Almost 60% of Texan children are Hispanics. They have kids, whites don’t.

Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare
Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S...The majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania (59%).
The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).
Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship. On the other hand, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income.
The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.

Actually, a lot of Cubans seem to have “moved left,” too. There was a good article in the WSJ this morning revealing that second or third generation Cubans seem to be mostly Obama voters now. In other words, they’ve sunk into the American ethos in their area (South Florida, heavily Northeast retireee Dem voters), which nowadays is all government all the time, and the bigger the better.
A better idea would be to purge fools who apply xenophobe to Americans fed up with foreign nationals breaking American immigration law.
And we could start with you.
I am Hispanic and my family has been in this land since 1691. I love this country and what it stands for. I have and will always will vote Republican. I have read all the posts thus far on this forum. We can’t continue to be divided and must stick to our conservative principicles, but most of all we can’t allow the Democrats to continue dividing us. Obama did well at that during the election on race.
I believe their is enough Conservative Hispanics out there like me to help defeat the Democrats next election. I also think the Republicans need to be the one to develop a immigration reform plan. I believe the boarder needs to be secured immediately and all illegals that aren’t a asset to America need to be sent back, but that also goes for all Blacks, Russians,and other Eastern Europe citzens that came in the last decade. They are sucking the system dry too...
You got to be kidding me...I know no Mexicans in my circle that supports Gay marriage. Please get out and talk to some of them. Your way off base.
