would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare,

Good, immigrants should not be a burden on the citizens, they should be an asset to the country as a whole.
Trump is such a meanie!
This will trigger TDS Stage IV.
Limit? Welfare and all public programs should be eliminated for any immigrant who arrived within at least 7 years.
Yeah. The title is misleading. He wants to make it harder for those that have abused their “temporary legal” status to become citizens.
They could have posted that title if Trump said he wanted to not allow people with felony convictions to become citizens.
Which is a darned good idea.
How the hell did you supossedly afford the fees to immigrate to the U.S., and then plop yourself on welfare!?
You are not a net drain on us!
Didn’t these people used to require a sponsor?
More dubious sources.
Next: Sources say Trump plans to kill kittens.
Yes!
Go, POTUS!
RE:”This will trigger TDS Stage IV”
Maybe they will ask the UN to protest Trump again
Go Trump........MAGA.
I don’t ever remember hearing a conservative leader or politician fail to pledge fealty to legal immigration. They jump to the pledge, when discussing illegal immigration, like a moth drawn to a flame, as if they are showcasing their inner purity of motives.
As Ann Coulter has demonstrated, it is LEGAL immigration that will finally sink our culture and our country.
How could people be such fools to think that this country can absorb over a million low-skilled, illiterate people from all over the world and maintain its being.
That is, absorbing over one million low-skilled and illiterate immigrants per YEAR, I should have said.
that’s one million PER YEAR, for many decades now... and another pile after that who come illegally...
That means the gainfully employed ones who have never used welfare go to the head of the line. Works for me.
Needs to be clarified. In theory, this could prevent my legally-immigrated green-card wife from fully becoming a US citizen, since we had to use Obamacare for a time while I was unemployed during the Obama Depression.
I’m all for making it excruciatingly difficult to freeload off the US, for immigrants of any stripe; we just need to be careful not to ensnare legitimate use cases.
I believe this is Fake News.
“anonymous sources” created to get the issue firing up Dems for midterms.
The policy doesn’t even make sense...it would be better to make them learn a certain competency of English.
This just give the Dems easy hanging fruit for the midterms.
Good! My grandparents came through Ellis Island. There were no ‘programs’ to suck off the American taxpayer, just work and do the best they could. It wasn’t easy, but they survived, as did their children, including my late mother.
(And the rebuttal I get most often on discussion boards is that illegals never take any welfare because they do not qualify for it. Seriously.)
