Benefits for illegals

President Obama’s plan to offer amnesty to undocumented immigrants allows them to have social security cards, which in turn makes them eligible for child tax credit, child care credits and earned income credits. A person must be working to qualify for these tax credits. This means that a family of four with an income of $20,000 will receive another $10,000 in credits even though they pay no income tax. They also qualify for free health care under Obamacare. They also qualify for Energy Assistance Program to help pay for utilities, Family Investment Program offers both cash and food assistance, Head Start which is government day care for ages zero to five, free school breakfast and lunch, Special Milk Program, Nutrition for Women’s, Infants and Children, Weatherizing Assistance and Summer Food Service providing free food to children during summer time. This should help to answer the question as to how someone could live on minimum wage but it does nothing to provide jobs. I am all for these benefits but once again how they will be paid for must be explained. Both sides recognize that the president's actions will give a legal benefit to people who are afoul of the law. Undocumented immigrants granted deferred action will also get permanent Social Security cards, despite their temporary, quasi-legal status in the country.
