As of 2021, approximately 3.6 million individuals in Texas receive some form of welfare benefits, including programs like Medicaid, SNAP (food stamps), and TANF (cash assistance). The exact number may vary over time due to fluctuations in eligibility and economic conditions.
As of my last update, approximately 350,000 individuals in Connecticut were receiving some form of public assistance or welfare benefits. This includes programs such as Temporary Family Assistance (TFA), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and various health care assistance programs. For the most accurate and current statistics, it is advisable to check with the Connecticut Department of Social Services or relevant government resources.
Welfare is very helpful to those that are in need. Many people need Government Assistance to help them get back on their feet. Because of welfare many less fortunate people can eat and have a place to live every day.
By Law, an illegal and even a legal resident (to a certain degree) cannot receive any welfare benefits. However, some illegal immigrants can get benefits by acquiring illegal social security cards (fake numbers) or from stolen social security cards (stolen identity). On a side note, children of illegal immigrants that are born into this country are considered legal American citizens because of "Jus Soli" which means "right of the soil" (birthright) by the 14th amendment. They can receive welfare benefits and any of the privelages and rights of any American Citizen. The way you can get deported if the ICE through the police or some other entity notifies them that a person is an illegal immigrant.
