Days after announcing his support to a merit-based immigration system, President Donald Trump has said that migrants will not get welfare in the first five years after they arrive in the US.
"You cannot get welfare for five years when you come into our country. You can't just come in, like in past weeks, years and decades--you come in, immediately start picking up welfare," Trump said in his weekly web and radio address to the nation....

Not enough.
Should be never.
It’s sad that this is even remotely controversial. The sticking point should be that it doesn’t go nearly far enough.
What would you have got from the Hillary Clinton administration?

Gotta go back to requiring sponsors.
Sounds great! But let’s hope no judge throws this out ( say on 14th amendment grounds or?)

i think they should have no access to grants and such either. some come in suck up all sorts of govt monies not just welfare
It doesn’t say unable. It says unwilling.
