Before we can definitely answer the big question, it’s important to understand who is qualified for welfare programs in the United States. There are certain people who are qualified for federal assistance programs. According to the National Immigration Law Center, these include: Lawful permanent residents (LPRs), popularly known as green card holders; Refugees, people who have been granted asylum or withholding of deportation/removal, and conditional entrants; People granted parole by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for at least one year; Cuban and Haitian entrants; Certain abused immigrants, their children, and/or their parents; Certain survivors of trafficking
Many of these qualified people, such as green card holders, do not fall under what the general public thinks of as “illegal immigrants”.
