As someone once said recently:

When we get rid of the welfare benefits for the illegals, watch just how suddenly the flow of illegals suddenly drops off to ZERO!

[Brian Griffin]

“welfare benefits for the illegals”

“Article 23
public relief
The Contracting States shall accord to refugees lawfully staying in their territory the same treatment with respect to public relief and assistance as is
accorded to their nationals.”

Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees

The illegals have learned to ask for asylum. It blocks their removal by deportation and might get them welfare to boot.

Giving them welfare corrupts their political minds from the very start.

We need to invoke Article 44 while we still control Congress.

“Article 44 denunciation
1. Any Contracting State may denounce this Convention at any time by a notification addressed to the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
2. Such denunciation shall take effect for the Contracting State concerned one year from the date upon which it is received by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.”
