No idea. Here, we do know. The UK is pledged to take
care of children so both the children of illegal
immigrants and their parents are provided with
benefits . (You want their children to starve or die
of lack of medical care?)

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas signed a new bill
into law on Thursday that will, effective July 1, make
undocumented immigrants eligible for in-state tuition
at colleges and state universities. ****To qualify for
this program, undocumented immigrants must have
attended a high school in Kansas for at least three
years, graduated or earned a general education
development certificate, and file an affidavit seeking
legal immigration status with the institution they
attend.****

Look. They can't pay taxes. Because they're illegal.
US immigration policy cherry-picks
skilled/professional workers. I'd say the nasty
attitude is the one that objects to these people's
children receiving *food* and *housing* and medical
care and education.
