When congressional investigators demanded answers from the agency, officials said they had not yet completed a review of the cases to determine the extent of the risk. Sounds like our government working for us

YOu do realize it is "Visa Waiver" countries being referred to?...
Which doesn't include Mexico or Latin American countries, but is mostly composed of Western European nations: Visa Waiver Program (VWP)
They could easily get rid of the worst ones by checking the immigration status of parents applying for food stamps and Medicaid. No immigrant should be benefitting from welfare handouts at least until after 10 years of being here legally -- and even then I think if they can't make it here, they need to go home.

I agree, but unfortunately they are qualifying for those benefits through their U.S. born children. That is one of the reasons that birthright citizenship needs to change.

YOu're specifying a ten-year wait, which is double what is now in effect. It's set to five years, because that is time a Legal Permanent Resident (not married to a U.S. citizen) has to wait to apply for naturalization. Sponsorship effectively terminates at naturalization - once U.S. citizens, they are no longer in the process of immigrating. There seems to be some resistance expressed here to those that are able to become U.S. citizens by the established qualifications.
And to think that almost all U.S. citizens otherwise only have to be born here to qualify for benefits...

Not really. These U.S. parents have to qualify based on their income or lack of income to gain these benefits for their kids. Just being born here doesn't do it.
