I do not have a problem with immigrants coming to our country but (and but 
is a big word) they cannot take advantage of us and our tax dollars by 
milking programs for aid.
As in all programs I am sure there are those who need assistance and those 
who take advantage. Those that take advantage ruin it for everyone else.
Life goes on.
