2. It irritates me that some of the money is going to criminal LEGAL citizens. Scofflaws, scoundrels, rogues, thieves, burglars, wife-abusers, sexual molesters - they're ALL getting this money. That bothers me a lot more than the occasional slip-up in accounting that gives an undocumented kid money, because there are a lot more of Americans who commit criminal acts in our country, than there are undocumented immigrants who commit criminal acts in our country.

The American citizen who molests his daughter, to me, is more of a concern than a Christian man from Venezuela who gets his son smuggled into the USA to save his life from gang wars. Your mileage may vary, but I'd MUCH prefer to have to learn spanish to understand my new next door neighbor, than have to listen to the screams of a 10-year-old being molested by her daddy.

One criminal is not better than another. No criminal should be getting those funds. Breaking our laws must have consequences.
