Can an illegal alien while working under a false name and receiving welfare under her real name be found guilty of welfare fraud?
absolutely, not only can she be convicted of welfare fraud she can also be forced to pay back every single penny to welfare including foodstamps, and health care, and she will never be allowed to receive welfare again, clearly not worth the riskAnswerIf you're an illegal alien I'd think they'd probably just send you back. If you're illegal and the authorities discover you and report you to the INS you get sent back. I doubt you could get all the way to trial without being discovered. You wouldn't be able to be found guilty of welfare fraud, because they wouldn't let you stay for the court hearing. You'd get a deportation hearing but unless you're really a citizen and have proof of citizenship it's just a formality. However, they might seize all your assets under the fake name when you are deported.
