“The problem is that many of those posts on X seem to intentionally twist the facts to fit their narrative.”
C’mon Kizzie. As if the MSM you prefer doesn’t do the same?
Russia, Russia, Russia ring a bell? How about Putins got dirt on him, the Steel Dossier, hooker pee tape, or any of the hundreds of BS narratives your preferred media has pushed for dems, and yes, most knew when they wrote their trash that it was false, but they pushed these lies anyway.
So spare me lectures on media truthfulness and pushing false narratives.
“This report is based on newly released data from the 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Analysis of this data shows both immigrants and the U.S.-born make extensive use of means-tested anti-poverty programs, with immigrant households significantly more likely to receive benefits. This is primarily because the American welfare system is designed in large part to help low-income families with children, which describes a large share of immigrants. The ability of immigrants, including illegal immigrants, to receive welfare benefits on behalf of U.S.-born citizen children is a key reason why restrictions on welfare use for new legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants, are relatively ineffective.
Among the findings:
The 2022 SIPP indicates that 54 percent of households headed by immigrants — naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal immigrants — used one or more major welfare program. This compares to 39 percent for U.S.-born households.
The rate is 59 percent for non-citizen households (e.g. green card holders and illegal immigrants).
Compared to households headed by the U.S.-born, immigrant-headed households have especially high use of food programs (36 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), Medicaid (37 percent vs. 25 percent for the U.S.-born), and the Earned Income Tax Credit (16 percent vs. 12 percent for the U.S.-born).
Our best estimate is that 59 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants, also called the undocumented, use at least one major program. We have no evidence this is due to fraud. Among legal immigrants we estimate the rate is 52 percent.
Illegal immigrants can receive welfare on behalf of U.S.-born children, and illegal immigrant children can receive school lunch/breakfast and WIC directly. A number of states provide Medicaid to some illegal adults and children, and a few provide SNAP. Several million illegal immigrants also have work authorization (e.g. DACA, TPS, and some asylum applicants) allowing receipt of the EITC.
No one program explains the higher overall use of welfare by immigrants. For example, excluding the extensively used but less budgetary costly school lunch/breakfast program, along with the WIC nutrition program, still shows 46 percent of all immigrant households and 33 percent of U.S.-born households use at least one of the remaining programs.
The presence of extended family or unrelated individuals does not explain immigrants’ higher welfare use, as the vast majority of immigrant households are nuclear families. Further, of immigrant households comprised of only a nuclear family, 49 percent use the welfare system compared to 35 percent of nuclear family U.S.-born households.
The high welfare use of immigrant households is not explained by an unwillingness to work. In fact, 83 percent of all immigrant households and 94 percent of illegal-headed households have at least one worker, compared to 73 percent of U.S.-born households.
Immigrants’ higher welfare use relative to the U.S.-born is partly, but only partly, explained by the larger share with modest education levels, their resulting lower incomes, and the greater percentage of immigrant households with children.
Immigrant households without children, as well as those with high incomes and those headed by immigrants with at least a bachelor’s degree, tend to be more likely to use welfare than their U.S.-born counterparts.
Most new legal immigrants are barred from most programs, as are illegal immigrants, but this has a modest impact primarily because: 1) Immigrants can receive benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children; 2) the bar does not apply to all programs, nor does it apply to non-citizen children in some cases; 3) most legal immigrants have lived here long enough to qualify for welfare; 4) some states provide welfare to otherwise ineligible immigrants on their own; 5) by naturalizing, immigrants gain full welfare eligibility.”
Didn’t your mom teach you that “They did it, too!” is not a defense?
It doesn’t matter what other sites or people are doing. It is our responsibility – especially as Christians for whom truth and not bearing false witness are of utmost importance – to double-check and make sure that what we are sharing is not being purposefully twisted as X posts so often do.
FTR, I am pretty sure that I never shared anything on those particular false stories you mentioned, and was probably skeptical about them at the time they were going around.
And I take my own advice. There have been times when I have come across a negative post about Trump, or perhaps someone in his administration, that “seems” likely to be true, but before believing it, let alone sharing it, I look into it. I often find that a quote has been taken out of context in some way.
As I have said a few times in the past, I have sometimes defended Trump when a Facebook friend may have shared one of those out-of-context quotes.
“Unvetted Afghan Refugees have wreaked havoc on our country.
The Biden Administration allowed terrorists, Taliban fighters, and child rapists to enter our country. Yesterday’s horrific attack isn’t an isolated incident.
“BREAKING: TRUMP NUKES 92% OF BIDEN’S PRESIDENCY WITH 1 POST, AUTOPEN EXECUTIVE ORDERS NOW VOID
Trump just declared the vast majority of Biden’s executive orders, pardons, regulations, and signing statements legally void because they were rubber-stamped by staff while Joe was… elsewhere.
And the killshot: if Biden claims he was involved, perjury charges.
This is the most savage delegitimization of an administration in history, and it’s 100% within presidential authority.
“Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen which was approximately 92% of them is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect.
The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally.””

The days leading up to Nov. 17 were excruciating for Blanca, who’s 52 and a single mother, and whose last name we’re not using because of concerns she could be targeted by federal law enforcement due to her immigration status.
She’s among 12,000 undocumented Coloradans who received subsidies from the state to get free health insurance through the OmniSalud program in 2025. But she had to wait to see if she would be selected again.
“I’ll be keeping an eye on my phone, but I know that when I open it, it will be very good news,” Blanca said in an interview in Spanish. “I have that confidence and faith that God knows who needs it.”

The reality the MSM will never tell you about, and buries at every opportunity.
Sure, they’ll share it locally, but refuse to air it nationally despite it being a national problem. It’s lying by omission.
Hard pass on such “journalism”.
Do you know who does cover it all locally and nationally, and links the problems to its rightful source, Islamic radicals?
X, that’s who.
