A devastating new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies has delivered a crushing blow to open-border advocates, revealing that more than half of immigrant-headed households are sucking up taxpayer-funded welfare benefits at rates far exceeding native-born American families.
The bombshell data shows that a staggering 53% of households headed by immigrants—including naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal aliens—are using one or more major welfare programs. This compares to just 37% for households headed by U.S.-born citizens.
Mark Krikorian from the Center for Immigration Studies broke down the shocking numbers on social media, posting: "53% of households headed by immigrants—naturalized citizens, legal residents & illegal immigrants—used one or more major welfare programs. This compares to 37% for U.S.-born households."
But here's where it gets even more outrageous: the study reveals that "immigrant households without children, those with higher incomes, and those headed by well-educated immigrants tend to be more likely to use welfare than their U.S.-born counterparts," according to analysis shared by immigration policy experts.
Debunking the Pro-Immigration Propaganda
These findings completely demolish the establishment narrative that mass immigration is an economic benefit to America. While pro-immigration groups scramble to defend their failed policies, critics are pointing out serious flaws in studies that claim immigrants are a net positive.
One social media analyst exposed how previous pro-immigration studies are "riddled with flaws," noting they "lump legal & illegal immigrants, ignore age biases, & exclude US-born kids' welfare/education burdens from immigrant households, flipping the net negative to 'positive.'"
This data comes at a crucial time as President Trump's administration ramps up efforts to secure our borders and prioritize American workers. With more than half of immigrant households draining resources that should be going to struggling American families, is it any wonder why Trump's deportation agenda has such massive support?
The question Patriots need to ask: How long will hardworking Americans be forced to subsidize a broken immigration system that puts foreign nationals ahead of our own citizens?
