More Than Half of Immigrants on Welfare���But Lots Of Native-Born Citizens Are, As Well

According to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, slightly over half of all homes in America with an immigrant head-of-household are receiving some form of government assistance, while roughly 30 percent of homes with native-born heads-of-households are receiving such assistance. When looked at through the lens of households that have children, the numbers jump for both immigrant- and native-born-led households: of those, 76 percent of immigrant households are receiving government assistance, compared to 52 percent of native-born households.

Numbers like these will surely add fuel to the growing fire over immigration and immigration policies in America. Clearly, these are concerning statistics���but I would wager that the numbers with respect to non-immigrant households are more concerning; think about it ��� 30 percent of native-born-led households are on the public dole, in some form or fashion? And if you look solely at those with kids, the number is over 50 percent?

It stands to reason that, at any given time, a higher percentage of immigrants would be on welfare, as opposed to native-born citizens; it���s not surprising that people who come to the United States will tend to need a little help getting stabilized when they first arrive. More concerning are the numbers, as a whole, and especially as they apply to natives, people who have been here from birth; the fact that there are so many native-born-led households in America receiving government money, in the form of basic assistance programs like Medicaid and food stamps, is extremely worrisome. The real story is that the numbers are as high as they are, presently, for any group; right before our eyes, the nation is being transformed into a socialist state, and what is so stunning is the lack of any real uproar from the people about it. Have we actually reached the point of no return?
