A new study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that the average immigrant household, both legal and illegal, costs American taxpayers $6,234 in welfare benefits a year.

One third of American states today have an immigrant population over 15 percent. (Examiner)

In 1970 no states has immigrant population over 15 percent.
In 1970 the US debt was $370 billion.
In 2016 the US debt is $18.8 trillion.

The Center for Immigration Studies reported:

In September 2015, the Center for Immigration Studies published a landmark study of immigration and welfare use, showing that 51 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one federal welfare program — cash, food, housing, or medical care — compared to 30 percent of native households. Following similar methodology, this new study examines the dollar cost of that welfare use.

• The average household headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) costs taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare benefits, which is 41 percent higher than the $4,431 received by the average native household.
• The average immigrant household consumes 33 percent more cash welfare, 57 percent more food assistance, and 44 percent more Medicaid dollars than the average native household. Housing costs are about the same for both groups.
• At $8,251, households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico have the highest welfare costs of any sending region — 86 percent higher than the costs of native households.
• Illegal immigrant households cost an average of $5,692 (driven largely by the presence of U.S.-born children), while legal immigrant households cost $6,378.

We must keep wages depressed so that the 1% get richer and provide lots of campaign cash to the two major political parties.

Cost a hell of a lot more in infracture and the price of housing increase due to housing shortage and lowering of wages. Wellfare is nothing.

Funny how the dems with a super majority never got around to addressing the 1%. They talked about it, but then all of sudden forgot.

And...lets not forget that the D party is about to nominate a candidate absolutely owned by the 1%.
