They tell you they don’t vote either.


But we all know that’s another lie.

That's the left's plan laid out for all to see and it paints a clear picture of what's happening before our eyes. It is truly subversion.

The "illegals" tab is potentially misleading, at least on food and Medicaid, as those are common for the children of those people if the kids are born in the US and are citizens.


Why is it misleading? Whether it's going to the anchor baby or not, the illegal is the cause of another mouth for taxpayers to feed.

This is not sustainable.

MAGA math!

Houses Headed by US born individuals: 112 million (84%)
39% = 43.6M on any welfare

Headed by legal immigrants: 16 million (12%)
52% - 8.3M on any welfare

Headed by unauthorized immigrants: 5 million (4%)
59% = 2.95M on any welfare

It's amazing how gullible yall are lol

Benny Johnson is a biased source. This a really high number, but it is misleading stat. Over 70% of all Americans have received at least one type of welfare at some point in their life.

It’s not talking about illegal immigrants getting welfare it’s talking about how their US born children get these type of benefits. We have around 4.6 million children in the US born to legal and illegal immigrants. That means about 2.7 million kids are getting welfare.

Iegal and illegal immigrants can’t get federally funded Medicaid, SNAP, or cash welfare, but their children can if they were born in the US.

Just like US citizens illegals can get tax refunds if they pay taxes, but can’t get SS benefits even though they pay in. Legal immigrants can receive SS benefits if they pay into SS long enough. They can pay into a 401k and get health insurance.

Needs to be a constitutional amendment that any sort of welfare program requires citizenship for the recipient. If you’re here on a green card and can’t financially support yourself, you have to go back. Illegals getting welfare to begin with is asinine.

1000000% agree our welfare system is unsustainable, and I include Social Security in that as well.

For the Medicaid part it's only for the citizen children, so the household may be 5 people, but if only 3 are citizens then those are the only 3 getting Medicaid. Likewise, and if I am wrong on this happy to retract, but SNAP benefits are given on a per person who qualifies basis, so using that example the amount the household is given isn't for a household of 5 but for a household of 3 based on only 3 people in it qualifying. So the illegal parents aren't getting extra money than what the 3 children would be receiving regardless of their parents' status.

It's misleading because CIS wanted those numbers to be higher so they named it "illegal lead household" to imply that the illegals were receiving the benefits and not the US citizen children in that household.

The Left will find a way to defend this even though the ones that are most affected are the ones that they use this to get votes with.

Small price to pay for buying new Democrat voters, I guess.

FWIW that is the law already. Trump in both terms has ramped up the requirements to demonstrate that a person won't be a "public charge."

If the program is receiving federal funds they legally aren't supposed to be. Now since the state administers the programs I'm sure some do. Think some states, like California, may have totally state funded programs that don't care about status.

This is just insanity. How can ANYONE, Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative support this.

And as for the liberal, democrats - they are some of the loudest yelling at inflation right now... having ignored the idiot and his enablers who caused us to land here.

Want forgiveness for student loans, sure. Pay for legal and illegals staying in New York's Rosevelt, no problem. Welcome centers in Cali, done. Cash on cards, you just tell them how much you need.

Those numbers are actually worth going to war against the machine.

Our founding fathers are rolling over in their graves. They revolted against the most powerful empire and military in the world when said empire levied a 3% tax on tea.

Thanks for the link. I’m familiar with CIS but they are not a source of actual data and everything they release is propaganda.

Going to the document you linked to (and thanks for that), I saw the key to these alleged numbers:

quote:

welfare benefits on behalf of U.S.-born citizen children

The data reflects benefits to U.S. citizens and falsely claims the benefits are paid to illegal immigrants based upon a “head of the household” classification, which is meaningless.

So this is today’s example of right wingers lying to each other to keep them in a perpetual state of fake outrage.
