Illegal immigrant households receive an average of $5,692 in federal welfare benefits every year, far more than the average "native" American household, at $4,431, according to a new report on the cost of immigration released Monday.

The Center for Immigration Studies, in an analysis of federal cost figures, found that all immigrant-headed households — legal and illegal — receive an average of $6,241 in welfare, 41 percent more than native households. As with Americans receiving benefits such as food stamps and cash, much of the welfare to immigrants supplements their low wage jobs.
The total cost is over $103 billion in welfare benefits to households headed by immigrants. A majority, 51 percent, of immigrant households receive some type of welfare compared to 30 percent of native households, said the analysis of Census data.
Immigrants receiving the most in the study of 2012 figures come from Mexico and Central America. Their average annual taxpayer funded welfare collection is $8,251, 86 percent higher than the benefits used by native households, said the report.

"While it is important for Americans to understand the rate of welfare use among immigrants, expressing that use in dollar terms offers a more tangible metric that is tied to current debates over fiscal policy. With the nation facing a long-term budgetary deficit, this study helps illuminate immigration's impact on the problem," wrote the report's author Jason Richwine, a Harvard educated analyst of immigration data.

The new report follows another that found President Obama seeking $17,613 for every new illegal minor, more than Social Security retirees get.

Native Americans have been screwed from the get-go, Godfather.

As for those nice brown people from down south- you and I wouldn't be eating very well if not for them. I worked along side a Mexican fellow in the fields one summer. He was just trying to get by. These people are not getting rich- just surviving while we eat like kings and most of us with little understanding of what back-breaking, body ruining work goes into providing that food. Most white people don't do this kind of work, but regardless of color, I suggest everyone spend a summer working in the fields next to a Mexican. Then see how much you complain.

I would wager though that the welfare being given is for a minor child who is also a US citizen. see its written in such a way to suggest its the undocumented head of household that is listed as the recipient.

I don't doubt the work ethic of these people you speak of, work ethic is not divided by color but our countries are divided by borders for many reasons and when our government gives our tax dollars to non tax paying citizens from a different country that bothers me, there needs to be something done about this or the situation will only get worse, we are not a global welfare provider...or we shouldn't be anyway.

as long as bordering countries keep providing $billions every year to illegals who send most of the money home to mexico the problem with poverty in Mexico will never change.

I see that it was referenced by infowars and Allen West. That's all you need to know folks.

There are plenty of things to be outraged about GF. At least get outraged about things that are real.
