DURING OBAMA’S
FIRST TERM, HE ASSAULTED FOUR AMERICAN STATES ON BEHALF OF HIS LA RAZA PARTY
BASE of ILLEGALS, SABOTAGED E-VERIFY AND VIRTUALLY HALTED WORKPLACE ENFORCEMENT
OF LAW PROHIBITING THE EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS.
DURING OBAMA’S
FIRST TERM, 2/3S OF ALL JOBS WENT TO IMMIGRANTS, BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL.
NOW THAT
ILLEGALS HAVE REELECTED OBAMA (YOU WONDER WHY?), WELFARE TO LA RAZA APPROACHES
THE TRILLION DOLLAR LEVEL. ADD TO THAT THE STAGGERING COST OF THE MEXICAN CRIME
TIDAL WAVE, ASSAULT TO THE AMERICAN CULTURE AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER TRILLION
DOLLARS HANDED TO MEXICO!
Most Illegal
Immigrant Families Collect Welfare
April 05, 2011
Surprise, surprise; Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S.
families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on
behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession,
immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher
rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and
analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal
and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a
lengthy report, are hardly surprising.
Basically, the majority of households across the country benefitting from
publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and
illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest
welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61%
each and Pennsylvania(59%).The study focused on eight major welfare programs
that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to
Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and
Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and
health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).Food assistance and Medicaid are the
programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their
American-born children who get automatic citizenship. On the other hand, legal
immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program,
according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and
resulting low income. The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the
Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%),
according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new
arrivals and established residents.

The study, based on 2010 and
2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S.
at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as
high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent
immigrants.

“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy
are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end
work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190
billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the
labor market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor

“Law enforcement and public safety have taken a back seat to
attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups,” Crane told the panel of
congressmen.
“What we're seeing is our Congress and national leadership
dismantling our laws by not enforcing them. Lawlessness becomes the norm, just
like Third World corruption. Illegal aliens now have more rights and privileges
than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can drive a car without a
driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical care without paying. You
may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy free education at the
expense of taxpaying Americans.”

AMERICA –
MEXICO’S LOOTED COLONY!
Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants
43% on welfare after 20 years
Immigrants
lag behind native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even
those who have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from
the Center for
Immigration Studies,
which argues that full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming
language or cultural differences.
The
study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born
children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress
by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind
native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and
homeownership.
The study, based on 2010 and
2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S.
at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as
high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent
immigrants.
The
report was released at a time when both major presidential candidates have backed
policies that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the
numbers of people coming to the U.S.
Steven A.
Camarota,
the center’s research director and
author of the 96-page study, said it shows that questions about the pros and
cons of immigration extend well beyond the sheer numbers and touch on the
broader consequences of assimilating a population defined by tougher
socioeconomic challenges.
“Look,
we know a lot of these folks are going to be poor, we get it. But don’t tell
the public it’s all going great, which is the story line I think a lot of
people want to sell,” Mr. Camarota said. “There is
progress over time. Every measure shows improvement over time, but still, the
situation does not look like we’d like it to look, particularly for the
less-educated. They lag well behind natives even when they’ve been here for two
decades, and that is very disconcerting.”
Federal
law requires that the government deny immigrant visas to potential immigrants
who are likely to be unable to support themselves and thereby become public
charges.
On
Tuesday, a handful of Republican senators wrote to the Homeland Security and
State departments asking them to explain why they don’t consider whether
potential immigrants would use many of the nearly 80 federal welfare programs
when they evaluate visa applications.
Neither
department responded to messages Tuesday seeking a response to the senators’
letter.
Expanding legal immigration is a contentious issue for
voters, the vast majority of whom tell pollsters that they want the levels
either retained or decreased.
But
most politicians want legal immigration expanded.
During his time in the U.S. Senate, Barack
Obama backed bills that would
have dramatically boosted legal immigration, potentially by hundreds of
thousands a year. As president, he has called for the same thing.

“We
need to provide our farms a legal way to hire workers that they rely on, and a
path for those workers to earn legal status. And our laws should respect
families following the rules — reuniting them more quickly instead of splitting
them apart,” Mr.
Obama said
in a major speech on the subject in El Paso, Texas, in 2011.
His
presumed Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in June called for
increasing legal immigration for students who study in high-tech fields and
admitting unlimited family members of those who hold green cards.
“Our
immigration system should help promote strong families as well — not keep them
apart. Our nation benefits when moms and dads and their kids are all living
together under the same roof,” Mr. Romney told the National
Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.
Mr. Camarota’s report took a broad look
at the immigrant population and found that immigrants are contributing to major
changes in American society, including that one-fourth of public school
students now speak languages other than English at home.
It
also found that immigrants as a population lead complex economic lives that
aren’t easily put into one category or another.
Immigrants
made up more than half of all farmworkers, 41 percent of taxi drivers and 48
percent of maids and housecleaners, but they also represented about one-third
of all computer programmers and 27 percent of doctors.
The
statistics varied greatly by geography. In Massachusetts, native-led households
averaged $89,000 in income while immigrant households averaged $66,000.
In
Virginia, immigrant-led households averaged $93,000 in income, far outstripping
native households’ $80,000 average. Likewise, immigrant families averaged a
larger tax burden in Virginia — though they also had higher rates of use of
welfare or Medicaid.
The center found that use of
public benefits varied dramatically based on where immigrants originated.
Mexicans
were most likely to use means-tested benefit programs, with 57 percent, while 6
percent of those from the United Kingdom did. The rate for native-born
Americans is 23 percent.
Mr. Camarota said a key dividing
line is educational attainment. Immigrants who have been in the U.S. 20 years
and who have bachelor’s degrees or higher make slightly more than the average
native-born American. But immigrants with only high school educations make less
no matter how long they have been in the U.S.
“The
fact is the less-educated in particular — they don’t do well over time,” he
said. “It’s not reasonable to expect an immigrant who comes to America with
only a high school education to close the gap with the native-born.”
Scholars
debate whether the current wave of immigrants will assimilate differently from
those in the 1800s and at the start of the 20th century.
George Borjas, a Harvard University
professor, has argued that second-generation Americans — the children of
today’s immigrants — will fall behind in wages by about 10 percent by 2030.
(THE BELOW
STATS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSIMILATION! COME TO MEXIFORNIA WHERE 90% OF ALL
SERVICE SECTOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE HELD BY MEXICANS. YOU WON’T HEAR THEM
SPEAKING ENGLISH!)
But
in “Assimilation Tomorrow,” a report released in November, Dowell Myers and
John Pitkin said immigrants of the 1990s eventually will attain high rates of
homeownership and 71 percent will become U.S. citizens by 2030.
Those
authors said immigrants were set back by the recent recession but were still on
track to follow the same assimilation path as previous waves of immigrants.
(THE THING IS… MOST SOURCES
PUT THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS AT 40 MILLION AND BREEDING FAST! THERE ARE 12
MILLION OF THESE “11 MILLION” ILLEGALS IN SOUTHERN CA ALONE!)
They
also said a program to legalize the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in
the U.S. would be critical to helping assimilation.
