CIS: 7l Percent of Illegal Alien Households with Kids Get Welfare

The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that 71 percent of illegal alien households with children receive some kind of welfare. Commonly this is the case when the children are born in the U.S. Under the legal provision of birthright citizenship, these children are counted as citizens, and are eligible for welfare on the same basis as other citizens. Each year, according to CIS, between 350,000 and 400,000 of these children were born in the U.S. Only 39 percent of native-headed households with children receive welfare.

AZ Sheriff: Mexican Cartels Control Areas of U.S.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeau took Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on a tour of the Mexican border. Said Babeau: “We flew him in our helicopter, showed him the drug smuggling routes, the actual caves—these cartel scouts live on top of mountains, 30 days at a time . . . over a 50-mile swath of land, and this is only 30 miles from Phoenix. This is literally an unsecured border. We have cartels that think they own the place. They control many areas on American soil and this how they freely move billions of dollars of drugs and hundreds of thousands of illegals into our country.”

Levin: What about Young American Dreamers?

Columnist Mark Levin asked: When is the last time…when is the first time our kids were discussed when we discussed immigration? How can it be that illegal immigrant kids are dreamers? Nobody talks about our kids as dreamers.” Specifically, he asked about the dreams of young Americans who get degrees in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, math) but often can find jobs due to competition from H1-B foreign workers brought in by U.S. companies. Citing U.S. Census Bureau statistics, Levin observed, "Almost 30 percent of young people who graduated in these majors can’t get jobs in those positions and yet you will hear politicians including conservatives say we need tens of thousands more of these H1B visas to bring in more and more people who have these skills. But we have people who have these skills too.”
