WASHINGTON (March 29, 2011) – A new Center for Immigration Studies report finds that, 13 years after welfare reform, the share of immigrant-headed households (legal and illegal) with a child (under age eighteen) using at least one welfare program continues to be very high. This is partly due to the large share of immigrants with low levels of education and their resulting low incomes – not their legal status or an unwillingness to work. The major welfare programs examined in this report include cash assistance, food assistance, Medicaid, and public and subsidized housing.

The findings also show wide variation in welfare use by country of origin, with immigrants from some countries making extensive use of such programs, while those from other countries have relatively low use rates. Welfare use also varies by state, with Arizona, Texas, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Oregon and Colorado having some of the highest levels of welfare use among immigrant households.

My son was out of work for 2 month & the welfar would help him

No amnesty

50.1 % Illegals

It is a disgrace to see illegals getting hand outs while citizens are turned away in their time of need. It is a disgrace that they have stolen jobs while millions of our citizens are unemployed.

ReggieMay, this chart needs to be sent to everyone who says illegals do not qualify for and therefore do not use social services...

It is going into my saved docs for just that purpose... =)
