Fifty-Seven Percent Of Mexican Immigrants On Welfare

A report by the Center for Immigration Studies (www.cis.org) reveals some startling figures about welfare use by families headed by immigrants.

“In 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households,” summarizes the document which was published by the Center for Immigration Studies and examines a wide variety of topics relating to immigration. Click HERE to read the full report.

The document breaks down the immigrant families by country of origin and gives specific types of welfare and percentages of the families that used it in 2010. An average fewer than 23 percent of native households use some type of “welfare” which is specifically defined in the study. 36 percent of households headed by immigrants use some type of welfare. Families headed by immigrants from specific countries or areas of the world range from just over 6 percent for those immigrants from Great Britain to more than 57 percent of those from Mexico using some type of welfare.

Only 57 %. Gosh, I thought obammie was better than that! There should be at least 75 % on welfare. Oh well, there's always hope.

If they cannot afford to live here on their own..... as soon as they apply for Welfare the should automatically be sent back to their country..... Foreign people should not be given anything from taxpayers

It would be less expensive to put them in buses and drive them to the border and make them go back to Mexico. I say, let's start tomorrow. My taxes need to be cut and I need "my" money for "MY OWN" family. Send these losers back to their home. Or, send them all to jail and use them as free labor to build roads, etc.

We all need to start working for cash and cut the government off from the free ride! I can't find a job, but am willing to work! Let's make a deal!

Illegal immigrants should NOT be eligible for ANY entitlements in the United States. They aren't citizens and don't pay taxes, a one-way ride on a bus would be the way to go!! and yes that would include all the babies they've had while being in the United States, no immediate citizenship for ANY baby of ANY illegal immigrants -- that needs to be changed NOW.

How about we give welfare to law abiding residents.

Since they are here illegally, they're out.

Easy peasy.
