Per draft executive orders, President Trump's administration may be looking to roll out more restrictions on immigrants planning to enter the U.S., as well as those already in the country:
The administration would be seeking to "deny admission to any alien who is likely to become a public charge" and develop standards for “determining” whether an immigrant can be deported after five years if that person receives a certain amount of public assistance, including Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and Medicaid.
The second order, titled "Executive Order on Protecting American Jobs and Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs" calls for "eliminating" the "jobs magnet" that is driving illegal immigration to the United States, according to a copy obtained by The Post. The order would rescind any work visa provisions for foreign nationals found not to be in "the national interest" or in violation of U.S. immigration laws.
The drafts are apparently just being passed around by administration officials at the moment, and the White House refused to confirm the orders' authenticity. The Washington Post also noted it's not entirely clear if Trump will actually go ahead with either of these actions.
Yet, the orders seem to fall in line with Trump's most hard-line pledges on immigration. One draft order argues "the unlawful employment of aliens has had a devastating impact on the wages and jobs of American workers," though economists generally agree that immigration is more beneficial than harmful to the economy. The orders also suggest that "households headed by aliens are much more likely than those headed by citizens to use federal means-tested public benefits," another claim The Washington Post noted is not supported by evidence.
If enacted, The Post reported the orders "would significantly restrict all types of immigration and foreign travel to the United States, expanding bars on entry to the country that Trump ordered last week."
That would be more winning...........
“...more winning...”
YUGE Winning.!
Illegal aliens first.
Fantastic idea.
Send Fake Tears a hankie.
Save us a lot of money, lol!
As I have pointed out before, when my British husband emigrated with me to the USA in the early 80’s, I had to vouch for him, that he wouldn’t be a burden to the American people. And he has been working since he arrived. Why was that system ever stopped?

That’s what the law used to be. Immigrants had to have a sponsor and were not allowed to go on the welfare “assistance” rolls.
Hey, don’t just end it with immigrants. Deport ANYONE on public assistance.
Been yelling this for years - they’ll self deport when denied any assistance - use Mexico’s laws on this.
I think this is fake news. Wasn’t enough mileage in the TEMPORARY hold on immigration.
And the media and Democrats in Congress will be shocked, shocked I tell you, at how immensely popular such an action will be with the vast majority of the American people. Shocked!
Might as well do it now cause the left can’t get anymore pissed off...
Here`s what Jesus said about illegal immigrants:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber.”
John 10:1
well, duh
“If enacted, The Post reported the orders “would significantly restrict all types of immigration and foreign travel to the United States”
Well, as far as foreign travel goes, I doubt it. As far as immigration goes, it would be nice if it reverted to what it used to be: you needed a sponsor who would take care of you to keep you off of public assistance.
I bet the bed wetting lefties will have a bird over this one. Trump must wait to get a majority on the SC though, and one for good measure, say 6-3, for this one to be solid. I don’t trust Roberts as far as I can throw him. So, hopefully the Scalia appointment and Kennedy if he retires and Ginsberg if she stops breathing.
