Complaints about illegal immigrants spurred a new Virginia law that will make such people ineligible for state or local benefits such as welfare or health care. Some illegal aliens, however, could still receive benefits from Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor.


Taxes drew lawmakers' attention, too. Oklahoma cut taxes for nearly everyone, and New York cut them for those making more than $150,000 a year. Florida cut taxes on stocks and bonds. Nevada gave a tax break to property owners, while West Virginia lowered its tax on food from six cents per dollar to five cents.


And in Missouri, complaints about homeowners' associations overly broad powers brought a law that requires associations to delete "restrictive covenant" policies that discriminate by race or religion. There had been accusations that such language remained in the laws of some associations in the Kansas City area

That should be a Federal Law IMO!

agreed :thumbsup:

as for the US providing for all these little illegal kids, i see no reason why we should provide for them at all, do other countries have this type of backwards thinking?

I don't have any kids of my own because I cannot afford to raise them myself just yet. If someone else is coming into this country illegally, with little to no money, they shouldn't expect me to take care of their kids for them. They aren't my responsibility.
