CATO Study: Immigrants less likely to use welfare

[Winehole23]

Overall, immigrants are less likely to consume welfare benefits and, when they do, they generally consume a lower dollar value of benefits than native-born Americans. Immigrants who meet the eligibility thresholds of age for the en lement programs or poverty for the means-tested welfare programs generally have lower use rates and consume a lower dollar value relative to native-born Americans.3 The per capita cost of providing welfare to immigrants is substantially less than the per capita cost of providing welfare to native-born Americans.

They also pay taxes/SS, try to be good citizens, in the hope they will be normalized eventually.

Repugs LIE that illegal immigrants are a rampant crime source and a big drain on taxpayers.

The methodology is a little shaky. Pulling SSI into this study immediately, significantly inflates the figures for native born. Placing SSI on equal footing as SNAP or TANF is a poor data point imo.

[Winehole23]

Fair.

I have always appreciated your take on polls and studies because you know how to look at the parameters.

Do thety embrace the 1 Amendment full heartedly? Do they see that a guide to their own dealings?
