A copy of a draft order reported by The Washington Post earlier this month and being circulated among cabinet members seeks to address what the order describes as a massive burden on the American taxpayer.
The order calls for immigrants “likely to need certain types of public aid” to be identified prior to entry, and for immigrants already using those services to be deported.
The draft order also requires strict financial responsibility for relatives who promised to support immigrants who are instead now relying on social aid.
The potential savings estimated by the order are as high as “$100 billion,” although little data exists to support that figure.
Welfare is a way of life for too many immigrants, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. All immigrants, legal and illegal, are more likely than native-born people to use some form of welfare. Those who have U.S.-born children make far greater use of the system.
We should be welcoming immigrants with open arms, not an open wallet. Liberals are losing their minds over the idea that we might inject some economic realism into our immigration policies.
“He [Trump] would literally be taking food out of the mouths of babes,” Kevin Appleby of the Center for Migration Studies told The Washington Post.
Perhaps instead of reaching out to immigrants the moment they set foot on our soil to connect them with social service programs, we need to be connecting them with jobs the minute they arrive.

Some public images are mirrored for appropriate fit. This is probably one of them.
Saturate the nation with grey matter and require voter id.
Don’t think that is his signature either, even if the photo was reversed it does not look like his.
Actually, it’s every sane country too.
Not that I’m accusing the American left of sanity. No far be it from me to slander them by saying they’re sane.
Why do illegals who broke our immigration laws and are currently, this moment, here illegally, Why are they eligible for any welfare, food stamps, SS, disability, free medical, low income housing. Why? They're not American Citizens. Am I missing something here? ?
If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above?
A shame we can’t force all those liberals who are furious with this supposed potential EO to pay for all those illegals and immigrants who are on the dole. Why should hard working Americans be forced to pay for people who come here to live off our welfare system. Let them live off the welfare system in their own countries.
“Trump Draft Executive Order on Welfare Has Liberals FURIOUS”
GOOD! Anything that makes them FURIOUS is WONDERFUL!
They use fake identities and SSN’s.
“You can have open borders or a welfare state, you cannot have open borders AND a welfare state.”-—Milton Friedman
“If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above?”
I assume that that question is rhetorical. Of course, unless you are filthy rich you cannot even get a job in Mexico. That is the law. Therefore, you would be deported forthwith.
It’s a Japanese thing.
Even that socialist bleeding heart Emma Lazarus wrote:
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
There’s nothing in that poem about Lady Liberty needing every deadhead in the western hemisphere and middle east yearning to *live* free.
We need immigrants able to work and contribute, not resident leeches of uncertain status and loyalties waving Mexican or black flags, mooning over the old country and a religion that ran them off and won’t take them back.
Go Trump, go go go! MAGA
Some of them (not from Mexico) claim to be refugees which makes them eligible for a whole bunch of “freebies” immediately. It’s a crock.
Trump is right handed.
“If I went to Mexico, would I immediately be eligible for all of the above? “
If you illegally emigrated to Mexico and asked for “all of the above”, you’d probably get basic food, water, shelter, and clothing in the form of a jail sentence (2 years I think).
In days of yore, immigrants had to show a skill and already have a job waiting for them. Today, they’re met with a welcome basket filled with a lifetime of government freebies.
Mexican immigration laws ensure that immigrants and foreign visitors are...
In the country legally;
Have the means to sustain themselves economically;
Are not destined to be burdens on society;
Are of economic and social benefit to society;
Are if good character and have no criminal records;
Are contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that...
Immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
Foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
Foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;
Foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
Foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
Those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
We should also look at the recent Swiss proposal: the third generation in residence can apply (emphasis: apply) for naturalized citizenship, while the first two generations remain non-voting resident aliens, subject to deportation (for, say, felony convictions with sentences exceeding 10 years - the ‘bad hombres’).
“Polls suggest the “simplified naturalization of third-generation immigrants” will pass. It would make for less paperwork, fewer delays and lower fees for anyone under 25 whose parents and grandparents have lived in Switzerland for years but who did not go through the time-consuming, onerous naturalization process.
Mercado said her family moved around a lot, making an application for highly-coveted Swiss citizenship through the usual channels — generally 12 years of residency is the minimum requirement — a daunting process for her.
Candidates for citizenship are required to master at least one of Switzerland’s four national languages — German, French, Italian or Romansh — respect its legal order, and honor “fundamental values” of the Constitution, such as equal rights for women and men and freedom of conscience.”
That's what I thought. President Trump, shut this all down!! We fully support you in this endeavor!!
