Illegal and legal immigrants are using nearly 60 percent more U.S. taxpayer-funded food stamps than native born Americans, data from the leading immigration research group reveals. A study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that the majority of the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every year use about 57 percent more food stamps than the average native born American household.
Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign born population translates to the average immigrant household costing American taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare.
The welfare use of legal and illegal immigrants has largely been buried in news that President Trump’s administration is looking to discourage foreign nationals immigrating to the U.S. legally from using taxpayer-funded welfare. The plan is supported by 62 percent of American voters, the most recent Rasmussen Reports poll finds.

There are plenty of jobs - stop the handout and give away programs- if they can’t make it they can go home. Tax wire transfers out of America at 20% and fund the wall and additional Border Patrol Officers.
One way in which money is taken from hard working producers and given to indolent slackers.
Uh...takers versus makers...? Oooo - that’s wacist!
This could be used to peel more minority citizens away from the Democrats.
“Hey, that’s supposed to be YOUR money, not THEIR money!”
Isn’t food stamps now essentially a debt card. I believe the payment process is vastly different than in the past.
Wait just a minute!! We were told they were doing the jobs we don’t want to do?
Illegal aliens are not “immigrants”. They’re foreign national freeloaders getting a free ride on the backs of U.S. taxpayers.
AFAIC immigrants, no matter what their status, should not be eligible for any welfare programs.
Cut them all off, if they can’t support themselves, they need to be sent home.
They know how to take advantage of fools. Suicidal altruism.

60%? They must have hearty appetites, /S.
Dig deeper to find “refugees” using multiple identities to cash-in.....AND borrowing each other’s children to maximize fraud to get bigger EITC checks.
The invaders cant wait to get their greedy hands on freebies from the US taxpayer in the form of:

EBT Food Stamps (SNAP),
ObamaCare Subsidies for Immigrants,
ObamaCare Subsidies for Low Income, Medicaid,
TANF Welfare, Energy Assistance, EITC,

Needy Families Cash Assistance,
Migrant Education,
Title One Grants to Local Education Authorities,

and anything else they can scam.
When my grandparents arrived there was no public Assistance. Your sponsor was your support if you could not take care of yourself or family.
Well, yes, that is why they come here. They don’t know the language, are illiterate, and have no job skills, so how else can they survive.
Then they will vote for democrats to maintain their lifestyle.
And accuse anyone of being racist if there are complaints.
And those in public schools get free meals on top of it.
What a shock.
So obviously they should be using zero such resources.
