A benefit of being an illegal alien

[Deleted]

It's quoted here fairly often that illegal aliens don't get benefits by liberals (conservative say they do). I thought this story was interesting. I also wonder what else they get "free" that nobody wants to admit to.

To enroll children in my border school district, a citizen is required to present more documentation than illegal immigrants are. English speaking students are also ineligible for programs offered to Spanish only speakers such as full day Pre-K. Even our school teachers can not enroll their kids in these programs and must pay for private Pre-K or daycare while they work. *photo taken by Sammy Carrejo at a demonstration of legal border residents opposing Obama’s immigration policies during his recent El Paso speech.

Yep. They not only get everything free, they have the right to protest for more.

To be honest I'm kind of shocked that they haven't tried to expand that program. After all there are "poor" neglected kids living around Mexico City too. The U.S. taxpayers could pay for them too.

You would rather have these kids in free preschool and all day kindergarten than slowing down the class in 1st - 3rd grades because they aren't fluent and aren't able to keep up.

I know that seperate but equal was a bad policy - but here is an example where everyone would win if you could just have an ESL school, or ESL classroom.

I am going to Mexico to live the good life as an illegal alien.
