Right. Thus, the cut-off for those here illegally, as well as means testing/time limits for ALL others....including those here LEGALLY.
It would serve a dual purpose. Those here illegally would tend to self-deport, once benefits (we should also cut off anchor baby laws) are stopped, and those here legally and/or citizens would have to find work, once their entitlements (I can’t stand that term) are discontinued.
You mean those with green cards or naturalized? Or native born American citizens? Good luck on that. We have 80 million on Medicaid and 47 million on food stamps. They constitute a powerful voting bloc along with the Dem party, which would stop any efforts to do what you propose.
