Immigrants lag behind native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which argues that full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural differences.
The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.
The report was released at a time when both major presidential candidates have backed policies that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the numbers of people coming to the U.S.

path? what the hell do you think they came here for??? WELFARE!!!
solve the reduction in military /too much welfare in one fell swoop....
all welfare recipients must enlist and serve in military.
That 10 year sponsor rule has always been in effect. However, no one pays any attention to it. Way back when I was hired as an eligibility worker for our welfare dept and was doing I&R (intake and referral) when I had to process some legal immigrants and I asked about their sponsors. I was told....yeah that is the law but we don’t ask and don’t pay any attention to it.
i'd rather they bring back the old CCC...
Perfectly stated! obama does the exact same thing... they are all communists... McCarthy was 100% correct. You forgot about drugs... they buy a lot of illegal drugs to sell so that they can use... add that to all of the other perks of illegality.

I wouldn’t wish that on any DI.

Wow....this is disturbing
And, should make everyone really research the candidates. If a candidate is not for secure borders, deporting all illegals, and limiting immigration....they support amnesty AND bigger government
Ladies : Liz, auntB another freeper who see’s the light. Please add him/her to your (illegal) immigration lists.
Living in Maryland illegal immigration is a serious problem but not as big a problem as in the South Western states : NV(my relatives),AZ(SJB) , NM, CA (AuntB).
But I have seen massive legal immigration transform the east coast Maryland to NY and the result has not been positive. None of these groups, led by South Koreans, are voting against Democrats or Dem policies. Its been too many and too fast and too different for proper assimilation.
this figure is just on the ones they can count.
” Of the ones 57% who do better many get totally free college. I met a few here. “
Sounds about right.
Thanks, I figured as much. Of course, I’m not going to tell my relatives anything about welfare. They either get with the program or go home.
Thanks for the ping. I tried to post this report a few days ago, and FR wouldn’t post it. I didn’t bother to ask why.
