Since 2008, as Breitbart News reported, the U.S. has permanently resettled more than 1.7 million foreign nationals and refugees through a variety of humanitarian programs like the Special Immigrant Juveniles and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act. This is a foreign population larger than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — a city with more than 1.5 million residents.
An annual report by the Office of Refugee Resettlement was analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Jason Richwine, in which the analyst revealed that about 56 percent of households headed by foreign refugees who arrived in the U.S. between 2011 and 2015 are using taxpayer-funded food stamps.
Nearly 30 percent of refugees received cash welfare of some sort, while 34 percent of refugees 18-years-old or older said they had no health insurance. Of the refugees who said they did have health insurance, about 50 percent said they were either on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance, both of which are taxpayer-funded.
The education levels of foreign refugees coming to the U.S. are also remarkably low. Roughly half of refugees 25-years or older said they did not have a high school diploma before arriving in the U.S.
Additionally, only 16 percent of refugees 18-years or older said they were currently seeking some kind of degree. The most common degree sought by refugees is a high school diploma.
As Breitbart News‘ Michael Patrick Leahy noted most recently, President Trump’s administration has historically reduced the annual inflow of foreign refugees. Under Trump’s “America First” agenda, the U.S. is on pace to accept less than 23,000 refugees for the Fiscal Year 2018. This would be the lowest yearly refugee admission in three decades.

Only 50% wow, how encouraging...
Welcome to the New America, we got plenty of free shit here for ya!

The US should require refugees to request and be denied refugee status in a country that speaks their language, before allowing them into the US.
Bookmarked. But my very liberal daughter and granddaughter don’t believe even this figure. Too filled with hatred, too much reliance on the endless Russia-Russia-Russia-sexist-homophobe spewing from their ABCNNBCBS
I have a veteran friend that is considered 80% disabled by the VA. He can’t work right now because he having another surgery. Its to the point now where he actually broke down and applied for welfare for food. Guess how much he is eligible for per month?
$23
His disability from VA is $1552 a month which he uses to pay rent and bills...but its considered unearned income.
He’s giving up his car so he can make it.
Oh, and by the way, they have utter contempt for you as well.
American taxpayers can sacrifice a little more... Sacrifice so our corrupt 'elites' can feel magnanimous....
(God I hate these people - these nose in the air insensitive jerks - these liberal 'elites' - MSNBC bimbos... who give away what's NOT THEIRS TO GIVE AWAY SO THEY CAN PUFF THEMSELVES UP ON OUR DIME)
Outrageous.
For our liberal friends, oh, let’s just make it registered democrats instead, there should be a 50% garnishment of their benefits (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc) clearly stating that the money is going to refugees, illegals, et al.
Let them put their money where their mouth is.
The endless costly burden of chain immigration and open borders?
It’s a quick way to destroy a free sovereign country.
Anyone still want to argue that printed, fiat Federal Reserve notes, and massive government debt are NOT the foundation of the progressive-left nanny-state and 1000 social engineering schemes?
You can’t oppose or convince them with direct arguments from the MSM.
Simply ask them: “are you ever going to get tired of being manipulated?”
And the problem with that is? What a coinkydink that we also have the highest labor force particiapation rate and the lowest unemployment in three decades or more!
The existing giveaways:
Housing Assistance-—$1000 monthly (they legally use $400-—taxpayers pay the rest)
Universal Program for Subsidized Phones for Low Income (ObamaPhones),
EBT Food Stamps (SNAP),

TANF Welfare, Energy Assistance, EITC,
General Assistance Cash,
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
Assets for Independence,

Job Relocation,
Woman Infants and Children’s Program,
Hispanic Jobs Program,
Needy Families Cash Assistance,
Migrant Education,
Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities,
Social Security for Refugees,
and anything else they can scam.
Liberalism is a disease.
Wow. And NONE of those are available to top-tier working-class Americans who now actually pay 1/2 their income in taxes.
What haters we are for pointing out the truth. If not on welfare they will be horribly underpaid, meaning $0.00 to the IRS - meaning they will be a net negative, not a contribution to the large social state.
THAT is why they are here in the first place. Foreigners who cannot support themselves should get the RETURN TO SENDER treatment.
Of course it is, which is why the socialisst spun off into economics - producing Keynes, and Galbraith and his disciples, who create cute little formulas and charts to justify government over spending.
