Sorry, but I work at the Welfare Office. I know what I speak of. Maybe the ones down on the border are treated differently, but where I"m at hundreds of them are "green card" holders. They sign up for food stamps and medical the minute they are eligible (they technically have a 5 year ban, but if they bring their under age18 kids they can get them). They don't work, or if they do it's under the table so they have no verifiable earnings so they are gonna automatically qualify
