Is it true that illegal immigrants can have a child in the USA and get welfare through the child?

And what percentage of welfare recipients are children of illegal immigrants?

Answer:
Ill tell you one thing, the Los Angeles hospitals are filled with these women. I had to wait forever to have my baby and I was paying 400 a month for medical! I almost had to have my child in the hall way. And when I bring my kids to the doctors office, guess who fills that up too?
Possibly. There's always Aid to Dependent Families with Children (AFDC) payments.

Depends on whether dad is an American or "greengo".
And they do this and it's wrong!!
this is sad but true they are called anchor baby's
Don't know how many there are but children born in the U.S.A. to illegals are called anchor babies. The baby is automatically a American citizen so the parents are allowed to stay here in the U.S. They then get welfare, medicaid ..
yes. The children are American citizens and if their parents are poor, then the children are poor Americans eligible for assistance.
Yes but the number of people that actually do it is very small. Most people in the welfare system in this country are white.look it up.
yup and even worse...the child becomes an automatic citizen
100 % THEY GOT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE , AUTOMATIC CITIZEN include stamp food, free school, scholarship and most they got $30 thousand each year .

mexico govt very succes dump their poverty to this country and we subsidize this free loader and wealthy coorporation.

...DO have too many babies (paid for OTHER PEOPLES MONEY). DO bring in disease ( T.B. anyone??). ARE PRONE TO CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR,(look at the outstanding warrants in L.A. and Ca. prison population, MS13 gangs..). DO dumb down our schools, CHECK THE STATS, (2nd and 3rd generation aren’t even advancing).”

Irish immigrant come here NO welfare in this country and US still poor and we build not them.

all this freeloader Johny come to late>>>"
They can get welfare for the child, but most agencies do not check on if the applicants are illegal or not, and add the forged and stolen documents, I am sure that a high percentage of illegals are getting all types of welfare for the entire family
it's another one of the loop holes no one is bothering to fill. it's just easier to look the other way. i'm a nurse who doesn't make enough money to make ends meet, pay for insurance for myself or my kids, but take care of illegals daily with medicare and all their kids have it as well. i was told i make too much to qualify for medical assistance. tell me, how am i not suppost to get mad at that!?!?! i see it everyday!!
Yes they can.The child becomes a citizen upon birth.
I do not know the percentage and i doubt the Government does either.
yes- and it it only requires that you are a resident of the US. The supreme Idiot Court ruled that way many years ago. Illegals come here to have children to get a citizenship for the kid. Once that happens, they have a green light to help themselves to medical, food stamps, welfare, and free education all the way to Jr. college level. And WE PAY FOR IT !!
Sure does. That child becomes an American citizen the minute it is born in the US. that is why a lot of illegals are kids here so they have an excuse not to be deported. I'm sick and tired of having to pay so they can use are tax dollars so they can be here illegally to take our jobs, get free medical, free schooling and then we have to pay for the interpreters instead of them learning our language. This is the US can't speak it leave it. This is not all immigrants mind you but a great majority of the Mexicans that come over. I don't think it should make any difference if their child is born here if they are hear illegally send them all back. We have become the welfare country of the world, For anyone here.
Yes,sad but true.
This is silly. People are answering questions with what they have "heard" istead of actual knowledge about how the system works.

First, aid is state- mandated, so, the rules in one state may not be the same in the other.

Secondly, in order to consider a family for eligibility - there is an income level that coincides with an income base. A child born here is considered its own entity (like foster children are) and, let's say for a single person it is $300 a month, Obviously, the child is "income eligible", but, there are "family requirements" which state that if that child prepares and eats meals with other people that live in the same household, that all family income has to be considered, but, family size is not altered if there aren't documentation of legal status. OK? So, the child is income eligible (making under $300/month), but, the child eats food with its parents. Therefore, the parents income is considered, and, it pushes the child's income over $300.

In wisconsin, there is also a law that if you can't provide social security numbers or legal documents, you are ineligible. Lastly, medical assistance is seperate. WE do provide health insurance to poor citizens.
You are damn right they can and the whole family can qualify for medical insurance and other benefits as well. it is sad to me to see what this has come to
We give welfare to illegal alien criminals through their anchor baby kids. This is so insulting to law abiding citizens.

Deport all illegals, and their anchor baby kids! The kids can come back when they can support themselves.
Yes and no. The children are eligible for welfare, not their parents. That is NOT allowed unless they are using fake ss, documents, etc. The number of welfare is in this documents (which includes food stamps, etc)

Technically the illegal parents get money for the kids - in essence, they get welfare.
Yep! There are more immigrants in line then anybody else...
so you want to deprive children that are US citizens from help from the government.Say what you want about illegals John but leave their kids out of it.
Yes.

I agree with Sebatian, the child (who is a US citizen) has the right for welfare and other benefits, but not the parent! & most illegal immigrants come here to work thier asses off not to be supported by the gov't like ppl claim.
