“Concern over immigrant welfare use is justified, as households headed by non-citizens use means-tested welfare at high rates. Non-citizens in the data include illegal immigrants, long-term temporary visitors like guest workers, and permanent residents who have not naturalized. While barriers to welfare use exist for these groups, it has not prevented them from making extensive use of the welfare system, often receiving benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children,” added the Washington-based immigration think tank.

The key sentience. I will add that illegal aliens are receiving welfare directly by lying ....by saying they are citizens or legal immigrants. You think the people in these welfare office care? These workers are usually minorities and immigrants themselves.

By saying they are legal immigrants?

Why should legal immigrants be getting a dime from us, never mind welfare?
