An analysis of federal cost figures finally confirms something that conservatives have known for some time now.
According to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies, immigrant households receive way more in government benefits and welfare than the average American household. This finding is true regardless of whether the immigrants in question are legal or illegal.
Putting a number on the amount immigrants receive, the Center estimates that immigrant homes get around $5,692 in assistance from the federal government every year, a considerably bigger amount than the $4,431 in similar benefits that native-born homes get within the same duration.
The total cost of welfare for immigrants comes out to over $103 billion, meaning that American taxpayers pay billions to subsidize the lifestyles of illegals who are included in the sample size.
Although liberals might try to deflect from the issue by saying that illegal immigrants aren’t eligible for welfare, they ignore the fact that their children are, an important fact that the study takes into account.

And some American citizens in real need for only a short time are denied
TOTALLY OUTRAGIOUS !!!
I heard some households get 4,000 and something dollars of food stamps.this is true
No doubt…
Where are all the women and children?
No immigrants, legal nor illegal should receive a lick of government assistance. When my grandparents came here through Ellis Island, they had to prove they could earn a living or have a sponsor who would support them until that time they could earn a living. Let’s go back to that. You can’t have open borders and a welfare state.
Very true!
Something’s wrong with this picture.
Shoes that both parties don’t care. This must stop.
They get double what I get from Social Security, and I paid in for 56 years.
