Now we all know that not each family will have just 1 parent, so that $ rises if there is more than 1 parent piggybacking off of the benefits that their anchor babies are getting. So I don't see how 51% is that far fetched of a number. the difference between 44% and 51% is 800k. That's not unrealistic to say that about 1 out of 5 anchor babies has 2 parents, and that would put us at the 51%. I would suspect that more would have 2 parents.
I think you are missing the point.
51% of immigrants receiving assistance is no where close to a majority of ALL recipients of assistance.
