Later in the article, gets more to the point: (though this article also seems to be a bit anti-legal immigrant, I suspect that is 100% intentional)

"As controversy over immigration policy rages, with GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump denouncing illegal immigrants as rapists and domestic job killers, a new study issued Wednesday by a group that favors tighter controls on immigration concludes that immigrants may be freeloaders after all.

The report by the conservative Center for Immigration Studies found that households headed by immigrants — both legal and illegal — use welfare programs at a rate significantly higher than households headed by native-born Americans.

Fifty-one percent of households headed by immigrants reported using at least one welfare program during 2012, based on the latest available data provided by the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation. That compares with just 30 percent of so-called native households that avail themselves of welfare programs, according to the report."

The immigration invasion( legal and illegal) is like blight of locusts on the landscape. Time for the DDT.

Cato: “One problem he cites is that the study counts households instead of individuals” Actually, this is going to make it worse, even worse when you factor in Anchor babies

“It is not enlightening to statistically compare the welfare use rates of rich immigrants and Americans like Elon Musk or Bill Gates to poorer immigrants and Americans as the CIS report does.” ah, that’s two people, we are talking 1% of the US Population, it isn’t going to skew the numbers in a statistically significant way.

If the economy finally goes belly up for good, let’s see how liberals react to even more illegals in this country taking their blue-collar jobs.

They don’t care about preserving the culture, but I bet they care about their homes and stomachs being full.

What’s happening with this southern invasion of the entire northern hemisphere is by design.

They use the incorrect number of illegals to start.
