54% of alien children, teens, on welfare, nearly half for adults

I personally dont believe anything Pro illegal immigration proponents spout, they have been proven to be lying across the board about every facet of illegal immigration.

Democrats are all for illegal immigration for VOTES and those votes will eventually outvote them and throw them out of office.


More than half of all non-citizen children and teens in the United States are receiving taxpayer-funded welfare, mostly Medicaid, while nearly half of all non-citizen adults legally in the country are on welfare, according to a new report.


In a just-released study of welfare use by U.S. born Americans, naturalized citizens and non-citizen aliens, the Migration Policy Institute found that of the 22 million non-citizens in the country, 10.3 million are on at least one welfare program.


The report said that 54.2 percent of children and teens up to age 17 receive at least one of four major public welfare benefits while its 46.3 percent for those aged 18-54 and 47.8 for older aliens.


By comparison, 32 percent of the U.S. born population of 270 million receive some welfare. Of those, 45.8 percent are children and teens, 30 percent are aged 18-54 and 22.5 percent are age 55 and older.



The report warns that the Trump administration is considering new rules that would make it difficult for immigrants to receive a green card if they or one of their dependents are receiving Medicaid, cash welfare, food stamps or Social Security benefits.

MPI estimates that the law would have a “chilling effect” on immigration and cut welfare use by aliens significantly, likely what the Trump administration wants to hear.
According to the report:



Although it is difficult to estimate precisely how many people would alter their behavior in response to the proposed change in public-chart policy, if immigrants’ use patterns were to follow those observed during the late 1990s there could be a decline of between 20 percent and 60 percent -- and that even some members of groups exempt from the new rule [e.g. refugees] would likely withdraw from pubic programs.

In 2008, it used to be 5 million illegals were on some welfare program and now it has increased to 22 million. This has got to stop now.

They lie about everything. You know that outrage with a kid in a cage the news is showing? That was actually a protest for illegals in TX and they put the child in there and took a picture claiming that is border control to the rights. That little boy was running outside of it too. Two fake pictures came out last week, that one and the one with the child crying while border patrol was arresting his dad. The media knows the pictures are fake but they keep saying child in a cage.

Elimination of about 33 % of those costs would more than pay for a wall on the border.

Even Fox played along with that picture of the little boy in a cage. Anyone with half a brain knows it's false. Then they run to conservatives and say "what do you think about this"? Justify this crewel behavior. Pastor would Jesus be ok with this, Sessions says it's in the Bible.

Most people know these people get food stamps, subsized housing kicking out Americans who need help.

The deception of the media and those who know those were lies are despicable.

And don't forget free healthcare and education. Add to that the fact that they have to be taught in Spanish making it even more expensive and taking away citizens children.

One other thing... Did any of the progressives speak out about the children riding on top of boxcars all the way across Mexico. Did Mexico give a damn about those children's safety?
