Illegals are getting free childcare. Illegals are getting free education. Illegals are getting free tax credits. Illegals are getting free healthcare. Illegals are getting free housing assistance. Illegals are getting free legal representation. Illegals are getting free mental health services. Illegals are getting free college tuition in over a dozen states.

Fact

Undocumented individuals are not eligible to vote, and there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Undocumented individuals are not eligible for SNAP benefits, traditional Medicaid, or federal housing assistance programs like Section 8.

Despite paying tens of billions in federal taxes every year, undocumented individuals are largely barred from receiving federal tax credits, as most require a Social Security number.
