Indians have the second lowest level of food stamp use of any immigrant nationality (only those from the UK are lower):

I understand that someone you’ve worked with has chapped your hide by bringing over his parents and accessing some sort of federal mortgage program, but believe me, overall and statistically Indians actually are about as close to a “model minority” immigrant group as you can find. For example, they’ve definitely started and built more large and successful tech firms here than any other immigrant group.

I have a low tolerance for those who would p*ss on american workers and tell them it's raining out. That study was done by taking anyone whose name sounded vaguely Indian and started a business and counting them as an immigrant. It counted many second, third, and fourth generation Indians as new immigrants.
