Who has more benefits? Illegals & terrorists or US Citizens?
I was wondering about this the other night and would value anyone's opinion. Left or right. When I group the term "Illegals ad Terrorists" I'm not inferring it's the same threat only the same general group. * Illegals & terrorists - medical is for free v. citizen needs to pay or be fined. * Illegals & terrorists - can apply for free housing v. citizens more and many hoops with low chances * Illegals & terrorists - can get subsistence allowances and food v. citizens - few successes with SSI * Illegals & terrorists - can get payments per dependents v. citizens may get a deduction on taxes. * Illegals & terrorists - educate their kids thru college on grants v. not that many citizens. only citizens pay the bill through property taxes. * Citizens get to serve in military and some get killed. * Illegals and terrorists - if they are accused of crime are entitled to the best lawyers in the country v. our soldiers, if accused of a crime cannot even get due process, our citizens MIGHT be given a public defender. * Illegals & terrorists - if fined, they are forgiven v. citizens..go to jail. Am I getting this wrong? Give me the other side! Help me, here!

You are 100% correct. That's why the liberals are getting such low approval ratings. America is tired of this nonsense.
Your first five reasons are basically "illegals can use fake ID to apply for benefits and then flee the country later" this is virtually interchangeable with a US citizen's right to do the same thing. Oh and property taxes? rarely go to colleges, property taxes pay for public schools. Since illegals ultimately pay rent, and through that rent property taxes for schools, it isn't much of a plus for them.
Your claim that our soldiers don't have legal council when accused of crimes is basically a bald faced lie. The claim that illegals get the best lawyers in the country is just nonsense, as anyone who has ever dealt with public defenders knows. A few rarities of a high priced lawyer taking a case for the publicity is so abnormal as to be the equivalent of winning the lotto.
Illegals and fines. they are deported, not forgiven.
Oh and skip your attempt to claim you're not demonizing illegals by lumping them with terrorists, it is basically worthless in furthering your claims. You would be better off making your arguments about illegals straight out, rather than trying to somehow make it a terrorism issue. Might as well say illegals and flesh eating cannibals every time.
Citizens get all of those, plus many, many more... There are millions of citizens who have used grants to get through college
Would you want a terrorist serving in the military? Really?
illegals and terrorist are not 'entitled' to the best attorneys. Spend some time at a court house and get back to me.
Medical isn't free for anyone... Do you realize how many citizens simply skip out on medical bills?
Citizens have access to medicaid, welfare, SSI, food stamps, etc...
You can get a public defender too, it happens all the time.
You've never spent a day in a county courthouse, you've never spent a day at a welfare/social security office. You don't know what you're talking about at all
African Americans - medical is for free v. citizen needs to pay or be fined. * African Americans - can apply for free housing v. citizens more and many hoops with low chances * African Americans - can get subsistence allowances and food v. citizens - few successes with SSI * African Americans - can get payments per dependents v. citizens may get a deduction on taxes. * African Americans - educate their kids thru college on grants v. not that many citizens. only citizens pay the bill through property taxes. * Citizens get to serve in military and some get killed, but they call the process racist. * African Americans - if they are accused of crime are entitled to the best lawyers in the country v. our soldiers, if accused of a crime cannot even get due process, our citizens MIGHT be given a public defender. * African Americans - if fined, they are forgiven v. citizens..go to jail.
My point...Illegals and terrorists get these benefits because African American get these same perts also.
Comparing U.S citizens rights with illegals and or terrorists is nothing more than propaganda ! If you believe you really must hate your government and feel the country has helped its enemies more than its citizens, that would be completely untrue and really unpatriotic. You must realize all countries go through problems the minute you believe that your country is guilty of the above actions you undermine it ! These thoughts you have will lead toward anarchy not unity of belief in our country. I don't think you really want that, do you ?
