Study: Children Of Immigrants More Likely To Live In Poverty | Thirty percent of children in immigrant families live below the federal poverty line, according to a new report from the Foundation for Child Development, compared to 19 percent of children with U.S.-born parents. A quarter of students whose parents are immigrants do not graduate from high school, and 15 percent have no health insurance, compared to 8 percent of children whose parents are citizens. To help the one in four children in the U.S. who have immigrant parents, the report recommends steps government officials can take, including more investments in education and reforms to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to allow non-citizen immigrants to receive benefits.
