Thread: Study: 57% of Immigrant Households with Children Use Welfare

God, these (mod edit) make me want to hurl. The rest of us have to work our asses off just to get by and they get it handed to them. Maybe once the 99r's get cut off we might see some upheaval. Maybe once they see thier parent's SS cut off we might see some action.

For now, too many still "comfortable" and unaffected....

Those who asked "not what their country could do for them, but what they could do for their country" are now seeing what their country did to them.

Nothing new here

Most of us have known for years the illegals use their anchors for all the bennies

All politicians should be held accountable for the cost of their attempts to undermine, and corrupt this Great Country or Ours! President Obama has increased the attempt to cross our border with his pandering to illegals to the point that our Border patrol agents lives are in jeopordy like never before! His opinions and comments carry alot of consequence to the lives of many! The cost to social services has increased to the point that states can no longer predict growth in required budgets. This continued posturing for votes should be addressed in our houses of Congress! I know that most of us that peruse this site are aware of all of this, and that we do all that we can. Try as I might, I can`t fathom any better way to bring this cost to us better than carrying our property tax and state tax statement with me to hand to those who represent us! Ask that they answer for the cost of the choices that they make!

Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania (59%).

How are illegal immigrants eligible to receive welfare benefits and foods from the WIC program when our Vets are sleeping out in the cold weather and homeless and thousands of jobless citizens are suffering from not being able to afford medications and purchase enough food to stay healthy? I have heard many unemployed citizens say they have applied for welfare benefits and cannot receive food stamps or Medicate because they do not have a part time job, working 30 hours weekly or young children in their homes.

And who put a law into effect that prevents Social workers from requesting information about persons applying for benefits residential status? Social Service employees are blocked from gathering information pertains to immigrant’s legal status, why? There are not any laws legislated that have made illegal aliens legal immigrants in this Country, unless I have missed something?

Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.

Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising.


Basically, the majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania (59%).

The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).

Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship. On the other hand, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income.

The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.

Americans are eligible because Americans pay the taxes.
Illegals in most case do not pay the same amount of taxes that they get from the programs like WIC, Welfare and Food stamps.

If they did, how come CALIFORNIA is so broke.

The monies and programs are suppose to be for americans ONLY

Patrioticpeach gives me a reason to think he or she has a problem with stricter laws against illegal aliens?

THat is why we have to deport all illegal aliens. THey are using our tax dollars. Deport them now.

Substitute "anchor babies" for "U.S.-born children," and you see why the 'Bamacrats refusal to deport families will result in our being colonized by people whom we do not even need.

Americans flocked to job openings at Ranchers Markets and the Pei Wei and Chipotle restaurant chains, when those companies had to get rid of illegals. But not deporting their illegal anchor babies guarantees that those same illegals can receive welfare in thier anchor babies names.

The authors of the 14th Amendment were clear about its not pertaining to people who had any other allegiance. I don't know how we got away from that, but the U.S. and Canada are the only two countries which still permit the birthright citizenship lunacy.

A new Center for Immigration Studies report finds that 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant -- legal or illegal -- that include children younger than 18 use at least one welfare program. But just 39 percent of such native households do so.

The report, based on U.S. Census Bureau data, notes that many welfare dollars aid immigrants' children who are citizens by virtue of U.S. birth. But 56 percent of immigrant households whose children were born abroad use welfare.

Pennsylvania's immigrant-household welfare use rate -- 59 percent -- is the third-highest among the states.

CIS says most immigrants come here to work but use welfare.

"This means giving businesses access to large numbers of less-educated workers can come at a significant cost to taxpayers," the report says.

It suggests basing legal immigration on education levels to lessen taxpayers' burden. That should be a no-brainer.

Amnesty for illegal aliens would be contrary to the rule of law, of course, and would only exacerbate the problem. But America also should admit fewer legal immigrants and be more selective about who gets in so taxpayers don't end up supporting their children.
