It's not just that SOME illegal immigrants are collecting welfare - actually MOST illegal immigrants are... - Forum

This chart shows exactly what is wrong with the US Immigration and Welfare Systems. FIRST, You will notice that ILLEGAL Immigrants are sucking up the MOST welfare benefits when there should be NO ELIGIBILITY for ILLEGAL Immigrants simply because they are here ILLEGALLY!!! SECOND, you will notice that over 50% of LEGAL Immigrants are sucking up welfare benefits, 13% more than US Citizens. The US Immigration System used to be designed so that no immigrant could immigrate into the United States unless they had the ability to take care of their living expenses and contribute to the economy of the United States of America. Apparently, the US Department of State is failing to properly screen those applying for immigration to the United States to ensure that we are NOT bringing in deadbeats.

If one looks at the amount of money the United States has invested (actually thrown away) in the War on Poverty since the Lyndon B. Johnson Administration, it equals the amount of the National Debt or $38 Trillion. Welfare payments have ballooned since the Obama Administration because just about every piece of legislation which was passed had something to do with Government supervised Wealth Transfer so that the Demoncrats could get rid of the Pesky Middle Class! If President Trump fails to massively REFORM the welfare programs, getting rids of 95% of them and pairing back the 5% that remain, then the United States will one day run out of money, the US Dollar will be worthless, and then we will all live in POVERTY!!!
