More Than Half of Foreign Refugees Are on
Taxpayer-Funded Food Stamps, by John Binder, 8/13/18, Breitbart.
More than half of the annual inflow of foreign
refugees arriving in the United States are on food stamps, a government report
reveals.
Nearly 30 percent of refugees received cash welfare of some sort, while 34 percent of refugees 18-years-old or older said they had no health insurance. Of the refugees who said they did have health insurance, about 50 percent said they were either on Medicaid or Refugee Medical Assistance, both of which are taxpayer-funded.

Since 2008, as Breitbart News reported, the U.S. has permanently
resettled more than 1.7 million foreign nationals and refugees through a
variety of humanitarian programs like the Special Immigrant Juveniles and
the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act. This is a
foreign population larger than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — a city with more
than 1.5 million residents.
An annual report by the Office of Refugee
Resettlement was analyzed by the Center for Immigration
Studies’ Jason Richwine, in which the analyst revealed that about 56 percent of
households headed by foreign refugees who arrived in the U.S. between 2011 and
2015 are using taxpayer-funded food stamps.
The education levels of foreign refugees
coming to the U.S. are also remarkably low. Roughly half of refugees 25-years
or older said they did not have a high school diploma before arriving in the
U.S.
Additionally, only 16 percent of
refugees 18-years or older said they were currently seeking some kind of
degree. The most common degree sought by refugees is a high school diploma.
As Breitbart News‘ Michael Patrick Leahy noted most
recently, President Trump’s administration has historically reduced the annual
inflow of foreign refugees. Under Trump’s “America First” agenda, the U.S. is
on pace to accept less than 23,000 refugees for the Fiscal Year 2018. This
would be the lowest yearly refugee admission in three decades.
