70% of TX illegal immigrant families receive welfare

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Has anyone noticed that those commies from Canada and Europe are depending significantly less on any of the welfare than the native Americans and even less than the White subsection of the native Americans? Oh man, that ought to hurt. Outperformed by Canadians and a bunch of old world commies.

Nice figures. What they tell a rational reader is that 'natives' have better financial opportunities that immigrants.

Unless they are immigrants from the UK, India or Canada?

Better finances at home, better educational opportunities, better training to be more competitive when they do come here to stay.

Not just the UK. Old commie Europe in general fares better than the native US population. I suspect that quality educatuion which is readily available in Europe has something to do with that. But let's not think about that and keep slashing education funding here. We can always strive to do worse than Latin Americans and Sub-Saharan Africans. All it takes is bit more hustle on that race to the bottom.

Let's keep giving benefits to the illegals and cut benefits to our own seniors.

And India? Better finances and educational opportunities there?

For many of the ones that come here, sure.

Unlike Mexicans, they at least have enough for a plane ticket.

When looking back at the marvelous figures though, you notice its not just talking about illegals. In fact, there really isn't much mention of illegals at all.

Shoot the Mexicans legally crossing over by car if that's what you're after, but I'm sure most of those that come here the way they're supposed to probably enter by air.

Or, instead of flapping your chubby fingers on the keyboard, you could just post stats you deem reliable.

Sorry Danno, that is not how things work. If you are going to use statistics to make a point, it is your due diligence to ensure that it is not from a biased data source. Either troll harder Danno, or learn to properly use statistics.

Did you miss this part:

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.

I'm sure a lot of Mexicans cross the border legally, but most migrants from

Mexico are (or were) illegal. How many Indians cross the border illegally?

The disparity in the financial resources available to immigrants from India

(both legal and illegal) and immigrants from Latin America (both legal and

illegal) can be explained by a greater percentage of illegals among the latter.

That's why you only brought up that one example- as in 'not much at all.'

But certainly, a much greater absolute number is here, hence the skewed statistics.
