Why are the taxpayers paying to feed illegals?

I work in a grocery store and I see this daily. Illegals paying with EBT cards and WIC vouchers. We the people are being suckered by our gov't. They are inviting them here at our expense!

    They get money, not only food but rent assist and more for having anchors. In Texas where I now live, there is a tax on labor. This makes a very unfair playing ground for citizens. Some people don't want to work in a stuffy office, but our government has taken that choice away from us in favor of illegals who do not pay any kind of taxes but get lots of government benefits via their children born in the US. Even their offspring brought here from mexihole can get all sorts of gov bennies!

    I have a small service business yet I have to pay income and LABOR taxes. I have seen some people get out of such industries due to the burden of the extra tax, while every other illegal here is doing service and not paying taxes! PS I will be complaining to my congressman. Labor tax seems like taxation without representation; but then the state has a lot of illegals to feed....

    The kids are legal, but mom isn't. So she is fully eligible to get WIC for her US citizen baby.

    Ask your president.

    It's him that wants the illegals to stay.

    I am not an American,but I know welfare payments would not be made by any country to anyone who was not in the country legally and had an address ? However,If the asker thinks they are illegals he should do his public duty and report it.

    This is so racist. How would you even know they are here illegally? Do you ask them to prove they are not. I didn't know store clerks could do that.
