On Immigration: Taking benefits from illegal immigrants sounds good

When you hear about illegal aliens getting benefits and you have people here starving to death and can't get nothing, it's just a slap in the face. When you start talking about bringing in refugees and when they get here they get medical and dental and they get set up with some funds--what do we get? So when people hear Donald Trump saying we're going to take benefits away from people who come here illegally and give them to people who work, that sounds pretty good.
