But they DON’T ‘support themselves’. 57% of illegals receive at least one form of welfare, and the average illegal alien receives $14,000 more per year in social services than they pay in taxes of all kinds. They leave a trail of financial devastation from coast to coast, including bankrupt hospitals and schools, and millions of victims of their ID theft.
Whether they are sending their welfare checks to Mexico or keeping their welfare payouts and sending cash from off the books transactions makes no difference.
They draw welfare and have money that they are choosing to “do without” by sending it home.
