More than half of those who receive green cards are sitting on benefits: what will they change?

Most of those without U.S. citizenship rely on the country's Social Security system—and are nearly twice as likely to live on benefits as Americans, a new study finds.

The Center for the Study of Immigration used data from the 2014 census of the year to assess the use of benefits and state aid among various households in the country, writes Fox News.

Was foundThat 63% of those who do not have citizenship use some form of social security program. The study also showed that over 10 years, the percentage of non-citizens living on benefits will increase.

Just over half of “all immigrant households (citizen and noncitizen)” receive some degree of public assistance; among “naturalized U.S. citizen households” the figure is half, compared with only 35% of American families.

It also found that households of people without American citizenship and origin are more likely to use Medicaid programs, food stamps, or cash benefits, with the only exception being housing programs where local households are on the same level as immigrant families.

The analysis center said that its report confirms the claims of the Trump administration that non-citizens often pass on government spending.

“The Trump administration has proposed new rules that make it more difficult for potential immigrants to qualify for lawful permanent residence—green cards—if they use or could use U.S. welfare programs,” the center said.

The Trump administration has long called for changes in legislation that would prevent newly arrived immigrants from imposing their security on the state.

In a statement on the 447 pages published on the Internet in September, the Department of Homeland Security reported that immigrants could be denied their right to permanent residence if they received or can receive benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid or housing vouchers.
