They are not entitled to foodstamps and neither are they entitled to any other economic assistance.

Maybe we can agree that nobody, citizen or not, is entitled to foodstamps. I would prefer that nobody recieved taxpayer funded food, housing, loans, grants, or money because they are disabled, unemployed, or retired.

Many arguments I read about illegal immigration focus on the amount of money needed to supply illegals with all the socialist goodies that American citizen feed on. I prefer to focus on the problem (socialism run amok) rather than the symptom (illegals getting a piece of the social spending pie.)

I can agree with this although the original intent of foodstamps and welfare was for single unemployed mothers who were natural born citizens.

Maybe just abolish the income tax as it is communist in structure. Taxing somebody's wages to give partly to another is a violation of due process. But that's a separate issue.
