108. I'm a permanent resident. I have no legal standing.
When I became a permanent resident I was eligible for those benefits and I paid into the state and federal taxes that fund those programs. I don't suppose you think I should get a refund, do you? I don't, but it is a clear signal to anyone who is bright and who contributes - don't ever come to the USA and if you do get a scholarship ( as I did) don't stay and repay it with community services and taxes. They'll just bend you over a barrel.

And I get to pay taxes to support billionaires while others go without. Divide and conquer has found a convert in you. Whether you get paid or not you are now working for the Koch bros.
