Not to mention, there's absolutely no legal means to block naturalized citizens from ANY benefits that 'US Born' citizens receive, in fact it's Unconstitutional to do so.

(13,870 posts)4. They are rolling out the old lie
That every illegal in the country automatically gets more than $3,000 a
month in public assistance. That does not happen. Without a social security card or green card you are not eligible for ANY govt assistance.
But 90% of the Trumpers would swear that anyone can walk across the border and be handed a check.

The law above says illegals can only get emergency medical care and a couple other minor benefits. I think they can get disaster relief if they are in a declared disaster like a flood. Maybe thats what he means, that temporary relief?
