Liberal Mind: American citizens aren’t getting enough welfare, give them more.
Conservative Mind: Kick out the illegal aliens, and 50%??!!!!! cut that number in half while you’re at it.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Perhaps a little off topic, but relevant to the refugee crisis as refugees admitted are eligible for Federal benefits immediately. As well as special Refugee Cash Assistance for eight months. And family reunification.
"Welfare use by illegal immigrant households is certainly a concern, but the bigger issue is welfare use by legal immigrants," said Camarota.
Welfare use by population was 87% of illegal immigrant households, and 52% of citizens. That’s what I was referring to.
Its a win-win for the corporate/government complex.
Years ago bleeding heart liberals attached to churches and other nonprofit went in to Mexico and started giving free stuff to the poor. Stupid gringos. In Mexico decades ago and today the notion of “charity” is a foreign concept, especially to Mexican peasants. Back then and today there are basically zero charities or what we call “nonprofits” here in the states in Mexico. In Mexico it is nearly impossible to start a nonprofit.
Once the Mexicans saw that the stupid gringos would give them free stuff and were told they could even get MORE free stuff if they cam to the states they came here in droves. When they found that if they dropped babies on the ground they could get even more $$$ they thought they had won the lottery.
The way to get the illegals to go back to Mexico is to simply stop giving them free stuff. Once the free government cheese is gone what happens next is a BIG jump in crime. We would have to be prepared for that. Over time millions would self deport.
87% OF IMMIGRANTS GO ON WELFARE??????????????
THATS ALMOST *ALL* OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF???????????????????
I MEAN REALLY
WHAT-THE-EFFING-EFF?????????????????????????????????
THE LIBTARDS CAN NOT SAY THEY COME HERE AND ARE “HARD-WORKING’ - THEY COME HERE AND ARE MOOCHES!!!!!!!!!!!
KICK
THEM
OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have wayyyy too many immigrants, legal and illegal. It’s time for a moratorium on all immigration for a few years.
Once upon a time an immigrant had to have means, a job, or a responsible sponsor to get in. We need to return to that.
An estimated 49 percent of households headed by legal immigrants used one or more welfare programs in 2012, compared to 30 percent of households headed by natives.
Households headed by legal immigrants have higher use rates than native households overall and for cash programs (14 percent vs. 10 percent), food programs (36 percent vs. 22 percent), and Medicaid (39 percent vs. 23 percent). Use of housing programs is similar.
Legal immigrant households account for three-quarters of all immigrant households accessing one or more welfare programs.
Legal immigrant households are a bigger problem. This was the whole point of the article and the CIS study.
bookmarked, sobering info.
Welfare moochers, legal and illegal, aren’t the core of the problem.
They are just a manifestation of the problem.
They mooch because they can.
Our government is the core of the problem.
The federal government is the entity using force and the threat of punishment to extort money from those of us who earn it and handing that money over to moochers in return for their support and votes.
Without a corrupt government the illegal alien moochers wouldn’t be coming here for the free stuff and the legal resident moochers would be working instead of looting, rioting in the streets, shooting cops and spitting out a new generation of welfare babies.
A reliable source recently reported that each ILLEGAL family here imposes around a $700,000.00 per year total burden on the system (perfect for obozo’s Cloward-Piven strategy to bankrupt the nation).
Assume 7 members (direct and extended) per family. That comes in at 100 grand per individual.
While I suspect the number is far higher, let’s say there are only 11 million here now. If I’ve done the math correctly, 100 grand times 11 million comes to 1.1 trillion per year.
Dr. Carson and others have commented that sending these folks back to their homelands would be too costly.
I don’t know about you, but lessening of the annual burden by over a TRILLION BUCKS, would have us square with that up front cost in a couple years. Then maybe we could devote some time and resources to getting the LEGALS jobs and out of obozo’s comfy welfare HAMMOCK!
While any of this requires that we run off obozo and his merry band of malicious and mendacious miscreants, it sure sounds like a plan and a bargain to me!
(This assumes that in the meantime we’ve elected some SANE ADULTS who don’t piss those “savings” away buying perpetual reelection.)
“The most extensive use of welfare is by less-educated immigrants who are in the country legally. Of households headed by legal immigrants without a high school diploma, 75 percent use one or more welfare programs, as do 64 percent of households headed by legal immigrants with only a high school education. In other words, it’s not that these immigrants don’t want to work — many are simply unemployable because they don’t have the skills needed for the jobs available. ‘All of this means that President George W. Bush was wrong when he argued that all that matters is matching a willing worker with a willing employer,” Camarota wrote separately at National Review Online. “It’s time to give preference to immigrants who are unlikely to use welfare programs.’”
To the “I’m all in for legal immigration” crowd, read ‘em and weep.
With not only the illegal invasion, but also with a majority of the legal immigrants, we are importing poverty, welfare dependents, and Dim voters.
Why would anyone want to knowingly destroy the country with our immigration policy unless they are a Soros/Obummer clone?
The vast majority of illegal aliens get their free stuff thru their US born children who are citizens at birth. Over 300,000 are born annually to illegal aliens in the US.
Our elites want to feel special about themselves ... they want to show their great generosity... so they give away YOUR hard earned money...
Would YOU deny them the pleasure of prancing around thinking they're big shots?
Well, would you?
87% OF IMMIGRANTS GO ON WELFARE??????????????
THATS ALMOST *ALL* OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!_______________________
87% ILLEGAL INVADERS are on welfare and sucking the U.S dry, while we give billions to third world muzzie/commie
countries who hate us- and people like my poor grandfather, who never used welfare in his whole life, and has paid into SS since he was 21 are barely able to survive on his tiny SS check.
Those idiot liberals in Congress should realize that their deficit problem would go away by unloading the illegals. Most of the US budget (70%?) is entitlements.
