President Trump’s administration is looking to soon implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

Is there any chance we can get a breakdown on illegal vs. legal? Kinda makes a difference.

The 'government' of the State of California is in open rebellion.

Not to worry. Most of the sheep can’t think past that idea to realize that the ones who are foolish enough to work are the ones who are paying. The sheep will keep voting for redistributionists and they will keep getting poorer.

[SaveFerris]

Keep voting Democrat, California Democrats!!!

Your ideas, liberal agendas and political acumen are nothing short of brilliant!!!

[PGR88]

Another progressive social-engineering and political project funded by massive government debt.

Captain obvious for the myopic liberals who read the Freep.

When one disregards an infected injury on their body, one can surmise the infection may well eventually takes its tole and kill the person. Analogously speaking, California has the same problem. The illegal immigrants being allowed into that state via the democrats who control the state house are the infection on the working middle class. The demise of the state is clearly being perpetuated by the democrats and their cronies all in the sake of growing their power and wealth via vote fraud and outright corruption to further scam the hard working tax payers. Lessons don't come cheap!

This also points up the need to rethink the idea of universal suffrage in a Welfare State, and clear conflicts of interest:

In other words, U.S. taxpayers are providing room and board, healthcare and tuition as well as spending money and all types of other free sh*t to foreigners so they can vote for the Marxist, commie and Nazi ‘RATS. I don’t think we’re in America anymore, Toto.

California is becoming a real shi! hole and it is getting worst. Most of the State is OK but the few cities are real crap loaded with communists Democrats and illegals and they run the State..

This is good news to Californians. 95 percent of them vote Democrat!

[DoughtyOne]

Wow, who would have guessed this.

Another senseless study, payed for to prove what everyone has already known for decades.

This is just the ultimate outrage. Years ago I was for totally open borders (until 9/11), but I would always say that while I felt I had a right to go and live in Sri Lhanka, and drive a cab, I wasn’t entitled to go there and live on welfare.

And neither are these people!
