Over Half of Immigrant Households Are on Welfare, Far Surpassing American Households​

More than half of immigrant-headed households are on one or more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare, far surpassing the welfare use of native-born American households, newly released analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies revealed.

About 61 percent of illegal alien-headed households, alone, receive welfare, including 44 percent on Medicaid, 44 percent on food stamps, 21 percent on cash assistance, and two percent on housing assistance.

This only makes sense. Many come, many don’t work, many can’t speak the language, many people’s education doesn’t translate, lots of reasons why.
I’m not saying this is ok because it’s not. Immigration needs to be highly regulated to ensure there is little to no drain on society and our workers are protected. This is not happening.

I heard a documentary years ago and it was pointed out that among the poor women never even learn to write never go to school .

I believe the term is *illegal* immigrants, not immigrants. There's a big difference.
Words have meaning. Those who control the language control the argument.

I prefer criminal illegal alien. - turd worlder piece of shit, sometimes as a add on.

Anyway.

It pisses me off whenever the so-called press is interviewing a Democrat. The Democrats always use the word immigrant when referring to illegal immigrants. The press never corrects them as though there's no difference between an immigrant and an *illegal* immigrant.

But you all probably already knew that, I'm just saying.

Illegal is just that and they should be deported with prejudice. Do not pass go, do not collect $1000 in EBT or free rent, phones, learing centers, etc.
Legal immigration IS highly regulated. Before my wife was able to move here, all sorts of documentation had to be provided and even more signed. Among those signed by myself and soon to be wife, was a document stating that she was to be provided for and that she could not move here, then go on any public assistance. Any attempt to would result in her be deported.
I've often joked that it would have been easier for her to cross the border, us have a kid or two without getting married and collect all sorts of assistance, but that isn't our way. We did things properly at great expense both financially and time spent doing stacks of paperwork and at meetings. Best thing I ever did.

Unfortunately many American born and raised children today can barely read or write properly either. Half of gen Z doesn't even know the difference between a country and a continent. Many teachers are quitting because their students cannot function almost at all let alone at grade level. America has become literally retarded at this point. We are doomed!

All too true (my friends in education can confirm this...most are just counting down the days until retirement and gave up on making a difference).

Being that I never had kids, therefore grandkids, and that sort of thing. Plus, both of my friends that have young kids are homeschooling. I'm pretty removed from it all.

Other than paying my school taxes... - The only way I have to know what's going on is what I read. And it's concerning, it doesn't sound good at all.

Yup
And I bet the minute you go into a school board meeting to contest the b.s. they are pushing you'll be told "you don't have kids, so you have no say in what we do".

People who do not have children in the system should NOT have to pay into it.
