Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare
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 nonpartisanWashington 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.

There are lots of comments I could make on this subject but, to do so is like pissing in the wind.
I’m a regular white guy here in CA. I’ve been helping a 58 yr. old guy try to get back on his feet since he lost all, including his home, in a mean divorce, and sickness from running a squab business. I let him keep his only possesion on my property, his horse, otherwise he’d have to get rid of it. He needs work and works hard for me when I have a job for him. He’s also a house painter but the jobs are taken up by mexicans and it’s always the same for him, no work for you white boy. He talks to people, runs ads and does what he can to find work. He’s also trying not to hate the illegals, he says, “it aint’ good to hate people.”
We are constantly being told that illegal aliens are a benifit to our economy. I am tired of being lied to.
They’re everywhere. In my once nice neighborhood there are now 12 screaming retarded anchor babies. Their fat disgusting mamacitas just let them run wild destroying everything. They dont’ care. And it’s racist to tell them to shut the fxxk up. This is in every small town. These little piglet anchor babies grow up to become little thug gangbangers and poop out more welfare babies. They just come here to work? No these people are vermin and should all be shot. Without illegal aliens there would be plenty of money for NASA. These 3rd world piles of feces have turned the once greatest country in the world into a 3rd world toilet. All allowed by the politician to get votes. The only thing possible to do about it is to vote for politicians that agree this is an evil thing destroying the country and end it.
Well , according to Obama, it’s the right thing to do. I just hope the liberals are paying their fair share for this .
They get free cab ride to the doctor, too. I would know because I use to drive a cab. The cab companies bill the walfare insurance $3.00 per mile and pay the drive $1.50 per mile. If a specialiist is 25 miles away, do the math. There’s 500 cab drivers on the road on a day shift for the company I worked with in Phoenix.
If you want open borders, you can’t have social welfare programs. Get rid of every program. And if your born here and your parents are not citizens you don’t become a citizen.
Why do these people get benefits? Illegal immigrant means you need to be arrested and returned to where you came from. Since when is my duty to pay taxes to support other countries populations. Seems like its time to turn over a new leaf and at least arrest them and get them off welfare. Think what a savings that would be and we would then be taking care of our own citizens.
Who’s gonna call their congress critter?
