Trump’s callous attack on immigrants who need public aid
Los Angeles Times ^ | Aug. 13, 2019 | The Times Editorial Board

The Trump administration is moving — again — to make it more difficult for even legal immigrants to get a foothold in the United States.

Beginning in October, a new rule will make immigrants who use certain government safety-net programs ineligible for permanent residency, blocking their path to naturalized citizenship.

Here on the MA state tax form there is a check box for if the common MA leftist wants to pay more in income tax to fund their noble causes.
Something like 1% ever check it..

It is the law. You can’t be a public charge the first 5 years of residency. Trump is enforcing the law.

As a practical matter, it is a lot less costly to be a public ward in El Salvador or Somalia. We have a more than ample supply of native born slackards. We need not be importing any.

This from the paper based out of the one if the cities with the highest homeless population and people in need of public services that the city and state can’t or won’t afford but they’ll move hell and high water for some illegal immigrants while ignoring their actual citizens.

Immigrants should NOT be receiving free food, housing, and education at the expense of tax-paying U.S. citizens.

If they need public aid, then the shttholes from whence they came are “not sending us their best.”

“Immigrants” who need “public money” have no business coming here.

Oh the horror!

Why not just extend US welfare to EVERYONE? EVERYONE IN THE WORLD! It's immoral to discriminate on the basis of physical presence in the USA.

As for the hard working American man and woman whose labor pays for all this welfare: TO HELL WITH YOU!

As opposed to being callous to taxpayers who have to support these people to subsidize cheap labor, populate Democrat districts, and cast fraudulent Democrat votes.

The federal government purposely set up colonies of Others that will never become us and reproduce at a rate far higher than us.

Gee, I wonder why that was done. I can’t imagine why the federal government, who hates Americans, who do such a thing.

Hmmm.... I wonder what their goal could be?

These are not immigrants. They are illegal criminal invaders. And why should we import indigent useless mouths to be a significant extra burden to ourselves, when we have our own homegrown poor? No sane country would allow hordes of illiterate uneducated low skilled people carrying diseases the country doesn’t have into their country.

My parents are LEGAL immigrants and most of my children are LEGAL immigrants.

Their sponsors had to sign affidavits swearing that LEGAL immigrants would NOT require public welfare, because the sponsors would assume that responsibility.

The “sanctuary” cities and their officials and bureaucrats are the de-facto sponsors of the ILLEGALs, so THEY can assume the responsibility of caring for them.

Nope, it is 40 Quarters, which is 10 years. I know I filled one out for my Wife.

I think we should all start sending paper copies of the I-864 to Every last sniveling weenie that complains about this. I mailed one to Meathead last week.

The NWO has been out to destroy any resistance to government for decades.

It was going quite well until Trump decided to stop it. Just imagine if the beast had won.

“For the life of me, I don’t understand why we are so concerned for people who come here illegally, but somehow politicians feel those of us who do pay taxes, should support them.”

It’s because they tend to vote democrat. Republicans don’t say anything because someone will call them racist.

“It is the law. You can’t be a public charge the first 5 years of residency.“

Yes. I had to sign an agreement to that effect before the US would grant Mrs. VanShuyten a green card. She was my financial responsibility, not the taxpayers’.
