Illegal immigrants are opting out of government welfare programs out of fear of Trump Administration crackdowns coming done the pike, reported POLITICO on Monday.

Due to a proposed Trump Administration rule to deny legal status to illegals on welfare, both legal and illegal immigrants have been inundating health care providers with calls demanding they be dropped from federal assistance programs like WIC.

“Agencies in at least 18 states say they’ve seen drops of up to 20 percent in enrollment, and they attribute the change largely to fears about the immigration policy,” says the report.

Why should illegal aliens be getting welfare in the first place? They shouldn’t. Weed them out and send them back home. Same goes for illegal aliens registered to vote. And ban them from reentry for 10 to 20 years.

If they are "Opting Out"...

It means they didn't need it in the first place, and were just supplementing their incomes by robbing taxpayers at the point of the IRS's guns.

You would think all the lefties taking the “crazy checks” would guard their govt windfall like crazy against other people siphoning off... except they expect the money supply to be infinite.

I think it was Milton Friedman who said
you can have open borders or a welfare
state, but not both.

It’d be a shame it someone bought a black van and put ICE in big friendly yellow letters on the side and parked next to a welfare office.

( under ICE write: Industrial Component Electronics , in teeny tiny barely visible grey letters)

WAIT! I have been told, many times, that illegals cannot get any welfare program assistance!

So, how can there be a 20% drop in welfare applications attributed to illegal aliens?!?

Probably 90% Democrat voters, too.

Oh, yeah, the Democrats say illegal vote fraud doesn’t happen.

Yes, I wonder why illegals wouldn’t light out for Canada? For that matter why don’t the Trump haters do the same? Canada ought to seem like Valhalla to them. No fooling.

.....”I have been told”......

When I became a man I put away childish things...that includes thinking. We all look for the facts when we’ve matured and stop believing what we’re told to believe.
