Answer:
No, illegal immigrants do not get welfare benefits, nor ANY government benefit.
Answer:
This is not entirely true. Hospitals are required by The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) to provide emergency treatment to anyone in need, regardless of citizenship status.
Also, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) that the state cannot refuse funding to educate children of illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens who give birth in the U.S. become parents to U.S. citizens, which provides access a wide range of welfare benefits, such as cash payments, food stamps, Medicaid, free school lunch, head start, childcare credits, public housing, etc. Aliens granted amnesty are likewise eligible for benefits.
