To be sure, assistance use varied among region of origin.

Refugees from Africa and the Middle East were the heaviest users of cash assistance at 61.9 percent and 68.3 percent respectively. Latin American refugees only used cash assistance at a rate of 8.1 percent and South Asia used about 42.7 percent. Data for Europe and the former Soviet Union was not available.

The use of food stamps — or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — also varied with 88.9 percent of refugees from Africa, 91.4 percent of Middle Eastern refugees, the Middle East, 72.9 percent of South Asia, and 36.7 percent of Latin American refugees using the benefit.

According to the Department of Agriculture’s most recent data, the number of Americans who are enrolled on food stamp program has remained above 45 million every single month for three years straight.

This data is likely only tracking those whose official status is “refugee”. If so, it would not include any data on illegals.

This is our country...but yet it’s been taken from us.
We didn’t have to allow Africans, “Asians”, or South Americans in to invade us, spread their 3rd world cultures among us, and “diversify” us—but we did. Diversity is insanity and immigration is suicide.

Now it must be said that some immigrants or more productive than others, that is obvious. For those that aren’t, and those that bring a culture of death and disease (do I really need to point those out?), why do we continue to allow our evil politicians to import them in by the millions?

I’m convinced Obama wants to destroy Whites and the Christian culture in this once-great nation by flooding it with Muslims, Mexicans, Africans and other illiterate peasants who could give a rip about freedom and much anything else that doesn’t satisfy their unquenchable lusts.

Open borders killed the Greek Republics and Roman Empire. It’s doing the same to us now also. Again, we didn’t have to let this happen.

Ahhhhhhh.....but they vote Democrat.

The Democrats aren’t stupid. They know this is killing our country. They don’t care. Money can be moved.

We keep thinking that the Democrats think like us. They don’t. Get over it. They are never going to think like us.

They think there are too many people on this planet.

They think The United States is no different from any other country.

They think stealing American Taxpayer provided funds from the treasuries is their right.

Last time I looked, years ago almost before Obama (heh, heh....B.O) the Social Security Administration’s web page indicated that over 25% of its disbursements were for SSDI and SSI. SSI funds are general funds but the SSA administers it. So bad now that the SSA has to routinely deny applications - lawyers specializing in applications (for a fee/cut) sprang up remarkably. You got depression, carpal or undiagnosable back pain? Get one of them lawyers. You get you $$ way before 66 and you get more/month too!

Couple that with SNAP, EITC, Section 8, TANF, ObamaPhone for free and all the dozens of other rent, utility and food pantry assistance and you don’t have to work sh!t....sit home and watch TV.

That's Ok, they're reducing military benefits and pensions which will help pay for the illegals having whatever they want !!

Elections have consequences.

Now that we have the 17th Amendment States in reality have no rights because State Legislatures which clearly reflect the will of the people now have no control over who represents the State in the Federal Senate.

The Plutocracy democracy always becomes is no substitue for our origial Republic.

Republic as defined by our Constitution prior to the "populist" 16th and 17th Amendments.
