re: Census confirms SIXTY-THREE % of non-citizens receive welfare

The report says that: Of non-citizens in Census Bureau data, roughly half are in the country illegally. Non-citizens also include long-term temporary visitors (e.g. guestworkers and foreign students) and permanent residents who have not naturalized (green card holders).

Why do you think the CIS used non-citizens instead of people in the country illegally. HINT: the study is of "non-citizens, but the average person is thinking "illegals."

So if you want the numbers for illegals you should roughly cut them in half.

Why did CIS use SIPP instead of individual numbers? HINT: non-citizen households are larger than citizen households and that increases the likelihood that ANY member of the household gets ANY welfare benefit.

The report also says that: non-citizen households access the welfare system at high rates, often receiving benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children. HINT: they emphasize children (of course), but other members of the household could be a citizen. Therefore, if ANYONE in the household is getting welfare, even legally, the household is included as receiving welfare -- as if it wrong/illegal.

Typical misleading/bogus report from the Center for Immigration Studies.
