The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers say ending welfare-dependent immigration to the United States would do “serious harm” to the nation and be a “serious mistake.”
President Trump’s administration is looking to 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.
The billionaire Kochs — avid defenders of mass immigration and free trade — are decrying the welfare-dependent immigration ban through their network of organizations.

True greed often over rides reason.
Just reinforces how gullible, stupid and moronic the leftist garbage really is.
Serious mistake for the Koch heads because welfare subsidizes their slave labor wages.
More Country Club Republicans-privatize the profits and socialize the costs. Someone needs to remind these a**holes that it’s OUR money they’re talking about.
The Republican Party is dead to me.
I think it was sarcasm.
That needs to happen at the ballot box, cause otherwise, they don’t care.
The Koch brothers are every bit as awful as the left has always said they are.
Affluence is a mental illness.
Look at Brazil, look at Mexico the euro-whites are doing great.
No it doesn't, increasing the labor pool decreases wages. That is fact. That is why the elites love all forms of immigration.
“Use THEIR money, not ours”
We have accomplished nothing but to give these people tax breaks and look what happens. They get there tax breaks and then they want to flood the us with cheap labor and it over the Democrats. I say we should stop all tax cuts and business oriented legislation until we have secure borders, until the corporate media gives us a fair reportage. It is time to get tough. If the Democrats are going to be the party of the rich than the rich should go to them for tax breaks.
I never accepted they were conservative.
They are what the media paints as conservative.
The open-borders crony capitalism of today's America (as epitomized by Koch enterprises) was built on the backs of middle class taxpayers subsidizing the imported welfare recipients they employ.
Even worse. What weak greedy suckups...to the left of course. With their sentencing project and open borders propaganda. The worst oligarchs ever!
They are certainly conservative in the sense that they want lower taxes and less regulation. This war is cultural, not political. The Kochs are not cultural conservatives.
As the great conservative economist Milton Friedman said, “It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state.”
Good point.
They get their CHEAP labor while the American citizen watch their wages driven down all so the Koch bros. line their pockets with cash!!! These BASTARDS could give a shit less about American middle class workers this country made it possible for them to become the success they are and NOW they give this country and it’s workers the middle finger!!!!
