Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not on welfare.
Everyone living in the household receives the welfare/food stamp benefit.
It equals almost 100 million dollars a year out of taxpayers pockets to take care of the illegals. That's $100 million that could be going to our schools or another worthy cause. And it's coming out of MY POCKET!

No people don't. When my dad graduated from his masters program, he was on foodstamps and welfare (yeah poor college grad!!! Good thing I was not born yet, lol). It was NOT on an individual basis. Again, that is on a per household basis. $800 a month (I think) is not really much to cover a cost of a new baby. It doesn't serve to incentivize having more children, nor does it.
The main issue is that those with less education tend to have more children. Though my dad was poor immediately out of college (I guess like father like son), he had only child. Monetarily poor, yet socially middle class (college education). If we can expand education and thus provide more opportunities, then it WILL decrease relience on social services. A UCSB study illustrated this point.
As for the whole 10 family in a house thing, this is not ALWAYS the case. In fact, most likely, it's the exception. It's kind of hard to confirm in either direction, however, if you look at the new immigrant population you can extrapolate and find that most live with one family per household.
