@layman,
At least in my home state African Americans top the list in welfare and poverty, so........
Furthermore, folks that are not here legally are pretty much unable to obtain social benefits like welfare, food assistance, etc. MOST that are here illegally got into the country legally they just didn't leave. I'm not saying that it isn't wrong, I just think there is a better way to deal with them than punting them back across the boarder or blowing them up with drones.
Somebody that came into the US legally, stayed longer than they should, started a family, worked, bought a home, sent their kids to college...these are the folks we need here bolstering our economy and helping pay for the folks on welfare (I refer back to my first sentence).
We, as a country, have plenty of home grown people soaking up welfare. The number of illegal immigrants pales in comparison and is a tiny fraction of the problem.
