Conclusion
As America braces for a bruising round of political debate on the immigration issue, having a sense of which facts are accurate and which are myths will help both citizens and policy-makers. Welfare reform and immigration reform policies can change the process for obtaining public benefits and obtaining legal status, respectively.
