Illegal Immigrants and Statistics

Content: Indeed, immigrants are ineligible for federal welfare even though they pay taxes. And even though they are not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, the U.S. government doesn’t discriminate in times of emergency. Medical professionals are expected to treat any case of an emergency regardless of the patient’s immigration status. Legal and illegal migrants have been vilified by grossly exaggerating their access to federal welfare. But the evidence that they are a minor burden on the public welfare system is in clear contradistinction to anti-immigration claims. So, the claim that illegal refugees receive over $3,800 a month through federal assistance is false!
