“Illegals get free housing, healthcare, and welfare!”
What You Say
Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for most federal benefits — including Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI — by law. The CBO confirms noncitizens use fewer benefits per capita than native-born citizens. The claim exists to justify cruelty, not to fix a budget line that doesn't exist.
The Stab
They're not taking your benefits. They're doing jobs you won't.
