    Should Tax Dollars Be Used On Welfare For Illegal Aliens?

    Should Tax Dollars Be Used On Welfare For Illegal Aliens?



    The Center For Immigration Studies recently revealed some shocking statistics involving immigrants and welfare. They discovered that 51% of immigrant-headed households used at least one government assistance program. This includes food stamps, medical assistance, and cash.

    Their study showed:
    “1. The average household headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) costs taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare benefits, which is 41 percent higher than the $4,431 received by the average native household.
    “2. The average immigrant household consumes 33 percent more cash welfare, 57 percent more food assistance, and 44 percent more Medicaid dollars than the average native household. Housing costs are about the same for both groups.
    “3. At $8,251, households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico have the highest welfare costs of any sending region — 86 percent higher than the costs of native households.
    Illegal immigrant households cost an average of $5,692 (driven largely by the presence of U.S.-born children), while legal immigrant households cost $6,378.
    “4. The greater consumption of welfare dollars by immigrants can be explained in large part by their lower level of education and larger number of children compared to natives. Over 24 percent of immigrant households are headed by a high school dropout, compared to just 8 percent of native households. In addition, 13 percent of immigrant households have three or more children, vs. just 6 percent of native households.
    “5. The overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants have modest levels of education; therefore, the high use of welfare associated with less-educated legal immigrants indicates that legalization would likely increase welfare costs, particularly for cash and housing programs.
    “6. Restrictions on new legal immigrants’ access to welfare have not prevented them from accessing programs at high rates because restrictions often apply to only a modest share of immigrants at any one time, some programs are not restricted, there are numerous exceptions and exemptions, and some provisions are entirely unenforced. Equally important, immigrants, including those illegally in the country, can receive welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children.
    But supporters of welfare would argue that the United States is the richest country in the world and we can afford to help those less fortunate. They also argue that we have a moral obligation to help illegal immigrants because they come from countries with fewer opportunities.
    So what do you think? Should your tax dollars go towards welfare for illegal immigrants?

    No welfare should go to any immigrant, legal or illegal. Any legal immigrants who are not self-sufficient should be denied entry for work or residency in the United States. Period.

    Should we even be asking this question?

    Only humanitarian aid until they can be deported.
