The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

Pedro! You don't have to tell me your an immigrant. Take it a step furter your more than not an illegal immigrant.
ReplyDeleteI am willing to bet that the Legal Immigrants who studied, qualified, and passed the tests to become citizens legally are a majority in homeownership and among the more and better employed. Mixing them all into one pot most likely skews the real numbers.
ReplyDeleteShow me the two groups separated statistics!
I have no problem with the legal ones except for the fact that a lot of them still can't speak English or refuse to. I don't understand how they can understand a question that I have to ask them in English in order to help them yet they won't reply in English?
ReplyDeletecut them all off. It only gives them more of an excuse to illiegally enter the county. In the old days they did mean to better themselves and never expected a handout, to proud, had morals and integrity, ...now adays its mostly sponge off on the backs of the middle class, no class, and they expect a handout
