President Trump said Monday that he's opposed to allowing immigrants into the U.S. who are dependent on welfare, citing the country's already extensive financial commitments.
"I dont want to have anyone coming in thats on welfare, Trump told Breitbart News in an Oval Office interview.

THAT used to be part of our immigration LAW!
Immigrants had to prove that they would NOT be a burden on society.
Works for me. We will be hitting 350 million soon. Do we really want that?
I immigrated to Canada to run a subsidiary of an American company. The company had to prove they had looked in Canada for someone to do the job I was sent to do.
My family and I went to the Niagara customs station and were turned down by a snarky immigration officer. So I drove to Fort Erie, IIRC, and went through without a hitch. Sheesh.
Immigration that happened in the past in no way justifies the invasion we have today.
It is all completely different, totally different set of circumstances, and why destroy the country and culture just because we have had immigration in the past.
I did the exact same thing in the opposite direction thru Buffalo, total non issue.
Yes, it is a great idea.
I think Canada gives them 2 years of money and thats it <<
your source?????
This is common sense.
Democrats are outright buying votes with stolen money from selling our nation.
It is for Mexico. Tax remittances to Mexico by 50% and they'll build the wall for us.
50%
are you trying to create a black market?
migrants are supposed to be self-sufficient or have a sponsor that will guarantee sufficiency, for five years, last time I looked. Has that changed?
“She had to have a sponsor...”
Same here, my parents came over from Italy in the very early 1900’s. They had a sponsor and skills, they also went to work a short time later.
But But what about the future Democrat votes/
We have 334 million people here. 90 million unemployed. We don’t need even one more immigrant.
Not one more.
