U.S.A. – Land of Milk & Honey
By Bob Wilson
A report by the Center for Immigration Studies (www.cis.org) reveals some startling figures about welfare use by families headed by immigrants.
“In 2010, 36 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one major welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid) compared to 23 percent of native households,” summarizes the document which was published by the Center for Immigration Studies and examines a wide variety of topics relating to immigration.

The document breaks down the immigrant families by country of origin and gives specific types of welfare and percentages of the families that used it in 2010. An average fewer than 23% of native households use some type of “welfare” which is specifically defined in the study. [See: Black Population Welfare Bomb]
In contrast, 36% of households headed by immigrants use some type of welfare. Families headed by immigrants from specific countries or areas of the world range from just over 6% for those immigrants from Great Britain to more than 57% of those from Mexico using some type of welfare.
This comprehensive study suggests there are approximately 40 million immigrants in the United States of which more than a 25% of that number — and the largest overall group — originate from Mexico. The study estimates that approximately 28% of immigrants — or just over 11 million — are within the United States illegally.
The study also suggests that nearly 50% of those immigrants originating from Mexico and Central America are here illegally.
This report is very comprehensive and examines various statistics of immigrants currently residing in the United States. Overall, state and federal aid use by immigrant families is much higher than that used by families headed by citizens of the United States.
The large population of immigrants, both legal and illegal in Eastern Washington –and even Spokane– dramatically affects the state’s budget.
The approaching fiscal cliff is forcing congress and the current administration to contemplate cuts to services. Welfare use by immigrants, (plus REFUGEES) both illegally and legally within the United States, should be thoroughly examined and considered while making cuts. >Source
