The overwhelming majority of households headed by Afghan immigrants with children in the home are on one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare in the United States, newly released analysis reveals.

The analysis, published by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), reviews Census Bureau data on Afghan immigrants in the U.S. — an immigrant group that has exploded from just 22,000 in 1990 to almost a quarter of a million as of 2024.

Most significantly, the Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent of such households are on at least one form of welfare.

In particular, the data shows that 85 percent of Afghan households with children are on one or more forms of welfare — including 81 percent on Medicaid, 61 percent on food stamps, and 15 percent on cash assistance. …

I see this everyday here in Sacramento. Every damn day. And they all drive new Toyotas. They all live in apartments, multiple families to an apt, and they don’t work. It’s absolutely maddening what they have done to multiple parts of Sacramento.

Eighty five percent of all aliens are on public assistance.
Probably low balling the number.
PLUS don’t forget free cash, housing, medical/dental, electric cars, mortgage subsidies, etc.

So American taxpayers pay massive taxes and can barely support themselves so they can have our money and not work or worry about paying health insurance or anything else. We work for them?

The taxpayers aren’t smart enough to figure out they are being screwed.

Generational welfare creates bitter, entitled, non-productive people. Welcome to America.

Get a big boat.
Fill it with these leaches.
Point it towards Kraplakistan.
Set it adrift.

An even simpler and better solution…end all welfare. US citizens have no better claim to my earnings than immigrants.
