Not doing the jobs Americans won’t do: 70% of illegal aliens in Texas receive welfare

Illegal aliens crossing the border to line up at the welfare office

A new study has found that a remarkable 70% of illegal aliens in Texas are on the dole. Since only 39% of native born Americans are on welfare, it makes one think that the phrase “doing the jobs Americans won’t do” should be changed to “not doing the jobs that Americans won’t do.”

The Houston Chronicle tells the terrible tale of Texas taxes:

Thirteen years after Congress overhauled the American welfare system, 57 percent of immigrants with children — those in the country legally or not — use at least one government, welfare program according to a report released Tuesday by the Center for Immigration Studies.

In comparison, 39 percent of native-born Americans with children are signed up for welfare, the report found.

In Texas, 54 percent of legal immigrants and 70 percent of illegal immigrants receive welfare assistance, with illegal immigrants generally receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, according to the study, written by a think tank that favors reducing immigration into the U.S.

Overall, Texas tied with California and New York for the second highest immigrant welfare rates behind Arizona.

Congratulations, Texas. Keep up the good work and you’ll be number uno in no time at all.

  • My son has autism, which has impacted my ability to earn a wage. My ex husband decided he just didn't want to deal with it, so he left. Single mom, two kids one with a significant disability.

    We get housing, food stamps, SSI and Medicaid.
    Housing assistance provides $670 a month in rental assistance. We pay rent + all utilities. Food stamps comes to $200 on average per month. My son gets an SSI check for $350 a month. Total the government spends $14,640 a year + medical costs for my son. However, because of people like me we provide how many people a job?

    If the government took my son and placed him in institutionalized care, it would cost on average $57,000 a year + medical costs.

    Cost savings to taxpayers $42360 a year.

  • Greetings to the Board of Dummies:
    This is my last time posting on your site - as I fully understand what you folks are - lets just say - I don't like you and you don't like me - I suppose thats enough.

    But - I want to point out a few things.

    1. You have a picture of Illegal Mexicans on your front page: this site deals with Illegals Drawing Welfare.
    1.A. I posted about Illegal Mexicans drawing welfare - and what should be taking place to the best of my ability.
    1.B. drb says -- I have singled out one group - as there are many immigrants drawing welfare - even though this is true - your picture concerns Mexican Immigrants - and of all Illegal Immigrants in the United States - Mexican Illegal Immigrants are the largest % by far.
    1.C. drb - get your facts together - your an idiot.

    2. To Kimmy Queen: Well, I pegged what you are without even knowing!
    2.A. Da Queen - can you figure out why????

    3. To Robert W --- You are the one who threatened to -- and I quote -- "Kick My Hiney".
    3.A. Point and fact -- I have not even once threatened anyone.

    4. To Sidekick: You have called me a biggot!
    4.A. What in the world is being a biggot anyway? You know - you folks are so dumbed down - you wish to pretend that each race by nature has a preference for its own: this preference is a deeply rooted psychological makeup of all people - such as an example: When one dreams - they dream about people who are of the same race. Sick-Kick - figure it out!

    5. Da Queen: You say I'm old and out of touch - well, perhaps so; but let us examine a few MODERN Economics, and Social Concepts -- ask yourself - do you honestly like the way our nation and world as an entire is going - the direction of -- as it were?

    Well - I could carry on -- but simply have no time to mess around with all of that.

    Don't worry - I won't be back - but wanted you folks to see whats taken place.

    I fully understand that you folks a non-white social liberal communistic types - so therefore, I do not belong -- such as Da Queen was getting at - that thing that all of you kiss up to is correct.

    Good luck: I will not be back - but I will forward this to others within my circle - and do some digging - ohhhhh you know how digging can be - lots and lots of fun getting down to the bottom of it all - can't wait - should be an interesting fall.

    • Hunter, I hope the door didn't hit you in the face on the way out...It would be a shame to damage that Einstein like cranium of yours..please feel free NOT to ever stop by again... Racism comes in many forms and colors, you have some issues...Top help you, how about you go off and spout your shit fer brains statements at say a Cinco De Mayo party...I'm sure it would be fun to watch...

    • Be sure to send us a photo of you and "your circle". I'm sure you all look dandy in your sheets and hoods.

    • He says that I made a true statement and then tells me to get my facts straight? And that makes me the idiot?

      OK

    • Remarkably confused insane type. He'll be back to vent spleenards while referring to the conservative base here as liberals because we refuse to slobber along with his racist rant.

    • BYE!!!!!!! You are still a lame and a pathetic fool. After a while I won't remember you as I forget lame racists eventually. You on the other hand will always be a lame pathetic ancient fool. Bye Fool!

  • The votes are in and Mickey J is out. Bye bye, MJ. Now we'll just see if he figures out another way to make comments.

        • Indeed they have and that is what true freedom is all about. He is free to be an idiot all he wants, and we are free to be free from his idiocy. The fool probably went to a friend and used the computer to TRY pathetically to have a last dig at us. With some empty threats Please...

  • It is hilarious to me that you actually think anything you have to say matters or is in anyway a successful attempt at insult. Everything you say and are is lame. Let it go, you are not going to convince anyone here that you have a usable brain. However, go ahead and have your last word, then go away. Like I said, no one with a usable brain cares about your stupid rants.

  • Anyone who entertains Illegal Mexicans has a serious mental problem -- either that - or they are such as a Liberal Communist >>> Ohhhh Ya -- I'm Sure the Illegal Mexican enjoys the free life - while white america pays for it - and all the while - watches while they lose jobs - pay - benefits - freedoms - and then - can clearly see the US national Debt going up so high - even the interest can't be paid.

    You folks really like that -- if so -- your not an American....

  • Hello Da Queen -- or should I call you the Afro Queen.

    Let me ask - do you honestly enjoy the idea of Illegal Immigrants coming into the US by force and in numbers - drawing 20 kinds of welfare - only to result in mass numbers of ILLEGAL MEXICAN drug gangs - Illegal Drugs all over the streets -- American Prisons being packed with violent ILLEGAL MEXICANS -- Increased Taxation of White America -- and loss of american Jobs - plus wages and benefits..

    Is that something you like????

  • You say I'm vile and out of date?

    I'm the only one speaking out about Illegal Mexicans - the very ones who have destroyed the United States.

    No No - Your the trash -- the Mexican User - the Illegal Invader.

    No matter how many of your Illegal Mexican Comrades try to flag my entries - no matter how much effort you put into trying to stop the white americans from spreading the truth - we and I will continue - this is my state and my nation - and will go to my grave spreading the word - get use to it...

    • Blah blah blah blah blah blah.... You are one of those people that loves to have the last word or else loves to create problems because that is the only form of human contact you can get. Pathetic. Just go away, no one here wants to read your crap. You are just another racist slob that has nothing to offer. Take your crap and spread it somewhere else, no one wants to smell what you are cooking.

  • You don't need to - I can see your not in the same pond that I'm in - my people don't need you anyway.

    What a bunch of ignorant Liberal Communists you are.

    • You are right, I am not in the same pond as you, because I am not scum like you.

      You are an ancient man who has obviously not apported anything meaningful to the world with all that bile, you are tired and you are angry and that makes you pitiful... No one with a brain wants you here, so you can go elsewhere and scatter your pungent ancient angry bilious scummy excrement elsewhere.
