Whether or not illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans won’t do, they’re certainly getting benefits Americans don’t get. This is the finding of a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report stating that a whopping 70 percent of illegal-immigrant households with children receive handouts via a government program. The rate for immigrant households with children overall (both legal and illegal) is 57 percent, versus only 39 percent for such native households.
This puts the lie to open-border advocates’ claim that immigration is a net plus for our nation. While this might have been true prior to the nanny state’s rise, when immigrants had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, today’s statist, entitlement culture has changed that equation. As pressing one for English and Mexican flags waved in street protests evidence, many today come here not to assimilate but because “America, land of the free” has come to mean free stuff for non-Americans.
And it isn’t simply that immigrants are more likely to be on the dole — they also outstrip native Americans in terms of raw numbers. Writes Examiner.com’s Jim Kouri, “According to analysis by Judicial Watch, the majority of households across the country benefiting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal.”

They come with babies and continue to make babies to make the welfare checks and the free hands outs greater this is just a means to trick the thinking of our government. These greedy criminals are criminals in every aspect of the word they all need to be deported I would like to see the congress and the president, lobbyists and special interest groups be stripped down to nothing like most American citizens especially blacks and it would be interesting of how much they would push for the dream act or amnesty they would have a heart attack if they had to live like most citizens in this country. This is bull shit and must be stopped these blood sucking leeches are worthless and continue to cost the tax payers too much money and lost of treasures in their reckless behavior They call for every public service to run to their beckoning call and pay for nothing they have literally destroyed this country and now it’s the citizens turn to send them back to their homelands along with their drum majorettes Durbin Guiterrez, Obama, Reid and Schakowsky, grivijla,Jesse Jackson Jr.,Danny Davis, and many others. Good riddance we don’t need or want them here let the ones who follow our laws enter and live the American dream.I cannot wait until they are all up for re election there won’t be enough hispanics to save them its past time for them to leave government employment and join the unemployment line.
