Thread: Welfare Use by Immigrant Households with Children

it is so disgraceful the way the immigration issue is debated in the MSM. Illegal immigration to a large extent legal immigration debates don't really revolve around immigration per se but around Hispanic politics. That is not good for Americans (and that includes Americans of Hispanic heritage) and Hispanics.

Thank you for your Help I call . ty again
God bless you

Id like to see that chart with the estimits of illegel alien population per state as well to get an idea of how many people are taking advantage of our system and send that off to the politicians who represent us and see how they make excuess about that

I'd be curious to see how this compares with immigrants from other than Latin American countries.

Welfare spending is projected to skyrocket over the next 10 years, costing taxpayers $10.3 trillion and driving the United States toward bankruptcy. To make matters worse, a new report shows that the United States is seeing large percentage of its immigrant population exacting a costly toll on the welfare roles. According to Steven A. Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies:

In 2009 (based on data collected in 2010), 57 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal and illegal) with children (under 1 used at least one welfare program, compared to 39 percent for native households with children.

Camarota also notes that low education among immigrant-headed households is part of the problem:

Of households headed by an immigrant who has not graduated high school, 80 percent access the welfare system, compared to 25 percent for those headed by an immigrant who has at least a bachelor’s degree.

With means-tested welfare spending approaching $1 trillion per year and 15 percent ($100 billion per year) of total spending going to households headed by immigrants with high school degrees or less, limiting low-skill immigration is one way to tackle the problem. The Heritage Foundation’s Katherine Bradley and Robert Rector write:

Government policy should limit future immigration to those who will be net fiscal contributors, paying more in taxes than they receive in benefits. The legal immigration system should not encourage immigration of low-skill immigrants who would increase poverty in the nation and impose vast new costs on already overburdened taxpayers.

In addition, the government should not provide amnesty or “earned citizenshipâ€
