God, yes! They come here and qualify for WIC, SSI, subsidized housing, ER treatments, driver’s licenses without any classes, and it goes on and on.
The World hates us but yet want to come here either legally or illegally to obtain benefits that American taxpayers pay for.
Great idea! Why didn’t Obama think of that?
Not legal immigrants. Illegal aliens.
About time. Talk about election tampering thru welfare payments...........
This is not new...see Post 7
When I was younger, the IRS collected taxes. The liberals have morphed it into the country’s largest welfare agency.
>>> While it would make little difference to those living illegally in the shadows, it could affect immigrants protected by the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — whose termination has been blocked by federal courts — if they attempt to file for full legal residency. <<<
Immigrants protected by DACA? Deferred action about illegal children does not grant them the legal status, besides the questionable Emperor Obama’s edict.
WaPo’s euphemism about the illegals is nauseating.
So Nicky thinks this a bad thing? Americans want foreigners to stop stealing from the U.S. Treasury. If they want “tax credits and other benefits”, they should go home and apply for them.
How about immediate deportation?
WaPo seems unhappy. Perhaps they do not realize:
It’s not a bug.
It’s a feature.
Typical of the Leftist media playing fast and loose with the truth. It’s illegal aliens who are gaming the system.
Where’s the downside, Compost?
Seems to me like this was always the law, we just did not have a President who was on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
OK, just hear me out on this:
The argument is that Trump wants fewer foreigners in this country. He also is bringing manufacturing and, with it, low skilled support jobs. When you apply that perspective to the mantra that illegals do the jobs Americans don’t want to, and legal visa holders do the work that not enough Americans can be found to do, I propose you end up with this Trump “long game”:
Virtually end welfare for able bodies people. As there will be more need for “unskilled” workers and no excuse for not having a job.
A sworn affidavit by Mexico's Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico's official govt policy
is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system.
The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad." US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.
==========================================
Ergo, illegals have two governments looking after their interests.....our govt subsidizing them,
and the Mexican govt making sure they collect.
Its time the US govt looks after the interests of American citizens.
“Current rules penalize immigrants who receive cash welfare payments, considering them a “public charge.” But the proposed changes from the Department of Homeland Security would widen the government’s definition of benefits to include the widely used Earned Income Tax Credit as well as health insurance subsidies and other “non-cash public benefits.””
Uh, I don’t think they’ve been penalized in the least under Obama.
But this is great! The EIC and Obamacare subsidies are free handouts, just as much as welfare and food stamps.
This will whittle down the DACA ‘kids’ that will be eligible for citizenship. They’ll have to chose between their free handout and citizenship - and most don’t even want to be Americans. They just want free stuff.
