Illegal Aliens are an Economic Issue/The Importance of Participation Rates to Accelerate Returns on Index Products

Aug 24, 2026

In the early 70's, there were about 4 million SNAP recipients, or about 1/50 Americans. In 2026, there are nearly 40 million SNAP recipients, or about 1/9 Americans. Government statistics show over half or illegal aliens. Another third are non-citizens. Less than 20% of SNAP recipients are US citizens.

 

The 9-fold increase was not driven by poverty. The poverty is significantly lower in 2026 than in the 1970's.

 

The total of all welfare programs is about $1.5 trillion per year. This is more than our entire military budget. It's more than Social Security. This is more than any other program in the US.

 

Illegal aliens receive welfare. Every illegal deported is a tax cut for US taxpayers.

 

 

The 4 Keys to Maximize Index Returns

1. Strong Performing Index: without knowing the historical index performance, you are flying blind

2. Fees: high fees reduce returns

3. Caps: limit upside gains

4. Participation Rates: higher participate rates can accelerate gains higher than underlying the underlying index

 

A high participation rate can accelerate gains even higher than the underlying index.
