Nearly 75% of all immigrants and illegals, are on government welfare programs of some kind. It is lie that they just want to come here to work. They come here because sitting on a porch in housing that is free to them, and doing nothing is far far more lucrative than living in their own country.
In some prisons the population I. There is nearly 80% illegals.
This is not to put down true Imigrants that actually did come here looking for a better life by working hard to get it, but the truth is that near.y 75% of immigrants and illegals are on welfare, some to the tune of nearly $45,000 a year as they soak our government and hard working Americans for all they can get ‘for free’
Thanks to the constant gaslighting of the left, Americans don’t know the actual facts and think that il.egals help keep out country going strong financially. Thi is a blatant lie. The ones that come here and Immedjately go on welfare drain our economy, fill our prisons, which taxpayers then have to pay for, costing approx $145 per day per person, and raise the crime rates much higher. i.legals who are also criminals, commit far more crimes than the average American does- far higher. I have some stats fro a few decades ago, and they were really bad even back then
For one, the poll is garbage because it combines looking for jobs and a better life in one statement. Everyone wants a better life, so that part is meaningless to the debate, but it probably swayed many of the respondents to select that answer.
But also, I think this the situation is even worse in a way than you describe because there are many illegals that actually are doing both. Working under the table to get money and milking as many benefits as they can. So yeah, they might have a job in the technical sense, but it’s just taking more stuff away from real Americans.
