Here is my point. Let's say ma and pa border jumper comes here and has three kids. The three kids are citizens, the partents are not. This constitutes one illegal alien household. They don't get welfare et al for one child, but for three. Again, this is one household. Eliminate the check, and it is no longer enticing for the parents, and three children, to stay. That's five people that would leave the country(two illegal aliens and three citizens), and three times the welfare savings.
