Most of the benefits we make available to illegal immigrants have been ordered by whacko, left-wing federal judges. Once that happens, a state has a choice to comply of face a very long, bitter fight in federal court. Since all governors have backbones with the strength of overcooked linguine when it comes to standing up to Washington, we simply place illegals on the TANF and Medicaid rolls, and start printing our official documents in Spanish. Unless we amend the Constitution to require native birth AND both parents being here legally, the problem of "anchor babies" complicates the issue and makes chances for reform even slimmer. After all, that baby IS a citizen, so he or she immediately rates WIC and food vouchers, Medicaid, etc. Most meaningful reform must start in Washington, but when you talk about amending the Constitution and all federal law to the detriment of illegal aliens, the majority of politicians will balk. The Democrats want their votes and the Republicans want their cheap labor. Until we break the stranglehold the two corrupt parties have on our nation, nothing will change.
