Trump's Welfare Data Omits India: Why Indian Americans Excel Financially
- •Donald Trump shared a chart on Truth Social detailing immigrant welfare usage across 120 countries, notably excluding India.
- •The chart, "Immigrant Welfare Recipient Rates by Country of Origin," showed Bhutan (81.4%), Yemen (75.2%), and Somalia (71.9%) as top recipients.
- •Other South Asian nations like Bangladesh (54.8%), Pakistan (40.2%), and Nepal (34.8%) were listed, but India was absent.
- •Pew Research Centre data indicates Indian Americans are highly successful, with median household incomes significantly above other Asian groups.
- •Experts attribute Indian Americans' low welfare reliance to selective immigration (H-1B visas), high education, and concentration in professional fields.
Why It Matters: India's absence from Trump's welfare data highlights Indian Americans' exceptional financial self-sufficiency and economic success.
