The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, has published on social media statistical data showing the percentage of immigrant families in the US receiving social assistance, classified by country of origin.
In the published data, North Macedonia figures at about 33%, which means that approximately one in three immigrant families from North Macedonia living in the US receive social assistance.
This percentage places the country in the middle of the list, significantly below many countries from Africa, the Middle East, and some regions of Latin America, but above some European countries and developed economies.
President Trump’s publication of this data is seen as part of his tough stance on immigration and social system reform, emphasizing the need for policies that, according to him, favor immigrants who contribute economically and reduce dependence on state aid.
