Afghan immigrants increasingly relied on U.S. government welfare and are less educated than in the past, a Center for Immigration Studies report studying Census data from 2019 and released on Tuesday found.

The number of Afghan immigrants living in the U.S. increased from around 44,000 in 2000 to some 133,000 in 2019, with a majority living in California, Texas and Virginia, according to the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Overall, the studies showed that Afghan immigrants were less educated than native-born American nationals and relied significantly more on welfare programs such as food stamps, cash benefits and Medicaid.

Once, I was standing on subway platform next to two asian women conversing in Chinese, and the only intelligible English I heard was "S.S.I.".
