As the Trump administration works on deporting the millions of illegal immigrants that the Biden administration let in through the southern border, Democrats and the left have insisted that America is “a nation of immigrants.” It’s just another attempt to twist words and meanings to fit their ideology. Traditionally, immigrants expected to come to the U.S. and work hard to achieve success. As if we didn’t already suspect, today’s immigrants appear to have a very different idea of what coming to America is.
According to a recent analysis of Census Bureau data by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), almost half of households headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal, receive one or more forms of welfare. The Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement showed that roughly 47 percent of immigrant households are on at least one form of welfare. When the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit is added in, the percentage jumps to 54 percent.
