U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday (January 4, 2025) posted a list of several countries, including Pakistan, Bhutan, China, Bangladesh and Nepal, to highlight rates of welfare and assistance received by immigrants from those countries in the U.S., a compilation that does not include India.
The ‘Immigrant Welfare Recipient Rates by Country of Origin’ list includes about 120 nations and territories around the world, whose immigrants in the U.S. receive assistance. India is not on the list.
The chart, posted by Mr. Trump on Truth Social, highlights the immigrants’ country of birth and the percentage of immigrant households receiving assistance.
