"Cloward–Piven!"

The case underscores what experts say is a growing cost to taxpayers from the surge of Central American families and unaccompanied minors.
"We're talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits over the next few years," said Dan Stein, director of the right-leaning think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform. "The payout for the taxpayer is enormous and income to the Treasury is miniscule."
A FAIR study in 2017 found illegal immigrants are a net consumer of taxpayer benefits worth more than $100 billion a year, not including the cost of enforcing the border.
While federal benefits are supposed to be off limits, in practice many are not. More than 25,000 undocumented workers receive subsidized housing, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Children receive free education and most qualify for English lessons and free school breakfast and lunch.
Illegal immigrants do not qualify for Obamacare but under federal law, hospitals and clinics are required to provide urgent medical care without regard to legal status. Pregnant women are entitled to prenatal and postpartum care under the Women, Infants and Children program. Infant delivery costs are paid for by Medicaid. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found a federal-state immigrant insurance program cost $2 billion a year in emergency treatment, not including the $1.24 billion in infant delivery expenses.
Illegal immigrants are not entitled to food stamps, but families with U.S.-born children are. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 31% of such families use the SNAP program and more than 50% of Central American families in the U.S. use at least one welfare program.
This is especially true of asylum seekers said Art Arthur, a former immigration judge now with the Center for Immigration Studies, an immigration think tank.

And they wire BILLIONS HOME to MEXICO.
It is outright theft and fraud and no case for “charity”.
STOP THIS MADNESS!!!~ NO WELFARE FOR ILLEGALS!! NONE!
Racist. There. That answers everything./s
No sh## sherlock! small wire transfer stores are common they are used to funnel this money to their families in their homelands much like inner city bodegas that also double for fencing food stamps and other nefarious criminal activities. THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER IS BEING HOSED, WHERE ARE THE PROTESTS OF YEARS PAST ON DC ALA TEA PARTY
More proof that illegal immigration has been weaponized to bankrupt the United States through a war of a thousand cuts.
JoMa
Who would have known? /s
Maybe it is because we have about a 100th of the traffic we used to have? Can't imagine what could have cause that.
They forgot these stats https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/07/departments-justice-and-homeland-security-release-quarterly-alien-incarceration
Go back and ruin your own country some more, freeloaders!!
Oh, wait...they already have 😡

Absolutely RIDICULOUS. Pregnant women are required by our law to get complete medical care? Who is the freakin’ idiot who put that law through? No wonder they climb walls to get here. Freebies for life while she screws every Pedro, Pablo, and Reynaldo she can lay her hands on, and we get to pay for everything for the resultant born-of-idiots offspring.
No, folks-—we MUST change the laws, especially the misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment. No more anchor babies, no more chain migration.
Either we eliminate the goodies or we hand over our country to these trash.

Rather just eliminate the illegal welfare state in *ALL* of its shapes\matters\forms: kills 2+ birds w/ one stone.
Then, I don’t CARE if they wish to keep misinterpreting the PLAIN English of the 14th; it doesn’t supersede MY 5th/13th+ A. Rights.
FYI: Texas was INVADED by the Mexican Army at 2:00 PM last Saturday, April 13, 2019. The Mexican Army forced the FIRST SURRENDER of American troops to a foreign power on American soil since the War of 1812. Make NO mistake - the Mexican troops KNEW EXACTLY where they were. They all have GPS. The border is not the wall, but the center of the Rio Grande river. The question is what drug mules they were “protecting” as they entered the US. Mexican Army troops have been found before as many as 9 or 10 miles into the US. This needs to STOP. American soldiers need LOADED RIFLES, and vehicle mounted machine guns, not UNLOADED HANDGUNS. And they need to be in MARKED ARMY VEHICLES, not unmarked civilian cars, or Border Patrol vehicles. I would venture to suggest we we need a few Abrams tanks down there for their psychological deterrent value.
And yet the social security fund will be insolvent in 2035....
Need to stop the madness!!!!
The left tell you they are coming for a better life and a job. The job claim is B***S*** they are coming for a better life alright receiving all the free stuff that the American taxpayers will give them with out lifting a finger. Poor people my butt. Do you see anyone including the kids wearing rags, starving, without a cell phone by the way who is paying for that cell phone usage?No cheap shoes, back packs, and strollers in these groups. Most look like they need to go on a diet

Practically every female that has been televised looks like a beached whale.
