My argument isn't against legal residents, legal immigrants or immigrants in waiting - simply illegal immigrants who reside here and receive numerous benefits, many times without working.

Illegal aliens can receive workers compensation if they are injured on the job. If you are working for your employer when you are injured, you are eligable for worker's compensation regardless of your residential status.

As for owning property, you don't need to even be in the US to own property. I have done a trust for someone in the past who left their estate to a relative in Germany. There are no laws regarding residenceship in order to own property in the US because of this. Likewise, there are many corporations from out of the country whom buy property in the US to operate their business here as well.
