Report: More than half of immigrants on welfare

[Revmitchell]

More than half of the nation's immigrants receive some kind of government welfare, a figure that's far higher than the native-born population, according to a report to be released Wednesday.

About 51% of immigrant-led households receive at least one kind of welfare benefit, including Medicaid, food stamps, school lunches and housing assistance, compared to 30% for native-led households, according to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration.

Those numbers increase for households with children, with 76% of immigrant-led households receiving welfare, compared to 52% for the native-born.

Well, there's one more promise from Obama that proved to be just the opposite of what he told us?! He said illegals would not collect any tax paid benefits. But he also told us if we liked our insurance we could keep it!?

Cali leads the way in providing benefits for illegal aliens and their kids. If y'all want to see what is coming soon to your neighborhoods (states) just look westward.

I don't care who wins the white house job so long as they deport these folks and cut their freebies.

EXPERT: CURRENT POLICIES WILL CONTINUE HIGH IMMIGRANT WELFARE USE

According to Camarota, current immigration policies are contributing to the high welfare use.

“If we continue to admit large numbers of less educated legal immigrants and allow illegal immigrants to remain —most of whom also have modest levels of education — then immigrant welfare use will continue to be very high in the future. If you want to undo that, you have to vigorously enforce your immigration laws and, more important, turn to a very selective immigration system because one of the key findings is that the welfare use rates for the less educated are extremely high,” he said.

The issue is not that the immigrant households accessing these welfare benefits are not working. In fact, as Camarota noted, the vast majority of immigrant households had at least one worker in 2012, a phenomena he attributes in the report largely to the way the post-1996 welfare system has been designed — to aid low-income workers with children.

But who else would clean our toilets?

And who else would vote straight Democrat every election?

And who else would fill the otherwise empty pews of the Roman Catholic Church?
