The study includes both legal and illegal immigrants. I was writing about legal immigrants only.Median household income and homeowner rate of 2nd generation immigrants is essential the same as that of the general population. 2nd generation immigrant college graduation is 15% higher than the general population. Crimes rates of both 1st and 2nd generation immigrants are less than the general population. Entrepreneurship of both 1st and 2nd generation immigrants are higher than the general population.Are you replying to may post?The immigrants I know earn their own keep.
It appears that that is not a consideration for you.
I know 6 (legal) immigrant families, 2 of them are related by marriage to members of my immediate family. As far as I know, all the adults have jobs. I'm sure a couple of the families have some form of government support, most likely free and reduce lunch since a family can earn as much $70,000 and still qualify for a reduction in school lunch prices depending on the number in the family.
One thing I have noticed over the years, is all the 2nd generation immigrants in these families are doing better than their parents. Knowing what life was like in the countries they came from allows them appreciate America far more than most Americans. Few native born Americans have ever know real hunger or real fear for their life or what it really means to live in a nation where opportunity is there for the taking.
That’s great news...you’re saying good Americans are only REQUIRED to foster and spoon feed one generation of wetbacks now? HAHA...that’s AWESOME!
I call BULLSHIT!
As far as use of government social services, legal immigrants use less than the general population because they don't qualify for the first 5 years in the country. The only groups of newcomers who can enter the United States and immediately receive social assistance are refugees and asylum seekers.
Unlike native born Americans legal immigrants are required to be self supporting. Financial stability is a key factor when US Citizenship and Immigration Services makes decisions about awarding green cards.
Poor immigrants are the least likely group to use welfare, despite Trump’s claims

So many false claims. Nobody’s sane buys that bullshit.
Report: More than half of immigrants on welfare
As we know we can make the numbers tell any story we like as long as we select the right number.
Illegal Immigrants in every state can receive free and reduce lunches and almost all do because of low family income. So almost all illegal immigrant families have at least one person receiving government support, Free and Reduced Lunches. This skews the data in the report toward heavy use of government support by immigrants. If we eliminate illegal immigrants, the story is quite different.
For context.....
Is it your belief that every inhabitant of the world is entitled to migrate to the US?
