This is a recently published paper from the Center for Immigration Studies by Jason Richwine in May of this year. Here is the link: http://cis.org/Cost-Welfare-Immigrant-Native-Households
The paper is about the cost of welfare use by immigrant and native households. One of the things I learned from the paper that I hadn't known previously is that immigrants not only have a high percentage of participation in the labor force, but that doesn't mean they don't use welfare, as our welfare system is increasingly meant to support low-income, not just not-working households. So, even though immigrants are by and large industrious, they are still using a lot of welfare.
I will also attach a video of Stefan talking to the author of the paper on immigration in general, it is a measured and intelligent discussion that expands beyond the scope of the paper.
Also, to briefly address the idea that immigrants create jobs for natives in the economy, I will reproduce the methodology and numbers from chapter 7 of Cuckservative by Vox Day.

In 1980 working age population was 142,520,008 and employment-population ratio was 60.0. This means there were 85,512,005 jobs in 1980. From 1980 to 2015, 33,180,780 legal immigrants and 11.3 illegal immigrants for a total of 44,480,780. For each immigrant to create 2.5 jobs that would mean there would have to be 196,713,955 jobs in 2015. The working-age population in 2015 was 204,026,416 and employment-population ratio dropped to 59.3, meaning there were only 120,987,665 jobs. The maximum number of jobs created, if all new jobs were assumed to have been created by immigrants alone, would be .8, which isn't even the 1.2 number that others have cited. In conclusion, immigration does not mean more jobs, and also welfare remains high.
