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). Analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) shows welfare use by households headed by non-citizens is very high. The desire to reduce these rates among future immigrants is the primary justification for the rule change. Immigrant advocacy groups are right to worry that the high welfare use of non-citizens may impact the ability of some to receive green cards, though the actual impacts of the rules are unclear because they do not include all the benefits non-citizens receive on behalf of their children and many welfare programs are not included in the new rules. As welfare participation varies dramatically by education level, significantly reducing future welfare use rates would require public charge rules that take into consideration education levels and resulting income and likely welfare use.
Of non-citizens in Census Bureau data, roughly half are in the country illegally. Non-citizens also include long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers and foreign students) and permanent residents who have not naturalized (green card holders). Despite the fact that there are barriers designed to prevent welfare use for all of these non-citizen populations, the data shows that, overall, non-citizen households access the welfare system at high rates, often receiving benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children.
Among the findings:
In 2014, 63 percent of households headed by a non-citizen reported that they used at least one welfare program, compared to 35 percent of native-headed households.

just how tired ARE you?? ping

This used to be illegal
This can’t be true because Democrats tell us illegals can’t get welfare.

Once mamma has her anchor baby she is entitled to the full range of welfare benefits all single mothers get
For illegals, life may not begin at conception, but welfare dependency sure does
And 50% of naturalized citizens are also on some kind of welfare leaving native recipients sucking hind teat.
Dims tell us that illegals can’t get welfare, that they don’t vote and that there are only 11 million in this country.
The U.S. is like a sick animal covered with ticks.
They’ll say it’s not the illegals getting welfare it’s their US born children, i.e. anchor babies.
Liberals will claim that there are no illegals drawing welfare benefits,
This is not how white europeans were allowed entry to this country. And they were not let in with serious diseases either.
Right!! And they pay taxes and represent NET GAINS to our economy.... Liberals, with the generous assistance of the MSM, that is...
Brainwashing the low-info, IMHO.
We are at the point that our future as a sovereign nation and the sustainability of our freedoms and self-determinism are at risk because of the state of the rest of the Americas (Central and South). It is way past time that the US engage Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, etc., and demand to know why they are failing their citizens.
These discussions should be as private as possible, to remove the political grandstanding and push-back, but they should be blunt and point out that the survival of all of the Americas depends upon stopping drug trafficking, human trafficking, and government corruption. We screwed up in Cuba, and a repeat of this could be very destructive. We don't exist in the world alone, and need to ensure that gateway countries to the US are not used to weaken us.
“after 10 years, 70% are still on benefits”.
OMG, I’m going to be sick.
You can’t get sick. You need to go out and work to pay for it
And the percentage goes UP the longer they live here!
And that there have been that same eleven million since about the year 2000. LLPOF to the media and to the Dems.
Each illegal alien costs our local, state, and federal governments $15,000 a year. Most pay no income or SS taxes and little other taxes.
