Obama went to pains to note that his executive order, giving five million illegal immigrants amnesty, would not qualify them for federal benefits. But new reports are casting doubt on Obama's claims.
Despite claims to the contrary, Obama's amnesty will likely give millions of illegals access to Medicare, Social Security, and other benefits programs, several sources say.
According to The Washington Post, Obama's amnesty order will give millions of illegals the status of being "lawfully present" in the USA. This status will require them to pay taxes, but as White House spokesman Shawn Turner notes, "If they pay in, they can draw."
Supporters of Obama's amnesty claim that regardless of whether the President's policy gives illegal aliens some benefits, it won't give them access to student financial aid, food stamps, housing subsidies, or allow them to join the Obamacare exchanges.

If you like your benefits....
The American people are so generous that they don’t mind “sharing” their “benefits” with the illegals.
Well it makes sense.
They’re not guaranteed to vote Democrat unless they can access the largesse of the taxpayers.
I thought they weren’t going to get work permits, so how will they be “paying taxes”?
There! Fixed it.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Not only have the states never amended the Constitution to give the feds the power to dictate intrastate immigration policies, but neither have the states amended the Constitution to grant the feds the specific powers to regulate, tax and spend for such intrastate issues, the states uniquely having the 10th Amendment power to regulate, tax and spend for such purposes unless the states amend the Constitution otherwise.
What a mess! 8^P
As popular as FDR was, I don’t understand why he didn’t lead Congress to propose amendments to the Constitution to the states which would have granted the feds the specific powers to establish his “New Deal” programs. Instead, Constitution-ignoring FDR chose to misguide constitutionally clueless Congress to wrongly establish his federal spending programs outside the framework of the the Constitution.
Picture is worth 10,000 words.
I dont think or a minute that we’ll be sharing anything.. We’ll be giving them away
1. In exchange, illegals cannot apply for government benefits for at least 5 years from the day they get a work visa.
2. Social Security,SSI: Cannot apply.
3. Food stamps: Cannot apply.
4. Housing vouchers: Cannot apply.
5. Unemployment benefits: Cannot apply.
6. Medicaid; Cannot apply.
7. Other benefits, etc., etc., etc.
8. In summary, because they won't be allowed to pay fed and state taxes, illegals, adults and children, won't be eligible for any benefits or welfare whatsoever.
