By Law, an illegal and even a legal resident (to a certain degree) cannot receive any welfare benefits. However, some illegal immigrants can get benefits by acquiring illegal social security cards (fake numbers) or from stolen social security cards (stolen identity).

On a side note, children of illegal immigrants that are born into this country are considered legal American citizens because of "Jus Soli" which means "right of the soil" (birthright) by the 14th amendment. They can receive welfare benefits and any of the privelages and rights of any American Citizen.

The way you can get deported if the ICE through the police or some other entity notifies them that a person is an illegal immigrant.

No. Most people assume that because they see an immigrant at a welfare office or social security adm, they are illegal and they are collecting benefits of some sort. Fact is, no illegal immigrant can receive government benefits.

Yes, the illegal immigrants can get welfare. The authorities are however currently cracking down on them because they deny many of the other tax payers who deserve to get welfare but don't.
