Uncle Sam is helping illegal immigrants more than our brave troops

The US does a lot to help illegal aliens, even giving them pre-paid credit cards. At the same time, our troops struggle to pay their bills, especially while they are deployed.

Meanwhile, in New York, illegal migrants are about to be given prepaid debit cards — each person receiving about $360 monthly — which for a family of four would be roughly $1,440 per month. Thus, while an average military family is suffering from a deficit of $1,860 over a period of nine months, a similarly sized illegal migrant family is being given nearly seven times more by virtue of illegally occupying the country.  Bess Blackburn is editor-in-chief of Political Philosophy at "The Liberty Journal of Statesmanship & Public Policy" and a researcher and writer.

Then there is the American service member — who not only obeys the rule of law but puts his or her life on the line to protect it and our way of life. How is it that in New York, illegal migrants receive better compensation than American service members do while deployed overseas?
