Sorry you couldn't comprehend what you were reading. So we're left with government data VS what you pulled out of your ass.

Bottom line is that circumstances are MUCH less worse than what you posted.

I like this one in particular. It's in stark contrast to Red State welfare where most of those States get back more federal tax money REDISTRIBUTED to them than they pay in taxes

How much do legal immigrants use federal public benefit programs?

Legal immigrants use federal public benefit programs at lower rates than U.S.-born
citizens. As recently as 2013, the rate at which non-citizens have used public benefit programs
was less than that of U.S.-born citizens. For example, 32.5 percent of native-born citizen adults
receive SNAP benefits compared to 25.4 percent of naturalized citizen adults and 29 percent of
noncitizen adults. In addition to immigrants’ lower rate of SNAP usage, they also receive lower
benefit values, costing the program less.

How much do immigrants contribute to support public benefits programs?

Both documented and undocumented immigrants pay more into public benefit
programs than they take out. According to Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy,
undocumented immigrants contribute an estimated $11.74 billion to state and local economies
each year. However, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for many of the federal or state
benefits that their tax dollars help fund.

Additionally, a few states have completed studies demonstrating that immigrants pay more in
taxes than they receive in government services and benefits. A study in Arizona found that the
state’s immigrants generate $2.4 billion in tax revenue per year, which more than offsets the $1.4
billion in their use of benefit programs. Another study in Florida estimated that, on a per capita
basis, immigrants in the state pay nearly $1,500 more in taxes per capita than they receive in
public benefits.According to Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy,
