Welcome to the USA. Land where half the population is freeloaders.
>From the Washington
Times<http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/8/slow-path-to-progress-for-us-immigrants/?roi=echo3-12793585149-9373082-99fe0b96b0f78c70e7a7e6e9f852d364&utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell>

immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare
benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans* and
nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.
The report was released at a time when both major presidential candidates
