It is not true that Americans think Illegal immigrants come here for Welfare benefits. We are well aware they are coming here for jobs. The problem is many do end up on some kind of public assistance, because in the US, a child born here is automatically a US citizen. As a US citizen, this child is entitled to all sorts of tax payer funded assistance. The illegal immigrants often take advantage of these programs for their American born children, We also have a mandate in this coun try that their children (illegal and American born) must attend school. This is a burden on local school systems, because they increase class size and the illegal immigrants do not contribute enough taxes to pay the teachers and upkeep the buildings. Also, they use our hospitals and do not pay for their medical bills. I can go on and on, but they think we are some kind of bank with unlimited resources. If you want illegal immigrants in Canada ---fine. You can have OURS!
