Sean Hannity and guest declare that U.S.-citizen children of undocumented immigrants are a “welfare” burden Written by Media Matters Staff Published 03/22/21 7:21 PM EDT Sean Hannity and guest attack US-born children of undocumented immigrants as a welfare burden March 22, 2021 Audio file Citation From the March 22, 2021, edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show SEAN HANNITY: How much does it cost the average American? STEVE CAMAROTA: If you count all of the illegal immigrants and then all the costs that their US born children create -- right? There are maybe 5 million now children who are minors who are the children of illegal immigrants. But you could easily hit 100 billion dollars every year in total costs associated with illegal immigration, especially if you count the US-born children. Because remember, all of those children at birth are immediately eligible for every welfare program and about half of all illegal immigrant households receive some form of welfare.
