Do you think immigrants are only interested in welfare?

That's the line from the right, but is it true? The only immigrants I know (I don't know whether they're illegal or not) are very hard-working. So going by anecdotal evidence, I would say "no".

My one qualm would be they all seem to have large families and their families keep getting larger. Seems like if your financial resources are limited, you might put less of an emphasis on a large family, but I'm just saying. That happens with "native born" Americans as well.

Except immigrants don't get welfare until they become citizens.

This is a red herring argument

@Hoosierxdaddy62 Part of why I doubt the argument that immigrants are only coming here for "free stuff".

@Hoosierxdaddy62 The only "free stuff" they get is kid-related free stuff. Access to public schools, access to school meal assistance, maybe some child healthcare, like CHIP here in PA?

Thats pretty much it though, they are not getting free housing and welfare checks as some would have you believe.
