Study: immigrants use 41% more welfare than non immigrant households
quote:
The average household headed by an immigrant (both legal and illegal) in 2012 consumed $6,234 federal in welfare benefits, while the average native-headed households consumed $4,431 in benefits, says the CIS report, which is based on data from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation.
“The greater consumption of welfare dollars by immigrants can be explained in large part by their lower level of education and larger number of children compared to natives,” Richwine writes in Monday’s report. “Over 24 percent of immigrant households are headed by a high school dropout, compared to just 8 percent of native households. In addition, 13 percent of immigrant households have three or more children, vs. just 6 percent of native households.”

At $8,251, households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico have the highest welfare costs of any sending region — 86 percent higher than the costs of native households,” Richwine writes

Immigrants from Europe and South Asia, on the other hand, use fewer welfare dollars than even native-headed households. With the average European immigrant headed household using $3,509 worth of benefits and South Asian immigrant households using $2,565 in benefits.

Immigrants are such heavy users of welfare not because they don’t work, but because, on average, they have little education and thus earn low wages,” Mark Krikorian, CIS’ executive director, said in a statement. “If we continue to permit large numbers of less-educated people to move here from abroad, we have to accept that there will be huge and ongoing costs to taxpayers.”
Isn't is required by law that immigrants prove financial capability/independence before moving here?
Also, lol at liberals saying Mexicans are just like any other group when immigrants from Asia and Europe use 50% less handouts than they do.
