"Based on their use rate of major welfare programs, we roughly estimate that illegal immigrants receive $42 billion in benefits, or about 4 percent of the total cost of the cash, Medicaid, food and housing programs examined in our study."
-- Dr. Steven Camarota, testimony before the Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, addressing the impact of illegal immigrants on public services.
