Re: POTUS Trump (D) calls for barring immigrants from welfar
Why put a number of years on it at all? Simply make citizenship a prerequisite. If you have no interest in becoming a citizen, we have no interest in subsidizing your food or shelter.FireFuente wrote:Add a zero to that number and you've got a deal.USN_Hokie wrote:...for 5 years.

I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican... if you refuse to consider alternatives to the two parties, you support the Status Quo and you are a major part of the problem.

Pretty sure Trump was talking about legal immigration.Hokie CPA wrote:Why put a number of years on it at all? Simply make citizenship a prerequisite.

So even if you come here legally and gain citizenship, you still can't get any public $$ for 5 years.

Re: POTUS Trump (D) calls for barring immigrants from welfar
Immigrants don't become a citizen before they've been here 5 years. My father arrived from Hungary in 1957 and was naturalized in 1963-ish, I think? It may have been 62... either way, it took about 5 years or so. All I'm saying is, make citizenship a prerequisite. You have all these people who cross the border illegally -- they have no intention on ever applying for citizenship. As long as they have no interest in learning about our history and our Constitution, and they have no interest in assimilating into the American way of life, they should not gain any of the benefits our taxpayers have decided to afford to our citizens.FireFuente wrote:Pretty sure Trump was talking about legal immigration.Hokie CPA wrote:Why put a number of years on it at all?

Trump doesn't clarify what exactly he'll be changing.

Trump doesn't clarify what exactly he'll be changing.
"Trump's proposal would build on the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which allows federal authorities to deport immigrants who become public dependents within five years of their arrival. Many of that law’s provisions were rolled back during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, but Trump's proposal would make more categories of federal benefits off-limits to immigrants."
Not sure what that means in reality.

What legislation was Trump referring to passing 'very shortly'? If he's only referring to Obama's order, then he can undo it with his own.USN_Hokie wrote:Oh dear, you mean the law Obama gutted?VisorBoy wrote:The original was signed into law 20 years ago by a Democrat.USN_Hokie wrote:...for 5 years.

Re: POTUS Trump (D) calls for barring immigrants from welfar
I'm sorry that his speech was not a recitation of the bill. The next President could just re-do Obama's illegal (IMO) order. This is Trump's chance to remove that option and thwart future statists from subverting their constitutional powers. We can be patient and wait for the details.VisorBoy wrote:What legislation was Trump referring to passing 'very shortly'?
