Historically, immigrants in the U.S. have been less likely than the native-born population to receive welfare benefits, but various studies and reports indicate that welfare participation among immigrants has increased in recent years. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including changes in immigration patterns, the legal status of immigrants, and shifts in policy that may affect eligibility and access to welfare programs.
