Immigration

We keep hearing immigrants come here to work, not for welfare, but this report contradicts that.

"About 51% of immigrant-led households receive at least one kind of welfare benefit, including Medicaid, food stamps, school lunches and housing assistance, compared to 30% for native-led households, according to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration.
Those numbers increase for households with children, with 76% of immigrant-led households receiving welfare, compared to 52% for the native-born."

Those numbers are horribly high for Americans, let alone the immigrants.

Refuge migrants overrunning Czech Republic and Hungary.

"Human rights activists and lawyers have condemned police in the Czech Republic for writing numbers on the arms of migrants after detaining them.

Officers used pens to mark 214 refugees, mostly Syrians, who were detained on a train yesterday at a border crossing from Austria and Hungary.

The measure has provoked anger because it recalls Nazi Germany's practice of writing numbers on concentration camp prisoners."

Lovely.
