Back when I was a young man, welfare was for the disabled. Then they said addiction was a disease and the drunks and bums got a free ride down to hell and now for the foreigners who wont work as well.
Perhaps it should be set back to the disabled again?
And the good little Democrat snowflakes yelled: “Blasphemy!!! Heresy!!!”
And then, they melted.
Illegal aliens first. So-called dreamers included.
They need to become citizens and THEN get a job.
If they are enrolled in a citizenship class and learning English so they can get a job, might they be exempted?
DANG !!! ,,, now I understand ,, you just don’t pay the lawless invaders to live in your house at your expense . Brilliant !!!!
WINNING !!!!!!!!!!
Ok, what I don’t understand is how a two week old baby is out of work? Babies can’t work. Shouldn’t welfare be only for people who are of the age to work??
The Law is on Trump’s side:
INA 212(a)(4) Public Charge
A. For purposes of determining inadmissibility, “public charge” means an individual who is likely to become primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense.
A number of factors must be considered when making a determination that a person is likely to become a public charge.
Under Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), an individual seeking admission to the United States or seeking to adjust status to that of an individual lawfully admitted for permanent residence (green card) is inadmissible if the individual, “at the time of application for admission or adjustment of status, is likely at any time to become a public charge.” Public charge does not apply in naturalization proceedings. If an individual is inadmissible, admission to the United States or adjustment of status is not granted.”
as is:

“Public Law 414 – June 27, 1952 The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.”
i’ve posted this before- but maybe some haven’;t seen it- the fact is ‘refugees’ are treated far better than our own homeless citizens are:
States and towns all across America were given money to build homes for refugees to live in once they got here- I’m assuming they wouldn’t have to pay rent or utilities-
I have read that refugees are given ‘cash assistance via several different government programs- one being SSI and another through ‘Temporary Assistance for Needy Families’- another through ‘Refugee Cash Assistance’- after being here for 7 years they get medical assistance through medicaid, through ‘State Children’s Health Insurance Program’ or through ‘Refugee Medical Assistance’
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program feeds them for up to 9 years
America nor any other nation can support the worlds poor and of course no immigrant whether legal or illegal should be on any kind of welfare unless maybe some kind of accident or health crisis happened after they received a green card or became a citizen.
America is a poor, very poor country, otherwise we would not have an astronomical debt of $20 Trillion dollars and growing. We are beyond poor. Beyond broke.
We need to fix every single waste of money so we can reverse our debt and fix our deficit so we can repay our debt to get out from under the crippling interest rates from the debt.
I’m so thankful we have a fair but compassionate President who understands we simply cannot support the world’s poor but can help where we can. Spending more money than we have has to stop. It just has to.
Highly likely true.
Trump’s team is looking at this and will likely implement the plan at some time.
Trump is peeling a very large multilayered Federal onion. When they believe the timing is right, they’ll cut off the aliens who are here being a financial charge. The question is is when. Likely after several actions have already successfully implented.
Trump actually needs to do this in order to broadcast the message that there are “no freebies for illegals.”
I don’t know about today’s laws, but back in my time people coming in on visas had to have a non-refundable return ticket, and a sponsor guaranteeing work and that they would not be a burden on the US government.
Can you imagine any other president pushing back like this?
Establishment Republican:
1. Makes a bold move (rare, but it does occasionally happen)
2. The left goes berserk and calls him every name in the book.
3. The momentarily “bold Republican” immediately backs down and says sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...
Trump:
1. Makes a bold move (at least once a day)
2. The left goes berserk and calls him every name in the book.
3. Trump enhances the move and makes it even bolder.
What a freaking difference!
It would be worth it to see Archbishop Gomez have a hemorrhage.
Bureaucrats do what they want. They don’t follow the law. They’ll give welfare to whom they want because they know they run the country.
