Immigrants’ children eligible for services even if parents aren’t

“Although most immigrants ”” legal and illegal ”” arent eligible for government services such as Medicaid, welfare and Social Security, many of their children are.

Thats because the estimated 900,000 illegal immigrants in Florida have about 122,000 children who are U.S. citizens, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

As U.S. citizens, these children are eligible to apply for any government-funded program.”
