In addition to this there are 12.9 million legal permanent residents and approximately 11 million more are so-called "Illegal" immigrants.
Over half of the states have used state funds to provide TANF, Medicaid, and/or CHIP to immigrants who are subject to the five-year bar on federally funded services, or to a broader group of immigrants.
Five states and the District of Columbia offer or will offer public or private health coverage with state subsidies to all otherwise eligible immigrants regardless of their immigration status.
Legal immigrants do not jeopardize their legal status by applying for additional taxpayer funded benefits such as food stamps: "SNAP enrollment will NOT affect your ability to remain in the United States, get a green card/permanent resident status, keep your green card/permanent resident status, or become a U.S. citizen."
All these foreign nationals, regardless of status, are free to send their children to government childcare centers known as "Public schools." Because of this, state and local governments disproportionately bear the burden of supporting undocumented immigrant foreign nationals.
A variety of organizations have attempted to quantify the extent to which both naturalized immigrants and current foreign nationals use welfare programs.
In the NA study, immigrant households with children utilized welfare programs at higher rates in nearly every US state.
