You are correct, its hard to imagine taking needed services away from those who had the bad luck to be born on the wrong side of the border.
Still, we are going to take state money away from people who work for that state money, and take it from disabled citizens, so we can keep giving it to illegals for freebies? From a black and white stand point it seems easy, but from the humanitarian standpoint we should demand none of these get cut.
I think we should handle this with trade. Instead of making poor illegal children go without medicine we should make it very difficult to buy a foriegn built car until the economy turns around. I see trade as the only answer, we need to keep more money here and we need to stop jobs heading over-seas. More US made goods gives us and new imigrants more jobs.
We are finding out what happens when you ship your moeny and jobs to other countries right now, and the folks on the bottom are feeling it first and worst.
