First, they're conflating legal and illegal immigration to both confuse their readers and strike undue fear into legal immigrants, but they also failed to realize that this article either openly admits that illegals are recieving taxpayer-funded welfare benefits, which contradicts liberal talking points that illegals are not a drain on the system as they do not qualify for such benefits, or is FAKE NEWS.

Quote:Myth #3: They drain the system
Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law, even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years.
