Nobody is with her. Yes. you are with her. and all of these other people are with her. but we call it unaccompanied. Then. of course. the President wants $17.613 for every new illegal immigrant who is under 18. which. as the article points out. is more than he would seek for Social Security retirees. Again. from The Washington Examiner. it is talking about author Jason Richwine. who noted that illegal immigrants are barred from directly receiving welfare. but. instead. they get it via their legal children. "Illegal immigrants are barred from directly accessing most. though not all. welfare programs. but they can receive welfare through their U.S.-born children. Legal immigrant households. which have greater eligibility for welfare. cost $6.378. on average. he wrote. "The average household"-again. this is just an average household"headed by an immigrant. legal or illegal. costs taxpayers $6.234 in Federal welfare benefits. "The average immigrant household consumes 33 percent more cash welfare. 57 percent more food assistance. and 44 percent more Medicaid dollars than the average native household. "At $8.251. households headed by immigrants from Central America and Mexico have the highest welfare costs of any sending region. "The greater consumption of welfare dollars of immigrants can be explained in large part by their lower level of education and larger number of children compared to natives. Over 24 percent of immigrant households are headed by a high school dropout compared to just 8 percent of native households. In addition. 13 percent of immigrant households have three or more children versus just 6 percent of native households." So when you do the math. as some people actually have. our Nation is not long for the world unless we get on a lawful track. I have seen and had signs shoved in front of my face over in front of the Supreme Court that Jesus was an immigrant and that Jesus was a refugee. This thing I know from everything we have been taught. from everything that is in the Bible. is that Jesus was never an illegal immigrant. Jesus made clear you render unto Caesar that which is Caesars. You follow the law.
