a chicken plant in Carthage and was wearing an electronic ankle monitor, now a common sight around Scott County. She referred to it as “la grilleta” — “the shackle.” She said she was going to fight to remain in the United States with her children, 13 and 9, who are American citizens.

She was working at the chicken plant, earning no more than $11.50/hr.
