How do immigrants get on welfare when that's against federal law?
For illegal aliens :
Their children qualifies for all the welfare and free schools. Welfare is also a state thing. So they themselves qualify too.
For legal immigrants:
The laws are completely ignored because those on welfare tend to vote for Democrats and the Democrat slave masters need the vote to enslave more people. Many do get on welfare - I personally know quite a few.
The government employees, state and municipal, are instructed to help them and not to question their legal status.
How else do you think so many low information people are on welfare? They can't even spell their own names or get an voter ID! Do you think they would go down to the city hall, present some IDs they don't have, fill out a form that I can't even fully understand, write down an address and bank account they don't have, in a language they don't speak (Americans, illegals and legal immigrants alike), jump through government hoops?
Go live in the real world for a few days would you please!
Please note that Trump never bashed legal immigrants who come here and contribute. He bashed illegal aliens and legal immigrants who come here and get on welfare.
Many immigrants are refugees! It's perfectly legal and proper for us to provide them with the basic necessities of life until they're able to reset, find employment, and continue on with their lives.
That's the whole point of offering our country as a respite for those longing for freedom in a just society.
Trump bashed an entire continent of countries and an Island formerly used as slave colony. To insult Haiti demonstrates nothing less than sheer ignorance, after those responsible for it's creation and development quickly abandoned it for self-serving capitalistic and racist reasons.
Of course, it must be admitted that there has been much corruption demonstrated by the so-called "leadership" of Haiti. They too must bear at least a share of the responsibilty of Haiti's plight.

Children born in the US are citizens regardless of the citizenship status of their parents. States do not break federal law and grant welfare to immigrants who are precluded from receiving it. Do you really want to pursue this when it's obvious that you are mistaken?
Neither Clinton or Obama were nearly as maniacally egotistical as Trump. He takes narcissism to a very positive exponential level! LOL
Diatribe? "Sounding" especially superior? I have absolutely no idea what point you're intending here...
It would appear that as long as rules, laws, and treatries are to the distinct advantage of Americans with European roots, then all should strictly abide. However, whenever others appear to be better served by those very same rules, laws, or treaties, then suddenly rules and laws require amendments, or treaties get broken.
DACA people are all victims of circumstance. They were brought here by others more powerful than themselves and forced to live by the rules of those who transported them. If their presence is some form of crime or violation, then that would be the equivalent of an adult or parent who brings a child with them while they rob a bank.
So the accompanying child should be tried and sentenced along with the felonious adult?

You brought this up before and you were corrected. Your source was an informational guide for immigrants applying for SNAP benefits in which the organization that wrote the piece said "if you are illegal you don't qualify for benefits so don't apply but you do not have to admit that you are here illegally". You put a big twist on that and tried to make it sound like the government was telling illegal immigrants to lie in order to get benefits.
You are not helping your case when you resort to outright falsehoods that are easily disproved.

I was not arguing legal or illegal. The end result is that immigrants, legal or illegal, from sh$thole countries come here to receive welfare more often.
Are only illegal aliens allowed to dream? Why can't American citizens have dreams? Shouldn't we favor our own citizens, who contribute to our society first?
We do. Not sure how allowing someone living and working in the US for years to become a permanent resident/citizen is favoring illegals over citizens ??
TPS = legal resident
Refugee Visa = legal resident
no visa = illegal
What we need is a rational immigration policy that does not favor illegal entry to the US over legal entry; does not support guest worker visas (H1Bs) for outsouring US jobs that actually incentivizes job creation over hiring of low priced immigrants. That does not punish those who have called the US home for 5, 10 or even 15 years.
This has never been in place in my lifetime.
