Why do the working poor get nada?

Also, aren't many of the illegal immigrants also working poor?

Because there is a huge class of people here who make to much money to qualify for aid but their jobs do don't pay enough for them to afford insurance or the job does not offer insurance for them or their families.

Illegals don't pay taxes on their income. They claim no income. They get to fall into the lowest class and take advantage of the system in place that should be helping the legal citizens who are poor. The system is filled with holes.

No, They are not US citizens! Thats the point. The services which are designed and allocated for our citizens are being taken by citizens from other countries.
