Immigrants and their U.S.-born children make up more than 40 percent of new Medicaid recipients at a cost of $4.6 billion, according to an analysis of government data.

The Center for Immigration Studies, a low-immigration advocacy group, released a report early Thursday that found both legal and illegal immigrants and their minor children made up 42 percent of Medicaid growth from 2011 to last year

And another reason to stop federal government handouts. If the states want to start these programs thats fine. The states can't print money and more states then not want to be responsible with the limited cash they have like Wisconsin for example. And that would mean being much more careful on who gets the government handouts.
