Thread: MORE THAN 10 MILLION FOREIGN NATIONALS RECEIVE TAXPAYER FUNDED WELFARE BENEFITS

MPI: More than 10 Million Foreign Nationals Receive Taxpayer-funded Welfare Benefits


Published: Thu, Jun 14^th 2018 @ 5:40 pm EDT

A recent report by the Migration Policy Institute, entitled Chilling Effects: The Expected Public Charge Ruleand Its Impact on Legal Immigrant Families' Public Benefits Use, revealed that 10.3 million out of the 22 million foreign nationals in the U.S. receive benefits from at least one welfare program funded by taxpayer dollars.

Additionally, 54.2% of foreign national children, age 17 and younger, are granted welfare benefits. The data also showed that 46.3% of foreign national welfare recipients are adults, age 18 to 54, and 47.8% are older than 54.

MPI examined a leaked draft of an executive order that would deny green cards to individuals who use public benefits, or have relatives who do. The report goes on to explain how the Trump Administration's Public Charge Rule would reduce the number of foreign nationals on welfare, cause a decrease in immigration levels, and make it more difficult for foreign nationals and their dependents to be eligible for welfare benefits.

"Although it is difficult to estimate precisely how many people would alter their behavior in response to the proposed change in public-chart policy, if immigrants' use patterns were to follow those observed during the late 1990s there could be a decline of between 20 percent and 60 percent -- and that even some members of groups exempt from the new rule [e.g. refugees] would likely withdraw from pubic programs."

More than 10 million foreign nationals live in households that receive government-funded welfare benefits, including Medicaid, TANF or SSI (cash) benefits, food stamps and/or Social Security benefits.

Can't wait to see that Executive Order announced!! Hope it's soon. Need to back it up with a law. Maybe during a budget reconciliation.

GO TRUMP GO!!

That still won't solve the welfare benefits to anchor babies.

Paul Ryan keeps mouthing off about stopping "entitlements"...well, these people are NOT entitled to OUR taxpayer funded benefits!

Cut off the 10 million of these foreigners on OUR programs!!!

Cut off the 20 million illegal aliens on OUR programs!!!



WE ARE NOT THE ATM MACHINE OR DUMPING GROUND FOR THE WORLD

WE WANT A 10 YEAR MORATORIUM ON ALL IMMIGRATION!

NO REFUGEES, NO ASYLUM, NO TPS AND NO ILLEGAL ALIENS!

WHY ARE THEY GETTING OUR SSI CASH PAYMENTS...GIVE IT BACK!

Most illegals collect welfare through their anchor babies. Medicaid, food stamps , education, and then they turn 18 and can vote. Adult illegals receive taxpayer funded prenatal care in most every health department in the country; surely they are a public charge! Birthright citizenship must be abolished.

Exactly, hattiecat, and it is so wrong.

Disgusting!

Dirty scumbag moochers sucking the American people dry!

The real reason the illegals come here is to get in on the freebies. The businesses use them and let the taxpayers pick up the slack for their care. Why doesn't our government deduct all the aid the citizens of other countries receive from the aid we give them?
