Census confirms: 63 percent of ‘non-citizens’ on welfare, 4.6 million households
A majority of “non-citizens,” including those with legal green card rights, are tapping into welfare programs set up to help poor and ailing Americans, a Census Bureau finding that bolsters President Trump’s concern about immigrants costing the nation.
Good news for the far left. The parasitic nature of Liberalism at work.

The “Native” numbers are remarkably even across the listed states. I would think the disparities with the others are a failure to assimilate in American society, and not having much in marketable skills.
Hmmmmm..I wonder where the REAL Native Americans fit in, in this study?
Ask Little Phil Sheridan, or maybe ‘Cump Sherman. /s/
Not sure but I think all of their #s may be lumped into a different pocket of Unka Sugga’s money. BIA got absorbed into another dprt awhile back IIRC.
4.6 million households equates to how many foreign people that we are supporting? And sadly, this doesn’t include our home grown deadbeats.
Get off your ass, stub out your Camel, pick up your spawn and go back to straighten out the shit hole you left.
Pissed off yet working person?
Ask Elizabeth Warren……
So now I’m a native.
Is that like a cis-citizen?
Hereafter, I shall refer to these people as Bruno Maglis or OJ Shoes. Ask if you don’t know.
Dammit. I was hoping for one. Wait. What’s that? Oh, sure, no problem. The reference is to imported loafers.
How many of the freeloaders are not from Mexico? About as many as there are New Englanders with a southern drawl.
Now, now, now, Bro A/C shorely y’awl ain’t a be speaking about how we’awl taalk dooown heeeah now air ye?
I mean cheeseandrice yooouse guys, are we going to drive the cahr or walk? “grin”

As a eligibility worker in a southern state, I can first hand tell you, if you do not meet citizenship requirements, you do NOT qualify for welfare in this state. We verify social security numbers through the SSA and if they don’t come back clean…you aint getting shit. Unfortunately, if you have children who ARE citizens they DO qualify. Same with Medicaid.
This is the right answer, it’s the anchor babies that alter the system and reveal the reality of the true cost of illegal immigration.
Whether we choose to bear that cost out of a sense of decency or not is something we can debate as a nation but the numbers don’t lie and the cost factor leaves a negative for the nation imbalance when contrasted against contributions.
Pretty much. It’s a slippery slope but i’m bound by current policy. But when I get to factor illegal mom/dad’s income into a HH of 4 and make it an eligle HH of 2 it does tend to make it a little easier. I don’t bear ill will towards the kid(s). They didn’t ask to be in this situation.
The same with Medicaid. An undocumented alien can apply for Medicaid but unless it’s a life/death/loss of limb/eyesight situation they typically will not be found eligible for the visit/hospital stay. On the same end of the spectrum, if an undocumented alien visits our office applying for benefits we cannot alert authorities of their undocumented status. Go figure.
And what happens to the illegals who DO have SSAN’s that pass muster? They get the bennies, right?
Your system, Jay, is better than nothing, but can any system really stop all illegals from collecting bucks, sometimes very big bucks, from the rest of us? Well, other than simply denying them entry in the first place, that is.
“But they just want jobs!”
My ass.
In many cases they have jobs either legal or under the table. If there were data on the so called refugees the percent on welfare would probably be higher. Although there may be an overlap in the groups.
TOW: Turns out that the jobs they want that Americans don’t is standing on a welfare line.
About 15 years ago a group in Los Angeles figured out that at least 30 percent of the workforce was paid under the table.
So the other 70 percent have to not only pay their share, but pick up half again that much for the folks not kicking in.
I can’t imagine that number has improved much since then.
So here’s the other component that’s buried in those numbers, those illegals who don’t get welfare? Well if they have the anchor baby, the anchor baby qualifies for citizenship and assistance so the “non-native” households with no “natives” over 21 can include some illegal parents and a US Citizen child.
It’s inline with a different report that indicates while illegals and families with illegals pay into the tax system the benefits they draw out leave a significant imbalance.
Those who continually explain there’s no cost to illegals being here are either misinformed or deliberately inaccurate.
We can always debate the merits of helping illegals as a matter of national policy, but the reality is they cost the nation more than they contribute contrary to the left’s constant yammering to the contrary.
Everybody surprised raise your hand. Bueller? Bueller?
This my surprised face … :O
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free…” So reads The New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.
Sometimes in life you actually do get what you ask for! Welcome to America.
It does say that. But it does not say come here illegally…..I think the French knew that saying would screw us somehow.
It’s a sonnet, not immigration law or policy. Liberals seem to forget that.
Additionally it assumed those coming in would actually work and not be a burden. Those who would be a burden weren’t let in typically even when we had almost no immigration laws early in the last century, those likely to be charity cases were refused entry.
People forget the “pursuit” of happiness involves some work and no guarantees of obtaining said happiness. You are free to work in the field of your choosing but it’s assumed you’ll actually work and contribute not arrive and be a fucking parasite.
“…So reads The New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus, inscribed on the Statue of Liberty.”
At a port of legal entry.
It doesn’t say “Give me your drug dealers, your pimps, your hustlers looking for an easy free ride “.
Wait, I thought they were all doctors and engineers and entrepreneurs?
4.6 million families …
So if each family gets $10k/yr, that’s 46 Gigabucks/yr we should have to spend.
Suspect it’s significantly more than $10k/yr.
That is: ” … NOT have to spend.”
Wha happened? I heard years ago that illegals don’t qualify for welfare bennies, and that legal immigrants have to show they will be supported by a sponsor or family member so they won’t be a drain on public welfare and services. Does this mean someone was lying to us about “immigrants,” that are “undocumented” and otherwise.
