News Illegal Immigrants Get More Welfare Than American Families

[brassmonkey]

The households of illegal immigrants receive an average of about $1,000 more annually in federal welfare benefits than do the households of non-immigrant recipients, a new analysis finds.

According to the immigration control advocacy group, Center for Immigration Studies, which breaks down federal cost data from 2012, the welfare payout to likely illegal immigrant households averages $5,692 yearly, compared with the average $4,431 welfare payout to non-immigrant households collecting the benefit.

The CIS analysis study points out illegal immigrants are barred from directly receiving welfare, but may obtain it through their U.S.-born children.

All immigrant-headed households ? legal and illegal ? receive an average of $6,241 in welfare, 41 percent more than the $4,431 received by a non-immigrant household on welfare, according to the analysis.

The total cost is over $103 billion in welfare benefits to households headed by immigrants. A majority, 51 percent, receive some type of welfare compared with 30 percent of non-immigrant U.S. households, the analysis shows.

Immigrants receiving the most in the study of 2012 figures come from Mexico and Central America, which collect an average of $8,251 yearly, 86 percent higher than the benefits used by non-immigrant households, the analysis finds.

The breakdown also shows the average immigrant household collects 33 percent more cash welfare, 57 percent more food assistance, and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars than the average non-immigrant household collecting those benefits.

Housing costs are about the same for both groups.

"While it is important for Americans to understand the rate of welfare use among immigrants, expressing that use in dollar terms offers a more tangible metric that is tied to current debates over fiscal policy. With the nation facing a long-term budgetary deficit, this study helps illuminate immigration's impact on the problem," report author Jason Richwine writes.

Misleading title, because the fed government is not giving welfare to illegal immigrants. it's giving welfare to US citizen children.

2003?????? we are not talking about citizens! if you add the illegal hispanics that chart will turn greatly

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a new report this morning on immigrant welfare use. CIS found that immigrants use far more welfare than natives do. CIS? methodology, parts of which are suspect, is what produced this result ? as we?ve pointed out to CIS multiple times. They also omitted a lot of information that would make for a better comparison between immigrants and natives. Simply put, the CIS study does not compare apples to apples but rather apples to elephants.

Most illegals hold 2-3 jobs at a time and support their family here and there.
Can't say the same for some legal residents. Lets ask brassmonkey.

This is the cost of low-wage migrants. It's happening in the UK and has been building for over 20 years.

they work under the table? they do both here. under the table and take peoples social id

[Paul Markham]

Mass migration favours the top 5%. It lowers wages, raises house prices and gives the costs to the top 30%. There are minimal saving at the retail end.

The West has no need at all for low skilled, unskilled or unemployed migrants. Yet it's been the policy of Western Governments for decades to allow it or turn a blind eye to mass migration.

Some of the top percentile will argue Westerners will not do the jobs migrants do. Bullshit. We have created a class who would rather be on benefits than pick fruit/veg, work on building sites and do jobs they choose not to. This class never existed 50 years ago.

A few individuals maybe, but not an entire section.

Removing migrants who are not essential contributors creates job vacancies, lowers crime, raise living standards, gives some people a future.

The scary part is machines are replacing human workers by the hour. Where will we be in 50 years time when even flipping and serving burgers are done by machines?

Your kind have their own social security # and still don't work.
Most blacks think 1040EZ is some sort of medical form.

No, because Vietnamese or African refugees who came over here 20 years ago didn't have any head start or financial aid and do much better than 99% of leechers, black or white. But we both know you are an idiot and failure, so I won't go into farther explanations.

Slavery has existed from before Man learnt to make metals. It has no limit and is carried out by all colours, races, creeds and religions. Even Serbs thought it was fine. They were just very bad at it.
