SCANDAL: Nearly 50% of Muslim migrants are on welfare according to report by Congress

According to a breaking congressional report, nearly half of the refugees from Syria, Libya, and Iraq are on welfare, food stamps, and other forms of government assistance.
This is in the wake of the Brussels Belgium terror alert.
Middle Eastern and African refugees in the United States are much more likely than refugees from anywhere else in the world to be on welfare, a government report from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR)—provided to Congress and obtained by Breitbart News ahead of its public release—shows.
When it comes to cash assistance programs, a whopping 39.2 percent of refugees from the Middle East receive TANF—Temporary Assistance for Needy Families—cash benefits. A similarly high percentage of refugees from Africa—18.9 percent—are on TANF benefits, the chart on page 107 of the 112 page report shows. ( See below.) The data is based on Fiscal Year 2014 and was provided to Congress by ORR.
Those two regions—Africa and the Middle East—according to a breakdown in the previous year’s report, are mostly made up of predominantly Muslim countries. The countries that comprise the Middle East are all predominantly Muslim nations: Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.
African nations are listed as: Benin, Burundi, Central African Republic, Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Liberia, Malta, Rwanda, South Africa, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Of those, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan are predominantly Muslim nations, while most of the rest of the African nations here have sizable Muslim populations, according to the Pew Research Center.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), TANF is basically a program through which the federal government—using state governments, through block granting—puts cash right in the pockets of its beneficiaries.
