Study: 51 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) received welfare in 2012...

Is anyone surprised by this study? Immigrant households (legal or illegal) should be banned from receiving welfare. We don't need to import welfare recipients. We have enough already.

This study is the first in recent years to examine immigrant (legal and illegal) and native welfare use using the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). While its complexity makes it difficult to use, the survey is widely regarded as providing the most accurate picture of welfare participation. The SIPP shows immigrant households use welfare at significantly higher rates than native households, even higher than indicated by other Census surveys.

• In 2012, 51 percent of households headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) reported that they used at least one welfare program during the year, compared to 30 percent of native households. Welfare in this study includes Medicaid and cash, food, and housing programs.
• Welfare use is high for both new arrivals and well-established immigrants. Of households headed by immigrants who have been in the country for more than two decades, 48 percent access welfare.
• No single program explains immigrants’ higher overall welfare use. For example, not counting subsidized school lunch, welfare use is still 46 percent for immigrants and 28 percent for natives. Not counting Medicaid, welfare use is 44 percent for immigrants and 26 percent for natives.

Mexican given legal status accused of killing Good Samaritan couple...

Jesus Yeizon Deniz Mendoza was arrested for burglary earlier this year, but not deported because he had already gained legal status. Why did Obama let Mendoza in legally? We should lock Barack Obama up with him.

Via The Washington Times:

The man accused of killing two Good Samaritans who tried to help him on a Montana roadside was encountered by immigration authorities earlier this year after a burglary arrest, but was unable to be deported because he had already gotten legal status, federal authorities said this week.
The horrific killing has drawn attention at a time when crimes committed by immigrants are a hot political topic, thanks in part to GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s claim that Mexican society sends bad elements to the U.S.
Jesus Yeizon Deniz Mendoza, an 18-year-old Mexican man, has been charged with the killing of Jason and Tana Shane, who saw him stopped on the side of the road Wednesday and tried to help him. When they showed up on the scene with their daughter, Mr. Deniz pointed a gun at them and demanded money, according to an FBI affidavit filed in the federal court case.

Central American immigrants twice as likely to be on at least one form of public assistance

Liberals don't care. they want everyone on public assistance.

Via Breitbart:

More than half of legal and illegal immigrant households from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are on at least one form of public assistance, according to an analysis of government data by a limited immigration group.

Based on the Census Bureau’s March 2013 Current Population Survey, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that most legal and illegal immigrant heads of households from these three countries received benefits from at least one major benefit program like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), food stamps (SNAP), free/reduced lunch, public/subsidized housing, and/or Medicaid.

Some 57 percent of households headed by an El Salvadoran used one such major welfare program, as did 54 percent of Honduran households and 49 percent of Guatemalan households. By comparison, 24 percent of households headed by a native-born American used at least one of these programs.

While the welfare use among immigrants from these countries is higher, their levels of employment are about on par with native-born Americans.

Wonderful: Latinos with green cards urged to sign up for Obamacare and subsidies...

Immigrants who have green cards are required to sign up for Obaamcare. They also qualify for the taxpayer funded subsidies and/or Medicaid if they meet the low income requirements. Now, you can understand Obama's pivot to immigration reform. 

HOUSTON  – At a Get Covered America forum in Houston on Saturday, Latinos who have permanent resident status, also known as green cards, were instructed in Spanish on how to apply for U.S. citizenship and were encouraged to enroll in the Affordable Care Act.
The two-hour “Neighborhood Centers Citizenship and Immigration Forum” attracted more than 100 people, all of whom appeared Latino.
Hosted at a community center in a low-income area of The Heights neighborhood, the forum was billed on the Get Covered America website as “outreach to people in the community who are seeking citizenship status and would like information about the benefits of the new health reform law.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer is losing sleep over green cards for gay immigrants or something...

Chuckie should take a Sominex and get over himself..

Via Politico:

Sen. Chuck Schumer, a leader of the Senate Gang of Eight, would not commit Thursday to voting for an amendment in the immigration bill that would allow gay Americans to sponsor their foreign partners for green cards.

Schumer stressed that he backs the amendment, but all four Republican negotiators say they would not be able to support the immigration bill if the language was included.
“Look, this one is something … I worry about all the time,” Schumer told reporters during a break in the day-long Judiciary Committee markup of the legislation. “I’m a good sleeper, but I wake up in the morning thinking of these things, sometimes early in the morning.”

When asked if he would vote for the amendment, called the Uniting American Families Act, Schumer said: “I’m not going to get into speculatives.”

43 percent of long-term immigrants are on some form of welfare

This study included both legal and illegal immigrants. Their long-term welfare rate was double native born Americans. In other words, they are Democrats.

Via Washington Times:

Immigrants lag behind native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which argues that full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural differences.

The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.

The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

Russian immigrants flee Democratic Party

The Socialistic policies remind them too much of what they fled from in their native land.

(SI Live.com) — Many Russian immigrants to the “red borough” of Staten Island are flocking to the Republican Party, saying that the national Democrats’ “socialistic” policies remind them too much of the top-down oligarchy they fled in their native land.
With many of the borough’s Russian arrivees already owning businesses and active in civic organizations, their muscle could help the Island GOP solidify electoral gains made this year, when the party took back congressional and Assembly seats.

Bill O'Reilly Talking Point: Obama Could Face Impeachment If He Pardons Illegals (video)

There are reports President Obama is considering bypassing Congress and granting unilateral amnesty to millions of illegal immigrant if his attempts at immigration reform fail. Bill Oreilly said, "an impeachment movement would explode," if Obama tried this usurpation of congressional authority.



Newsmax reported:

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.

“If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode,” O'Reilly said Friday night on his “Talking Points” segment during his top-rated Fox show.

At the same time, O'Reilly said he did not believe reports that the Obama administration would grant such a blanket amnesty...

Arizona Immigration Law Already Working: 100,000 Illegal Immigrants Flee

Since Arizona has passed a law allowing law enforcement to check immigration status of suspected individuals, over 100,000 illegal immigrants have fled the state. The citizens of Arizona must be ecstatic. I wonder where they went? California is nice this time of year. They love illegal immigrants and have plenty of money are broke.

CBS News reported:

On a dusty block in Phoenix, 15 years of the Quintana family’s possessions are for sale.

Manuela Quintana said that they decided to leave when the Arizona governor signed the new immigration law.

For years, their family thrived with jobs in restaurants and construction, reports CBS News correspondent Kelly Cobiella. Their 10 children were born here and are U.S. citizens. Both she and her husband are undocumented, and currently unemployed.

She said that her biggest fear is...

Team Obama Wants To Legalize 14 Million Illegal Immigrants

With 10.2% unemployment that may actually be approaching 20% real unemployment, why would anyone in their right mind want to legalize 14 million people who came here by breaking our laws. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said this is what Team Obama will push for as their version of "immigration reform."

(CNSNews.com) –Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that the Obama administration will push for “immigration reform” by giving the estimated 14 million people who are in the United States illegally “fair pathway to earned legal status.”

The only way illegal immigrants can "get right with the law" is by turning themselves in for deportation. How can any illegal immigrant pass a criminal background check, when they are by definition criminals because they have come here illegally. In addition, many illegal immigrants are guilty of identity theft.

Census Workers Will Ignore Immigrant "Legal Status"

The number of Representatives each state gets is apportioned by the Census. This is why Democrats and Team Obama wants to count all the illegal immigrants. They will let nothing stand in their way.

NOLA.com reported:

The Commerce Department and Census Bureau declared Tuesday that an amendment by Sen. David Vitter, R-La., to require the 2010 census to ask all persons their citizenship and immigration status would scuttle any chance that the census could be done on time...

The decennial census, required by the Constitution to count all "persons," is used for the purposes of congressional apportionment and legislative redistricting. The result is that places with more people -- regardless of their status -- get more representation.

Democrats say 'illegals' are not eligible for Obamacare, but no requirement for photo ID will be permitted

Democrats say illegals are not eligible for Obamacare, but no requirement for photo ID will be permitted. You can not get on an airplane, open a bank account, cash a check or buy cigarettes (if you are young) without a photo ID, but you will be able to sign up for Obamacare benefits without one. Democrats defeated a proposed requirement by Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa)that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for Obamacare.

The Hill reported:

Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.

Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the government using false or stolen identities to obtain benefits.

Grassley's amendment was beaten back 10-13 on a party-line vote.
