Original Note:
NNN. OP is correct, undocumented migrants do not receive any aid from the federal government. However, state laws may differ (etc. NY, CA) which DO provide assistance to undocumented immigrants. Basically, it is at the discretion of state officials, not at the federal level. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/welfare-benefits-for-non-citizens/#:~:text=The%201996%20reforms%20changed%20almost,for%20at%20least%20five%20years.
