| Of course we have standards regarding people who apply for visas and green cards with which to enter the country upon. Would you give a visa to someone who wants to enter into the US without education or job qualifications in mind? We don't want to bring people into this country who are just going to leech from our welfare system, or at the most only take fast food jobs here for the rest of their lives. That is why we provide people who are simply looking for farm and other work with green cards in the first place.
In California you are not required to have a green card, visa, social security number or the like to receive aid from welfare; to be eligable, you only need have dependents.
One of the reasons other countries don't get as many illegal immigrants is because they don't offer as many benefits to them as we do here, for one thing. :P
Also, considering I just got finishing doing a living trust and preparing several deeds for a woman the other day who resides here illegally, I can tell you for a fact that illegals CAN (and do) own property. Not only that, but they can setup living trusts and the like for their children as well, obviously.
I would say that you seem to be misinformed.
