Officially, there are 53 million foreign-born people in currently in the US. That is about 1 in 7 people.
This is higher both in total number and percentage than the peak of the Ellis Island period.
42 million people currently are on the food stamp program (SNAP). 48% are illegal aliens, 34% are legal immigrants. Neither should be receiving benefits.
Ellis Island immigrants mostly wanted the opportunity of the American Dream.
Millions of current immigrants, both legal and illegal, do not want to assimilate or contribute. They are freeloaders. If an immigrant you cannot afford food, they should go home. Taxpayers should not have to pay for food for people who should not be here.
Fewer people equals lower cost of housing, rent, food, and insurance. Fewer people equal less crime, less crowded schools and hospitals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
