There are over 11 million illegals in this country. The typical reaction is to give them extensive welfare, and in certain cases, job and tuition preferences over citizens.

Do you think that's the expressed intended reaction or an unintended result? My guess is it would be difficult to find any piece of document where it states something along the lines of "The goal of this program is to make this country more appealing for illegal immigrants, by offering them extensive welfare and preferential job and tuition situations, especially over those of our citizens." I think what's more likely is that you are citing unfortunate byproducts of an imperfect solution to a complicated problem. Not a "typical reaction." I'm not an expert on these things, though.

Myth status: BUSTED Illegal immigrants pay more into social security than they take out. I don't even live in your country and I know this, come on - read a book.

  >" I don't even live in your country and I know this, come on - read a book." I think that comment was uncalled. If you wanted to point out OP disinformation you could just provided the source and it would be as much effective and also would be better appreciated.

    Sorry but I'm not willing to be tolerant of intolerance. The chance of actually turning around a wilfully ignorant racist on the internet is very low; broadcasting the message "these attitudes are not socially acceptable" is easier (I suppose you could consider that prevention rather than cure?)

  That's only social security, there are many, many other programs. Illegal immigrants qualify for some of them, it depends on the state. Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeituni_Onyango http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeituni_Onyango She ignored deportation orders and managed to receive subsidized housing and a disability pension. She's not unique.
