End welfare abuse. Applicants for entry to the United States should be required to certify that they can pay for their own housing, healthcare and other needs before coming to the U.S.

Meaningless weasel words. What is "abuse" when they weren't legally allowed ANY welfare and had to commit fraud to get it? What good is a "certification" when we have similar promises from people who overstay their visas?

From the New York times commenting on a similar plan by RINO Kay Bailey Hutchison back in 2007:

It's not ideal, but if a touchback provision is manageable and reassures people that illegal immigrants are indeed going to the back of the line, then it will be defensible. "Defensible" according to The New York Times.

Perhaps if you read his whole position your questions would be answered. Perhaps they would not since you consider them “Meaningless weasel words.”
