The Center for Immigration Studies released a study on Monday showing that the average household headed by an immigrant costs the goverment 41 percent more in welfare benefits.
"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 study said.
This follows an earlier CIS study that showed that 51 percent of immigrant-led households used as least one welfare program.
“Immigrants are such heavy users of welfare not because they don’t work, but because, on average, they have little education and thus earn low wages,” said CIS Executive Director Mark Krikorian. “If we continue to permit large numbers of less-educated people to move here from abroad, we have to accept that there will be huge and ongoing costs to taxpayers.”

This can't be true. You just hate welfare recipients.
