US President Donald Trump on January 4, 2026, shared a chart on Truth Social titled “Immigrant Welfare Recipient Rates by Country of Origin,” listing welfare assistance rates for immigrant households from about 120 countries, notably excluding India while including neighbors like Bangladesh at 54.8%, Pakistan at 40.2%, Nepal at 34.8%, and China at 32.9%. This omission underscores the economic prowess of Indian immigrants, who boast a median household income of USD 151,200 in 2023—surpassing the USD 105,600 average for Asian-headed households—with immigrant-led Indian households reaching USD 156,000, well above US-born Indian households at USD 120,200. From an Indian perspective, the data affirms the global success and self-reliance of the Indian diaspora, bolstering India’s stature amid thriving contributions to the US economy.
