A welfare scheme has just been exposed that American taxpayers everywhere need to know about. Social Security recipients in particularly should be both concerned and enraged by what is going on.
For years, millions of Americans have felt like the Democratic Party has been prioritizing illegal aliens over the law-abiding citizens who actually pay taxes in this country.
Unfortunately, this was essentially confirmed on Tuesday. It was then that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) took to the Senate floor to expose a welfare scheme that should enrage all American taxpayers, regardless of their political affiliations.
Rubio revealed that recent immigrants to the U.S. can often get more in federal payouts than Social Security recipients who have been paying into the system for their entire lives. These Social Security recipients are now oftentimes getting meager benefits compared to what illegal aliens and other immigrants are receiving, according to Rubio.
Rubio Exposes Welfare Scheme
From Breitbart:
“One of the things I see a lot in South Florida are people that have been in this country — they may have came from Cuba 45 years ago. They’ve worked here their entire lives. They retire. They get $800, $900, $1,000 a month from Social Security,” Rubio said. “And they run into somebody who just got here from Cuba three months ago, 29 years old, doesn’t work, and he’s given $1,500 a month in benefits by our government ’cause they’re ‘refugees.’”“That ‘refugee,’ a year later, is traveling back to Cuba 15 times,” Rubio continued. “So, you’re a refugee fleeing oppression from a place that you now go back and visit 15 times the following year.”
“And in the meantime,” Rubio added, “We’re giving you Medicaid, food stamps, health care for your children, cash payments from the refugee fund. So, imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here.”
This was also exposed during last month’s presidential debate. There, Donald Trump repeatedly accused President Joe Biden of allowing a flood of migrants into this country. Once in the U.S., Trump claimed that these migrants are taking both jobs and government benefits from law-abiding Americans.
The mainstream media fired back by spending days on end accusing Trump of lying about these claims about migrants. What Rubio had to say on the Senate floor yesterday, however, indicated that Trump was telling the truth after all.
The Stats Don’t Lie
When checking the stats, they back up both Rubio and Trump. A 2022 study from the Center For Immigration Studies found that 54 percent of households in this country that are headed by a migrant used one or more major welfare program. In contrast, just 39 percent of households headed by a natural-born American citizen does this.
This same study also showed that compared to U.S.-born households, immigrant-led households far more frequently earn food-related welfare, Medicaid, and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
This is what happens when America Last politicians are allowed to stay in power for years on end. It’s nothing short of despicable that this has escalated to this point. Natural-born Americans who have been paying into Social Security for their entire lives are sometimes receiving less in benefits than migrants. What has our country come to?!
Democrats will continue to claim that it’s pure nonsense to allege that illegal aliens are being prioritized over Americans. The numbers, however, tell a different story.
Key Takeaways:
- Marco Rubio has exposed a welfare scheme that is seeing Social Security recipients sometimes get less in benefits than immigrants.
- Trump had tried to warn the world about things like this happening under the Biden administration during last month’s debate. He was subsequently accused of lying by the mainstream media.
- The stats back up both Rubio and Trump’s claims. They show that migrant-led households are far more likely to be getting welfare benefits than U.S.-born households. The American people are being put last, once again.
