"four"?, well that makes it true I suppose.
Citizenship should come at a VERY HIGH PRICE
Speak, read and write the language
Pass intense history exam . . . esp re wars Americans fought and died for
Pass intense civics exam . . . including an understanding of the illegal roles of “activist” judges and voter fraud
The feel good story of the day! Winning!
Good. American citizenship should be for those who contribute to America, both the country as a whole and working Americans in particular. We don’t need more parasites. Deport all illegals. Deport all legal immigrants and asylum seekers who use welfare - including Obamacare. No exceptions.
Keep it up and you’re re-elected.
Good. If you want to immigrate to other countries, it is very standard to have to be able to prove that you would not be a financial burden, and can provide for yourself. Abusing a welfare program would be prime evidence that you cannot.
“four sources with knowledge” = fabricated “news” with fabricated “sources” if/until proved true ... not worthy of comment other than to note NBC has jumped on the leftist fake stream enemedia bandwagon of increasing the number of fake sources to simulate greater credibility ...
Yes! Do it!
So Trump is attempting to ensure that when you come to America, that you do not become a permanent drain on the welfare state... The audacity of it is amazing... In Canada Trudeau invited everybody and guess what... They’re coming in droves and surprise, surprise... Taxpayers are getting fed up with it... Trudeau and his government claim that the polls are wrong. Too funny.
Excellent - we want immigrants who add value to the US, net, not drainers.
Nearly every other country on Earth has the same or similar rule.
The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that 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
...
That makes sense.
The title, however, is Fake News.
Actually this is already law. Anyone who has sponsored an immigrant can recall the affidavit of Support form which states that the immigrant must have sufficient resources to avoid the us of any means tested public benefits.
That should’ve been the law of the land regardless.
Liberals who need 3rd world voters and that mentality will fume.

You know what seriously limits citizenship...abortion.
Hmmmmmm. I have personal knowledge that it is already being done to locate overstays and deport them.
I am “torn” on this considering that I am a legal immigrant to Switzerland. I am required to pay the same taxes as any other person - to include high health insurance. If, after many years of paying such taxes, I were to loose my job, take unemployment until I got a new one and then continued to pay taxes - I see no reason to deny citizenship on that basis alone.
The inclusion of Obamacare is also “troubling” as many were more or less forced into it - holding that against them would seem unfair.
OTOH, if someone were to currently be on benefits - or as the Swiss put it “for a longer period and in considerable amounts” - these would be grounds to deny citizenship or even revoke residency. That is fair as it allows for the unforeseen.
