*Rising Cost Of Second Underclass
Central American immigrants break the mold of traditional American underclass behavior: They work. Even so, the Mexican welfare receipt is twice as high as that of natives, in large part because Mexican-American incomes are so low and remain low over successive generations.
Welfare use actually rises between the second and third generation – to 31% of all third-generation Mexican-American households. Illegal Hispanics make liberal use of welfare too by putting their American-born children on public assistance. In Orange County, Calif., nearly twice as many Hispanic welfare cases are for children of illegal aliens as for legal families.
