That's an inherently difficult thing to ascertain. More than half of Mexican immigrants in the US are illegal and 80% are from Latin America. So if the low-end estimate of 11 million illegals in the US is correct, they account for almost half of the total Hispanic foreign-born population. If the number of illegals has increased over the last decade, of course, their share is higher than that. So the illegal share on food assistance is high--much higher than the native white figure--whether it's above the 59% total Hispanic immigrant figure or below it.

How many of those are illegal, though?

I love these graphs. They make leftist Whites and WNs fume at the same time.
Illegals' welfare usage rates are higher than legal immigrants' usage rates are.
