Immigration is in essence, a different story and yes it sucks that illegals would get all of these benefits, but illegal immigration seems to be horrendously managed in both the US and the UK and until Government knuckles down to do something about this, I don't see how denying the rest of the American population to spite the noise of some 15 million illegal South Americans is constructive.
