Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant Households Are on Welfare
Breitbart ^ | 4 Dec 2018 | John Binder

More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.

The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.

Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by native-born Americans use welfare in California.

President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

Is there any chance we can get a breakdown on illegal vs. legal? Kinda makes a difference.

Not to worry. Most of the sheep can’t think past that idea to realize that the ones who are foolish enough to work are the ones who are paying. The sheep will keep voting for redistributionists and they will keep getting poorer.

The legals still take in more than the natives.

This used to be the land of opportunity.

For some it still is. For too many it’s the land of the meal ticket for life.

“Is there any chance we can get a breakdown on illegal vs. legal? Kinda makes a difference.”

From the article:

“While most new legal immigrants (green card holders) are barred from most welfare programs, as are illegal immigrants and temporary visitors, these provisions have only a modest impact on non-citizen household use rates because: 1) most legal immigrants have been in the country long enough to qualify; 2) the bar does not apply to all programs, nor does it always apply to non-citizen children; 3) some states provide welfare to new immigrants on their own; and, most importantly, 4) non-citizens (including illegal immigrants) can receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children who are awarded U.S. citizenship and full welfare eligibility at birth.”

Most of the “legal” immigrants that I see in California are from sh*thole countries like Somalia and Iraq. We can thank the Bush Dynasty for that.

Another progressive social-engineering and political project funded by massive government debt.

Captain obvious for the myopic liberals who read the Freep.

When one disregards an infected injury on their body, one can surmise the infection may well eventually takes its tole and kill the person. Analogously speaking, California has the same problem. The illegal immigrants being allowed into that state via the democrats who control the state house are the infection on the working middle class. The demise of the state is clearly being perpetuated by the democrats and their cronies all in the sake of growing their power and wealth via vote fraud and outright corruption to further scam the hard working tax payers. Lessons don't come cheap!

As we have been told endlessly by our masters, natives are old, fat, lazy, don’t reproduce and are a drain on the economy. Immigrants are young, fit, ambitious, virile and contribute to the economy. These statistics sort of prove it. Well, don’t they? < / sarcasm >

Not really, they are all foreigners who should not be here if they can’t support themselves.

This also points up the need to rethink the idea of universal suffrage in a Welfare State, and clear conflicts of interest:

In other words, U.S. taxpayers are providing room and board, healthcare and tuition as well as spending money and all types of other free sh*t to foreigners so they can vote for the Marxist, commie and Nazi ‘RATS. I don’t think we’re in America anymore, Toto.

President Trump is working to address the problem.

New “public charge” rules issued by the Trump administration expand the list of programs that are considered welfare, receipt of which may prevent a prospective immigrant from receiving lawful permanent residence (a green card).

Reducing future welfare use rates would save taxpayers billions.

Legals can access welfare more easily.

Illegals need to use their anchor babies.

Establishment Republicans say it’s good for you either way. That’s why they did nothing to change the situation when they could.

In fact they would have amnestied millions more illegals if you hadn’t fought them.
