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.
Here's the thing, dude.

Once you "allow' them in, then they really aren't/weren't illegal, are they? I thought you were supposedly a lawyer.
