Ted Cruz: “10 years later, [Somali immigrant headed households have]…”

“And the person who heads the household are these Somali immigrants. And you've got 81% of them on welfare. And I tell you, the stat that was really powerful was 10 years later, [Somali immigrant headed households have] been here 10 years, it's 78% still on welfare. This is a scam.
