President Donald Trump’s draft plan to exclude welfare-dependent migrants is justified by data showing that almost two-thirds of households headed by non-citizens use at least one welfare program, says the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
“In 2014, 63 percent of households headed by a non-citizen reported that they used at least one welfare program, compared to 35 percent of native-headed households,” says the group’s December 3 report, which relies on federal data to track migrant use of welfare.
“A very large share of immigrants are unable to support their own children and turn to taxpayer-funded means-tested programs,” the report says. “In terms of the policy debate over immigration and the implications for public coffers, this is the central concern.”

This policy is absurd when we have seniors, vets, homeless and children who are citizens of the US that need this money. They also get tax credits at tax time that is in the parameters of $15,000 dollars or more that is not available to US citizens. Should not be given to non-citizens / illegals. They need to be deported. Their home Country should not be given any foreign aid starting immediately.
There should be NO public support of any type for non citizens PERIOD.
Agree
