...Rep. Glenn Grothman, a Wisconsin Republican, introduced this month the Smarter Plan for Immigrant Welfare bill to expand guidelines for eligibility for any kind of welfare or government assistance. Since 1996, when the last major welfare legislation was passed, only immigrants who have green cards, or legal permanent residents, were allowed to request assistance. The Trump administration had proposed a plan to update existing rules so that the government would have the ability to block immigrants who apply for green cards on the basis that they may rely on federal assistance and would be a "public charge" to the government. That effort is now being reviewed and expected to be undone by the White House.

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.
The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

This legislation would meet the approval of probably 75% of the electorate, but it will never be law. Democracy.
And this is a bad thing?
Letting non-citizens have gibs is a very bad thing. I applaud this “Loyal Trump Republican” for trying to do the right thing and the thing that the vast majority of Americans would want. I think his effort will fail, mainly for those very reasons.
Worthless article. Republicans are always introducing bills like this WHEN THEY ARE NOT IN POWER, and when bills have no chance of passing.
Agreed. This measure has as much chance of passing as an ice cube has to stay frozen outdoors in Houston in August.
Glenn is one of the Good Guys. He’s been talking about this for years.
Doubt it’s going to happen - especially now with the treasonous bunch of b@stards running things. :(
Seems the people who want to support the laws are between a rock and a hard place. On one hand, actually accomplishing what the laws state by creating the reality of illegals being here, and having those same illegals being forced to break laws to survive, is counterproductive. If they are here, and it is the action of the current administration (?) to get them here with what they have already done, alone, then the protection of the citizens life and property is compromised because of the criminals’ needs for food and shelter which without tax based programs is non-existent.
One of the major differences between the US and other countries is without illegal entries, we wouldn’t look like and be forced to act as a third world country with near as many homeless, starving, and sick people on the streets. So is it the best way to go to cut off illegals from getting by if they are going to cram them into the country just as fast as they can if it isn’t enough to handle the numbers? At that point, it just gets worse.
Don’t take from citizens to pamper criminals. Stop criminals from getting in. That’s how the system was designed. But the minute progressives need votes, this is what happens. So are the progressives preserving and protecting the Constitution and the people of the US? That’s easily answered.

Loyal Trump Republican moves to cut off all noncitizens from government assistance programs
It’s all just the uniparty playing “good cop, bad cop”. They are not our friends. This is raw PR, nothing more.
Consider that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that poor laws are a state power issue.
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Also, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had likewise indicated that the Founding States had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.
”[…] the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
Justice Brandeis later reflected on Bingham’s words when he referred to the individual states as “laboratories of democracy,” each state providing the social spending services that the legal majority residents of a given state want.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
The problem is that since the unconstitutionally big, post-17th Amendment ratificaiton federal government keeps stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the states are wrongly forced to rely on federal funding based on unconstitutional taxes to help deal with those in need, and lots on other things that are constitutionally the responsibility of the states.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
It fact, citizens can bet that if a given federal domestic spending program is not reasonably related to the U.S. Post Service, one of Congress's few, constitutionally enumerated domestic powers, then such spending is unconstitutional and win the bet probably most of the time.

Cut off all noncitizens from government assistance programs
Los Angeles becomes the new Portland on a massive scale.
He's born again, no doubt. But did he fight?
You should see the Social Security and other benefits offices in H1B heavy areas.
Absolutely chock full of Indians and Communist Chinese trying to collect government benefits for their relatives.
GOP had control of White House and both houses of Congress 2017-2019. Why didn’t they pass this legislation when they had the chance?
We all know the answer.
Wrong. Back bench republicans introduce bills like this every session. It is the House Republican leadership which ensures bills like this never go anywhere.
