Anchor babies give benefits to illegals

Ooopsie, Rush, still proving over and over and over that he simply does not understand how things work.

Ignorance is not bliss.
It is embarassing for him!

Payments to minors, or which benefit minors (including new babies being born) are not payable to the minor. They are paid through a guardian.
Whether or not the guardian is legal or not does not change the fact that THE BENEFIT IS FOR THE MINOR.

Obviously Rush has never assisted anyone applying for benefits, or he would know that documentation of legal status is required.

Nopsie, Rush, you prove you are completely clueless as to how the relationship between a beneficiary and a guardian work.

It is the LEGAL CHILD(ren) who qualifies and who is the sole basis for determining and paying benefits.

Sorry, you sound like a whiny husband when a hard working wife gets money for the children after she left his sorry behind, and he disagrees with how she spends it.

It is the CHILD's money, but the child cannot manage it and the guardian spends it.
The benefit is determined based on the CHILD.

Are you really going to admit that you don't have a clue about how this works?

Hey Rush - the issue of whether or not we SHOULD have welfare for children (that we don't create) is a separate issue, one I'll be glad to discuss another time.

My mention of child support was an EXAMPLE of how someone gets a benefit for someone else, even if the payee doesn't always agree with how it is handled or spent. Sorry that was so hard to grasp.

The issue I was responding to Rush about was, since we do provide those benefits, the fact is that one must be a U.S. Citizen (or legal alien) to qualify for them.

That is it.

PERIOD.

A child born in the U.S. is a U.S. Citizen, and will continue to be so until you can get a Constitutional Amendment passed.

The name of the payee on the check is IRRELEVANT.
It is the U.S. Citizen that qualifies.
Direct?
Indirect?
Oh, please, grow up.
It is for the child and only for a child who qualifies.
