Where are the facts/stats upon which you're basing this statement?

And best believe that undocumented residents have access to funds (and I'm not talking about drug related income). I work for a nonprofit that uses pay stubs to validate income. When you have no pay stub, you qualify for a lot. Meanwhile, some of these families are driving nicer cars than mine and carrying designer handbags. I don't fault them at all. They're just being American and, truth be told, they don't have the same liberties I do. But, wouldn't it be nice to be able to get a little of that change to pay for programs like the ones my nonprofit provides?
Yes, I do believe.

I beg to differ. Let grown folks do what grown folks wanna. And tax the HELL out of it.
