I agree that services should only be available to people who are here legally and are paying taxes. I'm just not sure of how we can get there without turning the country into the very thing a lot of us are fighting against.
First step is to control the borders.
How to ensure only people who are authorized to receive social services, when applying I think it would be appropriate to determine if a person is in fact eligible for said services and yes this would include "papers please" requirements.
In my state for example to get a DL renewal now requires proof of who you are so why should it be different for someone who is in the country illegally?
I believe there are times when having to ID yourself is required, I don't believe doing so to cross a TSA Checkpoint is one of those times since a person is not requesting anything from the government, local, state or federal.
