Illegals certainly don't have ss numbers, so why is this even an issue for those that seem butthurt over it? They can't get assistance that way. Charities might help, but that's short term.
I worked with a handful of illegal immigrants in the past, and they had social security numbers, whether they were real ones or not I don't know. Most said a lawyer helped them out one way or another. Though they never collected welfare or any other government help as far as I know. The ones that I knew lived 10 to a 2 bed room apartment, worked 2 jobs, and save as much as possible. One did tell us that some one offered him some aide ( brain is foggy so I forget which department they were from), but he ended up kicking him out of his house because he didn't want a government handout. I'm not saying it's happening or not happening, just sharing what I know from my experience.
