Why is it that illegal aliens get free food stamps, health insurance, and pay NO taxes.?

I live on Long Island, NY, and everywhere you look there are illegal aliens getting free food, and health care and paying NO TAX! My tax bill just went up 30%, I had to suffer with a great amount of pain due to a severe toothache (no insurance), and I am lucky if I can feed my 3 children. Oh, and by the way, I am a business owner and just paid all of my taxes, instead of the "important things in life." Why is my government protecting these illegals? What gives?

Answer:
I am not only going to answer this quesiton, but i am going to respond to the stupid ignorant people who criticized this question. Take you fat lazy *** down to your local welfare office. You do not have to prove citizenship to get benefits. Illegals come accross the border and they get dropped off at the local county welfare office. They get forms in spanish, and they get someone to speak spanish to them to help them. They get section 8 housing, money, food stamps and Health insurance. In fiscal year 2005, California tax payers spent over 9 Billion dollars supporting illegals. That only counts welfare. That does not count schooling their children (another 5 billion) police, firefighters, emergency rooms, courts, jail and so on. Illegals severaly cripple the economy. They are worthless leaches that need to be shipped home NOW!! The only people that want illegals here and the people who hire them like walmart. Why pay an american $8 an hour when you can pay an illegal $4? The problem is bleeding heart liberals, democrats and the catholic church. These groups want you to fell sorry for the illegals and help them. I say bullshit, let them get off their asses and make their country better. Have any of you seen mexico or the other places they come from. It looks like a cat box or a cesspool. Here in california, everywhere the illegals take residence, they turn to crap. Broke cars everywhere, trash, they piss and **** in the yard, they have like 30 people living in a house. The do not learn our customs, they do not learn english, they are only here for money. What do they do with the money, well last year in 2005 illegal mexican immigrants sent back over $20 billion in wire transfers to mexico. They do not pay taxes and they do not spend it here in america. Do not be fooled, illegal are a cancer. Stop the handouts and they will leave.
F-ing Bush is a Pu$$y and won't enforce the laws already in place

Illegal aliens DO NOT GET food stamps and a bunch of other government benefits, they just don't have the right and legal paperwork to apply for it. Educate yourself about the subject before making ignorant assumptions.
maybe that is what goes on where your from,i really doubt it though...but here in ky my husband worked 12 hours every day and taxes was taken out of every paycheck and at the end of the end of the year he got no tax money back!! as for health insurance and you are illegal you can't get it. so i think you need 2 get your **** straight before you say thing's you know nothing about!!
I lived in Denver and my ex was a case worker and yes they do get those things for free. i know my facts and i have seen it for my self and if you are an illegal and you have taxes taken out of your pay check then whose ss# did he steal it from. and to answer the question bad government who will not enforce the laws.
All they have to do is show up at an ER and the hospital is forced to attend their medical needs. With far too many using fake documents, yes they get services, but they also are using any approach to get what they want, people put it down to the better life. A lot of them just have no sense of right or wrong.
Frankly I think people should get a life and leave the "illegal immigrants alone"If you think about it The US would be in alot of trouble if all illegal immigrants were deported because some of them do pay taxes and cant file on them soooo guess what that is FREE MONEY that our government is getting to give to other countries to build warfare to kill our troops.
Can somebody please tell me where it is that illegals go to get all of this benefits? I know many of them and I'm sure they would really appreciate those benefits. It is ridiculous how many of you inconsiderate people make up all this bull****. Besides, it is nobody but your "own" people the ones that hire illegals and than expect them to survive with $3 or $4 an hour and still complain when they go to a hospital during an emergency. And about that wall that most of you are dying to have separating the border, that wall won't get done until some illegals build it because you lazy as**s would never do it on your own.
Well, first off everyone who applied for Medicaid has to verify citizenship. Illegals with no paperwork, or who have not been here long enough do NOT get medicaid.

Yes, some illegals get food stamps- not for themselves, but for their american born children. The children can't apply and use the benefits for themselves, the adult does that. So there are instances where you might have an illegal immigrant mother who has a food stamp case, but the only people who are ISSUED the benefits are the legal immigrants and the citizens in the family.

I am a caseworker in the welfare office in Texas, and we see this all the time. I've certified many a case where of a household of 6, only ONE person is getting benefits ($155 is the max food stamp allottment for one person, btw).
According to the links listed below...
About 40% of illegal aliens are on welfare.
Cost to US taxpayers is about $55,000 each, over and above their tax contributions.
Main cause of emergency rooms and hospitals closing as well as service cut backs introduction of third world diseases. You don't have to have Medicaid to go to an emergency room for free health care....that is paid for by our tax dollars.

Illegal immigration is not a racial issue....too many here seem to want to put that label on it
Illegal immigration is an AMERICAN SECURITY ISSUE.
