They can NEVER qualify for citizenship, nor can any child they spawn born here;
They can NEVER qualify for or receive any government benefits, including welfare, SNAP, social security disability and medicaid;
If injured on the job they would participate in worker's comp, and their employers would pay to cover them, same as for a citizen; and
They need not pay federal, state or city income tax on wages, or they pay at a much reduced rate.
