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.

every civilized country in the world restricts immigration.
Uh, Trump isn’t Left Handed.
Clinton and Obama were though.
Just sayin’.
need corroboration.
Sorry, chica with the middle-fingered salutes. Those days are over.
A Welfare State with open Borders cannot survive for long.
Except those in European Union.................
Smiling so wide my face hurts.

Trump Draft Executive Order on Welfare Has US Citizens Elated.
(why should libs live in our heads)
Anyone trying to immigrate to Australia, New Zealand and apparently Canada without a source of income or a pot of money, and see how far they get.
Does he sign his name from right to left as in the photo?
Lapel pin, yes they flipped the photo to make the graphic.
there is no moral imperative to allow illegal babes to feed at the public trough. that includes anchor babes
A Welfare State with open Borders cannot survive for long.
I used to volunteer at a hospital for indigents in San Francisco:
A TON of Chinese immigrants bring in their parents and the FIRST thing they do is put them on EVERYTHING —super expensive medical care...
I remember one pair whose mother spoke ZERO words of English, she was ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD and admitted, for ZERO costs to her family.
It’s totally ridiculous.
They have quick “how to” guides in Chinese for The Welfare Express.
Don’t even get me started on the Mexicans...
The audacity of folks thinking they can come to our nation and act like THEY own it, is almost unfathomable.
Nope, she’s likely to be a person flipping us off from Mexico in the near future.
Trump isn’t kidding around. The free ride is over.
As for U.S. Citizens on Welfare, that’s going to end too.
Trump has addressed it. He said that he was expecting them to find jobs and move off Welfare.
The guy has it just right.
The days of half the nation being beholdin to the U.S. Government are coming to and end.
Welfare amounts to $500,000,000,000.00 dollars a year.
If Trump could cut it by 75%, that would be a huge savings. I think it could be done. Only those who cannot work should be allowed to get Welfare. Even then, family members should be called on to chip in and pay some to support their family members. If mom can’t work, then the family should help in some way.
The government has no obligation to pick up the full tab. Technically, it has no obligation to pay anything at all.
Calling Judge Robart....
These distorting LIB morons know that President Trump is focusing on illegal alien invader felons. Arrest them all, seize their assets and deport them. If they return...beat them, shoot them or otherwise let them know they aren’t going to be allowed to break laws.
