Executive Order Reducing Poverty in America by Promoting Opportunity and Economic Mobility
www.whitehouse.gov/ ^ | 4/10/2018 | white house

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to promote economic mobility, strong social networks, and accountability to American taxpayers, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Purpose. The United States and its Constitution were founded on the principles of freedom and equal opportunity for all. To ensure that all Americans would be able to realize the benefits of those principles, especially during hard times, the Government established programs to help families with basic unmet needs. Unfortunately, many of the programs designed to help families have instead delayed economic independence, perpetuated poverty, and weakened family bonds. While bipartisan welfare reform enacted in 1996 was a step toward eliminating the economic stagnation and social harm that can result from long-term Government dependence, the welfare system still traps many recipients, especially children, in poverty and is in need of further reform and modernization in order to increase self-sufficiency, well-being, and economic mobility.

but it only calls for studies, does not appear to actually do anything

Read the whole thing. It cuts off all federal welfare for illegals.

Since its inception, the welfare system has grown into a large bureaucracy that might be susceptible to measuring success by how many people are enrolled in a program rather than by how many have moved from poverty into financial independence.

Any California realtors on FR reading this?

Someone told me last night that California Legislature passed a new law that includes an EXIT TAX for any business leaving California. She mentioned a ‘value ‘ of $6 million, but that isn’t very high.

Has California actually done this?

How do they expect to enforce it?
