    Here’s a list of all federal benefits that undocumented immigrants are eligible to receive:

    States may or may not have additional programs.

    I literally know an elderly lady who is alienated from her family in Europe and lives in California without any papers, money, or a job, and she has her own apartment and makes due somehow.

    No I’m not saying she oughta be deported or have her benefits cut or anything (she’s not living a particularly glorious lifestyle, believe me), just answering the question that was asked.
