Federal law bans aliens residing without authorization in the United States from most federal benefits; however, there is a widely held perception that many unauthorized aliens obtain such benefits. The degree to which unauthorized resident aliens should be accorded certain rights and privileges as a result of their residence in the United States, along with the duties owed by such aliens given their presence, remains the subject of debate in Congress. This book focuses on the policy and legislative debate surrounding unauthorized alien’s access to federal benefits. (Imprint: Novinka )
