California—not Mississippi, New
Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the United States.
According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure—which accounts
for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes
noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one out of four
Californians is poor. Kerry Jackson

California’s de facto
status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a
permanent majority in the state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance
in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long
been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political
price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers
remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove
California to its golden years. Kerry Jackson

As Breitbart News reported, if chain
migration is not ended — as President Donald Trump has demanded — the U.S.
electorate will forever be changed, with between seven to eight million new
foreign-born individuals being eligible to vote because of chain migration, and
overall, an additional 15 million new foreign-born voters.

Refugees cost taxpayers $60K-$133K — more
than for illegal immigrants
Even more than
immigrants, especially those in the United States illegally, refugees who enter
the country and tap into social welfare programs cost taxpayers
$60,000-$133,000, according to a new analysis.
In its latest report on
the costs to U.S. citizens for its welcoming immigration and refugee policies,
the Center for Immigration Studies said it was bringing accuracy to the issue
of costs to help policymakers in the immigration field.
It said that the
reports on refugee costs are inaccurate, do not include all programs refugees
tap, and do not take into account the education level of new arrivals, a key to
whether they will be a burden or not.
“In reality, the fiscal
impact of refugee resettlement is just one aspect of a more complex issue
involving economic, social, and political considerations. The purpose of this
report is not to argue that all refugee resettlement is wrong, but rather to
remind policymakers that there are costs associated with the program,” said the
authors of The Fiscal Impact of Refugee
Resettlement: No Free Lunch for Taxpayers.
“Specifically, we find
that the average refugee will cost around $60,000 in net present value over his
or her lifetime, with adult refugees costing upwards of $133,000. These costs
are due mainly to the low levels of education possessed by refugees upon their
arrival,” they added.
The refugee issue has
been a hot one under President Trump. He has cut the numbers of refugees
allowed into the U.S. each year and has asked states to say if they want
refugees.
In its report, CIS said
that some reports on refugee costs are inaccurate because they do not include
all programs refugees tap. Further, the reports lump the more educated refugees
who arrived a generation ago, with today’s refugees who arrive much less
educated. The report states that refugees who arrived a generation or two ago were
often quite educated, but government data indicates that today’s refugees only
have nine years of schooling on average.
Steven Camarota, the
center's director of research and co-author of the report, said, "The low
education attainment level of so many of today's refugees means they need a
great deal of government assistance. Given these costs, policymakers have to
decide if it makes more sense to settle a modest number here or help many more
people overseas."
His key points pulled
from the report:
- "The
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine developed a
model that estimates the lifetime fiscal impact of new immigrants,
counting all taxes paid and services consumed at the federal, state, and
local levels. Educational attainment is the most important predictor in
the model. Generally speaking, highly educated immigrants will contribute
more in taxes than they consume in services, while immigrants with low
levels of education will contribute less than they consume."
- "Based
on data from the Annual Survey of Refugees, one-third of refugees between
the ages of 25 and 64 completed no more than the sixth grade before their
arrival in the United States. About 53 percent have less than a high
school diploma. Only 18 percent have education beyond high school."
- "Because
the National Academies model is based on all immigrants at each education
level, some adjustments are required for refugees who, unlike most
immigrants, impose administrative costs for resettlement and can access
welfare payments immediately. After these adjustments, our cost estimate
rises to $60,000 per refugee."
- "Although
the fiscal impact of refugees is negative overall, it differs
significantly across age groups. Refugees who enter as adults (age 25 and
over) have a large negative impact under every plausible model. Refugees
who enter as children may have a positive impact, although this requires
optimistic assumptions about mobility."
- "No
plausible model, not even the National Academies’ best-case scenario,
comes close to suggesting that refugees who enter as adults will be net
fiscal contributors. Refugee-specific costs add about 22% over and above
the cost of other immigrants, but low education by itself is enough to
push adult refugees' estimated fiscal impact well into negative territory.
The National Academies is more optimistic about the children of low-skill
adult immigrants, whom the model assumes will surpass their parents'
education levels. But even with favorable assumptions about refugee
children, the overall impact (all age groups combined) is still clearly
negative."
Study: More than 7-in-10 California Immigrant
Welfare
More than 7-in-10 households headed by immigrants in the
state of California are on taxpayer-funded welfare, a new study reveals.
The latest Census Bureau data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds that
about 72 percent of households headed by noncitizens and immigrants use one or
more forms of taxpayer-funded welfare programs in California — the number one
immigrant-receiving state in the U.S.
Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of households headed by
native-born Americans use welfare in California.
All four states with the largest foreign-born populations,
including California, have extremely high use of welfare by immigrant
households. In Texas, for example, nearly 70 percent of households headed by
immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare. Meanwhile, only about 35 percent of
native-born households in Texas are on welfare.
In New York and Florida, a majority of households headed by
immigrants and noncitizens are on welfare. Overall, about 63 percent of
immigrant households use welfare while only 35 percent of native-born
households use welfare.
President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a
policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the
mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public
charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a
permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the
past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.
The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers
in the form of an annual $57.4
billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for
the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of
1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.
As Breitbart News reported, the majority of
the more than 1.5 million foreign nationals entering the country every
year use about 57
percent more food stamps than the average native-born American
household. Overall, immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash
welfare than American citizen households and 44 percent more in Medicaid
dollars. This straining of public services by a booming 44 million foreign-born
population translates to the average immigrant household costing American
taxpayers $6,234 in federal
welfare.
THE NEW PRIVILEGED CLASS: Illegals!
This is why you work From Jan - May
paying taxes to the government ....with the rest of the calendar year is money
for you and your family.
Take, for example, an illegal alien
with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that
wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year,
if he files an Income Tax Return, with his fake Social Security number, he gets
an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200..... free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing
and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps.
He qualifies for free (no
deductible, no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts
and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and
books.
He qualifies for relief from high
energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind
or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can
qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car
insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language
signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the
equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have
$5.00 or $6.00/hour left after Paying their bills and his.
The American taxpayers also pay for
increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.

A study by Tom Wong
of the University of California at San Diego discovered that more than 25
percent of DACA-enrolled illegal aliens in the program have anchor babies. That
totals about 200,000 anchor babies who are the children of DACA-enrolled
illegal aliens. This does not include the anchor babies of DACA-qualified
illegal aliens. JOHN BINDER
“The Democrats had abandoned
their working-class base to chase what they pretended was a racial group when

DANIEL GREENFIELD / FRONT PAGE MAGAZINE
As
Breitbart News has reported,
U.S. households headed by foreign-born residents use nearly twice the welfare
of households headed by native-born Americans.
Simultaneously,
illegal immigration next year is on track to soar to the
highest level in a decade, with a potential 600,000 border crossers expected.
“More than
750 million people want to migrate to another country permanently, according to
Gallup research published Monday, as 150 world leaders sign up to the
controversial UN global compact which critics say makes migration a human
right.” VIRGINIA HALE
For example, a DACA amnesty would cost American taxpayers about $26 billion, more than the border wall, and that does not include the money taxpayers would have to fork up to subsidize the legal immigrant relatives of DACA illegal aliens.
Exclusive–Steve Camarota: Every Illegal
Alien Costs Americans $70K Over Their
Lifetime
Every illegal alien, over the
course of their lifetime, costs American taxpayers about $70,000, Center for
Immigration Studies Director of Research Steve Camarota says.
During an interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart
News Daily, Camarota said his research has revealed the
enormous financial burden that illegal immigration has on America’s working and
middle class taxpayers in terms of public services, depressed wages, and
welfare.
“In a person’s lifetime, I’ve estimated that an illegal border
crosser might cost taxpayers … maybe over $70,000 a year as a net cost,”
Camarota said. “And that excludes the cost of their U.S.-born children, which
gets pretty big when you add that in.”
LISTEN:
“Once [an illegal alien] has a child, they can receive cash
welfare on behalf of their U.S.-born children,” Camarota explained. “Once they
have a child, they can live in public housing. Once they have a child, they can
receive food stamps on behalf of that child. That’s how that works.”
Camarota said the education levels of illegal aliens, border
crossers, and legal immigrants are largely to blame for the high level of
welfare usage by the f0reign-born population in the U.S., noting that new
arrivals tend to compete for jobs against America’s poor and working class
communities.
In past waves of mass immigration, Camarota said, the U.S. did
not have an expansive welfare system. Today’s ever-growing welfare system,
coupled with mass illegal and legal immigration levels, is “extremely
problematic,” according to Camarota, for American taxpayers.
The RAISE Act — reintroduced in the
Senate by Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR), David Perdue (R-GA), and
Josh Hawley (R-MO) — would cut legal immigration levels in half and convert the
immigration system to favor well-educated foreign nationals, thus relieving
American workers and taxpayers of the nearly five-decade-long wave of booming
immigration. Currently, mass legal immigration redistributes the
wealth of working and middle class Americans to the country’s top
earners.
“Virtually none of that existed in 1900 during the last great
wave of immigration, when we also took in a number of poor people. We didn’t
have a well-developed welfare state,” Camarota continued:
We’re not going to stop [the welfare state] tomorrow. So in
that context, bringing in less educated people who are poor is extremely
problematic for public coffers, for taxpayers in a way that it wasn’t in 1900
because the roads weren’t even paved between the cities in 1900. It’s just
a totally different world. And that’s the point of the RAISE Act is to
sort of bring in line immigration policy with the reality say of a large government
… and a welfare state. [Emphasis added]
The immigrants are not all coming to get welfare and they don’t
immediately sign up, but over time, an enormous fraction sign their
children up. It’s likely the case that of the U.S.-born children of
illegal immigrants, more than half are signed up for Medicaid — which
is our most expensive program. [Emphasis added]
households headed by foreign-born
residents
use nearly twice the welfare of households
headed by native-born
Americans.
Every year the U.S.
admits more than 1.5 million foreign nationals, with the vast majority
deriving from chain migration. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million. By 2023, the
Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant
population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S.
population.

year each: Report

Illegal immigrants in
growing numbers are flooding into so-called sanctuary cities and states where
they are consuming up to $6,500 in taxpayer-funded services, according to a new
review of costs in 10 small states.
The surge is having an
outsized effect on smaller states and is cutting funds for services to
veterans, children, and disabled Americans, according to the report provided
exclusively to Secrets from the Federation
for American Immigration Reform.
The report said illegal
immigration costs the 10 states $454 million. “To put that figure into context,
that $454 million expenditure is more than 200 times what the state of Montana
budgets for its entire Veterans Affairs program, and it is 2.5 times the total
sum that West Virginia invests in its state university,” said the report.
And, it added, illegal
immigrants cost between $4,000 and $6,500 annually above any tax benefit they
provide.
“In many ways, the
influx of immigrants into less populous areas of the country has an even
greater impact on long-time residents than it does in larger and more urban
areas,” said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. “These areas have neither the tax
base, nor the economic and social infrastructure to accommodate the needs of
the growing numbers of immigrants taking up residence.”
The 10 states analyzed
in the study, Small
Migrant Populations, Huge Impacts, were New
Hampshire, Mississippi, Alaska, Maine, North Dakota, West Virginia, South
Dakota, Vermont, Montana, and Wyoming.
“Many local officials
tout immigration, including illegal immigration, as a remedy to economic
stagnation. However, as this report reveals, the reality is precisely the
opposite,” said Stein.
He added, “Illegal
immigration, in particular, drives down wages and inhibits job opportunities
for legal residents, while bringing more low-skilled, low-wage workers to these
states. In turn, this increases costs to state and local governments, and
discourages investment by businesses seeking a skilled labor force and lower
overhead.”
The report comes on the
heels of a key U.S. Supreme Court decision to let the Trump administration
block entry to immigrants who are likely to burden taxpayers.
FAIR’s report also
showed that sanctuary cities are a growing attraction for illegal immigrants,
especially in smaller states where the costs of living can be lower.
The key findings from
the report to Secrets:
- In each
of these states, each illegal immigrant resident carried a net tax deficit
of between $4,000 and $6,500 annually.
- Some
415,000 foreign-born reside in these 10 states, of whom about 88,000 (or
21%) are illegal immigrants. Additionally, there are about 35,000
U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants in these states.
- Collectively,
these illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children cost taxpayers in
the 10 states about $454 million each year for the provision of essential
services such as education and healthcare.
- Local
schools struggle to provide educators and cover the costs of instruction
for 50,000 K-12 students classified as Limited English Proficient.
- A
growing number of sanctuary jurisdictions (29 and counting, including the
entire state of Vermont), and lower living costs are a magnet for illegal
immigrants.
- The
growing immigrant population competes with legal residents for jobs in
economically depressed areas.
“This report highlights
the fact that the adverse effects of unchecked mass immigration, combined with
an immigration selection process that does not choose people based on
individual merit, job skills and education, are now being felt in all parts of
the country. Americans, in every part of the nation, are being affected by
antiquated and unenforced immigration policies, which is why it is at the top
of the list of voter concerns heading into the 2020 elections,” said Stein.
