9. Something I explained to a similar person

Was that legal, asylum seeking immigrants do get some assistance with food and housing. That's where the Magats get this stuff. If you try to acknowledge what they say that way, and then explain that undocumented immigrants do not get that help, you might make a small dent. Also, if people are here illegally, they don't want to be found by the government. In order to receive any benefits, they would have to sign up for them! Which would let ICE know where to find them.

I know. I'm making sense here. Silly me.
