How does every illegal immigrant have more rights than you? Mind to clarify?
- coldtea 10y agoThey get to stay in the country, work, some welfare etc, but without having to go through the system in the same bureaucratic way.
- q75ir082hq 10y agoIn what way do illegal immigrants get more welfare? I'm aware the some programs are restricted for legal immigrants (pending some waiting period or citizenship), but to my knowledge they are more restricted for those without legal status.

- dang 10y agoPlease don't create many obscure throwaway accounts. HN is a community. Anonymity is fine, but users should have some consistent identity that other users can relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be an entirely different forum.
- q75ir082hq 10y agoAlright, I'll stop making new accounts (I may need to make one more, since I haven't saved the passwords for any of them). This will reduce my propensity to comment due to anxiety about the sum-is-greater-than-its-parts nature of information disclosures.

- nighthawk24 10y agoIllegal immigrants do not have to go through the bureaucratic immigration system, spend 1000s of dollars to fly in-out for visa stamping, live in uncertainty of becoming an illegal or be banned to enter the US, illegals can also work multiple jobs in any state, take time off/not pay minimum visa wage or taxes to maintain visa, etc. Of course they have to live in fear of deportation and have broken families(many legals have this fear too).
