A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reveals that almost 60% of all illegal aliens households in the United States are benefiting from at least one form of taxpayer-funded welfare benefits.
Breitbart reports that the study, written by CIS’ Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, found that illegal aliens households, as well as legal immigrants, use “significantly more” welfare than actual American citizens. Of illegal aliens currently occupying land in the U.S., 59% are on welfare that is funded by legal American citizens; 52% of legal immigrants are also using welfare. Meanwhile, less than 40% of American citizens use welfare.
Among the most common forms of welfare for illegals are food stamps, Medicaid, and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
“This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants,” the study explains.
“Compared to households headed by the United States-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16 percent vs. 12 percent for the U.S.-born),” CIS continues.
The problem of illegals increasingly stealing welfare programs meant for American citizens will only get worse as the illegal population continues to surge to destabilizing levels. Now, after three years of Joe Biden’s open-borders policy, there are at least 49.5 million foreign-born individuals living in the United States, which is by far the largest amount ever recorded in American history. Under Biden, that total increased by about 4.5 million. If the trends remain the same, then the foreign-born population will surpass 70 million by the year 2060.
While on the campaign trail in 2020, Biden and all other Democratic candidates pledged during the primary debates that they would support giving taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal aliens, alongside other forms of welfare.
I am surprised that the percentage is not higher.
It probably is. On welfare yet they drive shiny new trucks.
How to collapse a country.
I don’t understand what motivates them to invade (sarcasm)

Turn of the century-1900. 30% of immigrants returned to the old country-couldn’t hack it here. We were left with the best. This was the immigration wave of 1880-1920.
Africa. 40% of the imported slaves survived the voyage. Wonder how they dominate the NFL? Jails too.
I am surprised that the percentage is not higher.
Pretty sure this is an underestimate when you consider the taxes you pay for the school system to educate the illegal children, the increase in tax you pay for the social programs of the government, the increase in costs to the legal system, the tremendous costs to the health care system for unreimbursed care provided to the illegal population, etc. etc.
NO. it’s 5 out of 5.
they all get some sort of assistance, even if it’s just going to ER when needed, and ER gets the tax payer money after the fact.
illegals don’t just come here just to work. many (or someone connect to them) steal or otherwise break public stuff, litter, etc etc it all takes tax payer dollars to support those matters. I lived in an area for decades seeing it daily, and their habits are now invading the area I live in now as I see more here.
Had a garage sale once and boy did the little ones just take things and go to the car while one of the adults was talking with me about another item.
for many it’s their way of life and they teach it to the kids.
The DemonRATz have made them wards of the U.S. Government. They are the American taxpayers’ and their families problem now.
Taxpayer-Funded Welfare a life long perk democrat party approved.

Campaigning in 2020, Biden..... and all other Democratic candidates.... pledged
support for taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegals, alongside other forms of welfare.
The problem of illegals increasingly stealing welfare programs meant for tax-paying American citizens will get worse as the illegal population surges to destabilizing levels, after three years of Joe Biden’s open-borders policies.
It’s a complete lie that “illegals just want to work to help the nation”
No! The vast majority of them wan to sit on a porch dri king beer and smoking dope the rest of their lives, paid for by welfare funds.
Some illegals exploit every program they can, to the tune of $45,000 a year
THAT is what is driving them here!
Of The few who do work, many will send their money back to their own country to benefit them, not the US.
What about the free education their kids get — and other government services that are not usually considered to be welfare?
And I’m sure the elites and poor folks are the ones actually paying for this.
“The DemonRATz have made them wards of the U.S. Government. They are the American taxpayers’ and their families problem now.”
*************
At a time when our unfunded liabilities are at an astonishing $212 trillion. What could go wrong?
From the illegal alien’s point of view, they would be idiots not to come and get the free giveaways.
The states should cut off welfare for illegals, and they will self-deport to other states.
“The states should cut off welfare for illegals”
***********
Prolly won’t. The politicians want their votes.
After Trump full employment, the welfare bureaucracy needed to go out and get some new clients. Have to spend all that printed money somehow, there are only so many off-shore accounts to fill.
They work under the table while the taxpayer covers all their expenses.
Liberals will claim that illegal aliens also contribute to the tax base. Which is true. But what they don’t say is that for ever dollar they contribute, they cost the taxpayers $10.
