..The 2022 SIPP indicates that 54 percent of households headed by immigrants — naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal immigrants — used one or more major welfare program. This compares to 39 percent for U.S.-born households.
The rate is 59 percent for non-citizen households (e.g. green card holders and illegal immigrants).
Compared to households headed by the U.S.-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16 percent vs. 12 percent for the U.S.-born).
Our best estimate is that 59 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants, also called the undocumented, use at least one major program. We have no evidence this is due to fraud. Among legal immigrants we estimate the rate is 52 percent...
..Most new legal immigrants are barred from most programs, as are illegal immigrants, but this has a modest impact primarily because: 1) Immigrants can receive benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children; 2) the bar does not apply to all programs, nor does it apply to non-citizen children in some cases; 3) most legal immigrants have lived here long enough to qualify for welfare; 4) some states provide welfare to otherwise ineligible immigrants on their own; 5) by naturalizing, immigrants gain full welfare eligibility....
I went to the SIPP site. You need to be a statistician to read it. Also “22 findings are from previous year or from the pandemic event. So -for a red team news outlet - I need more current information to consider it factual.

I wonder how many countries I could migrate to and get welfare off the back? So far, if I want to move to another country and become a citizen, I have to have a steady income from something (either retirement, savings or a job) or have a needed skill to get employment in that new country, but those countries are strict on who can get be legally work there.
the poorest Americans those disabled on SSI get 914 a month and sometimes wait years for a housing voucher or housing. I wonder how many of these "immigrants" get more and if they also have to wait years for some type of public housing.....
Where I work, we have two ladies that are a good example of how messed up our system is. One is a natural born American citizen, 3rd generation. She is an older woman who has to rely on social security to help pay the bills but she cannot work over a certain amount of hours or make over a certain amount of money or she will lose her benefits. She is living in a crappy low cost apartment complex and drives a pos car and had to cut the cable because she can no longer afford it.
There is another woman who is an immigrant from Mexico of about 40 years now. She gets welfare because she has two kids that are on the sickly side and this welfare is enough for her to afford a nice apartment that runs 3,000 a month, has $1,500 food vouchers as well as on programs to help keep the utilities at a low price. And yet she is also allowed to work as many hours as she wants as well as collect child support from an ex so she has extra money to afford a brand new Mercedes Benz and also to afford cable and state of the art security for her home. Not to mention she sends her kids to private schools. So something is definitely wrong here.
No they are not. That is a "talking point" you hear on FOX every half hour instead.
Sorry but that has been talked about in many threads on these forums - the Dems say we need these people because Americans aren't having kids any longer - they are more interested in disfiguring themselves changing sexes.
