This is bullshit. Donald Trump isn't a credible source on statistics about immigration. The highest percentage I can find for food stamps is 54% and a high percentage of food stamps recipients are employed.

Asylum seekers in the US are a net positive source of revenue. They also create jobs and drive economic growth.

So there's a good percentage there that are working and paying taxes, but need some extra assistance. I don't see a lot of fake news/statistics going around about white immigrants to the US. Funny how it's all Somolis and Hatians that are stuck being smeared by misinformation. What could that be about.
