Welfare to immigrants will create another underclass. We should welcome desirable immigrants and reject undesirables.
Immigrants who take welfare are undesirable. if anything, they should pay us for letting them in.
No welfare for immigrants. Doesn't matter if they are legal, illegal, naturalized citizens or refugees.
No welfare for immigrants!
No welfare for ANYONE!!
Native born or not.
Cue Fats Domino: “Ain’t that a shame, my tears fell like rain . . .”
I was REQUIRED to sign away my assets and income to GUARANTEE the Federal Government my wife would not become a Public Charge when she got her green card, the LEGAL WAY!
Gee, why don’t we get us some more?
The mother';s husband should have a job that provides health-care coverage ... so this should not be a problem. They should not come into this country if they cannot support themselves. Enough of this welfare on top of welfare.
I’d be good with it.
Frankly, the world would be a better place if degrees in government were not just worthless but factually useless to getting a job with government because there are so few such jobs outside of the military.
No foreigner should be a burden to the US citizen taxpayers.
How can you be so wrong on borders and so right on immigrant welfare?
They just flat out lie all the time.
Aren’t those who get green cards supposed to be here to do jobs where US workers aren’t available to fill those positions? If the employers are so desperate for foreign labor, shouldn’t they have to pay them a living wage? It makes no sense that we should subsidize employers who have no intention of paying a living wage to employees.
Dems are always so “compassionate” with other people’s money. They can think that they are morally superior to us, but who is going to eventually pay the bills?! The USA is so far in debt that it will probably never repay it. Who is then going to get burned? That debt will eventually lead to stealing from somebody (default on debts or inflating currency). The Dem Leftists never think about the ultimate costs. They only care about feeling and looking good in the short-term.
“the availability of public benefits [should] not constitute an incentive for immigration to the United States.”
Last line.
AMEN!!!!!!!
Exactly. If those employers were forced to offer health care benefits as part of the job, they wouldn’t need so many “workers” then, would they? This is like the HB-1 workers Visa scam-companies don’t want to pay decent wages to Americans, so they import foreigners.
Your response. Aren’t those who get green cards supposed to be here to do jobs where US workers aren’t available to fill those positions? If the employers are so desperate for foreign labor, shouldn’t they have to pay them a living wage? It makes no sense that we should subsidize employers who have no intention of paying a living wage to employees.
grania, that boat left a long long time ago. I moved to Texas 15 years ago and every single construction job and infrastructure job are Hispanics.
In 15 years here in my rural development has gone from 90% white to 4 out 25 houses white and I own 2, so yep 2 other families are left.
I own the property down on the corner and went down to work on it today and noticed about 20 kids get off the school bus and not one white.
Folks we here in Texas very soon will be a minority.
Oh make no mistake these aren’t gang bangers and street rats. These folks are all very law abiding and work and a lot of them.
Most are raising families and working and some have many family members living there either in 1 house or family across the street. That doesn’t bother me though because I grew up in an ethnic NE city where family was always right around the block.
Hey I was a Cruzer and now a Trumper but honestly I can’t see how this problem can be solved.
I’m not sure what any of you or me can say or do that can change anything to be honest.
I will say this, they pop out kids like crazy
Does my personal experience determine my libertarian streak? Or does my libertarian streak guide which experiences I have?
Are you choosing which laws to obey? Breaking the law is breaking the law, personal justification notwithstanding. If I only have to obey the laws I agree with, let me know. That would be good info to have.
Doesn’t matter. It’s not enforced. Neither are sponsorships. I worked for the welfare department 30 years ago and when I asked about it was told....oh we pay no attention to that. I signed them up left and right.
