A leaked executive order would drastically expand the number of public programs that are off-limits to legal immigrants who aren't citizens, such as green-card holders. If found using them, they could face deportation and their sponsors -- usually a family member or employer -- would have to reimburse the federal government for unauthorized use of those benefits.
Immigrants can currently be deported for using cash welfare or long-term institutionalized care. Under the draft order, they could be deported for using any federal benefit given "on the basis of income, resources or financial need." That could include food stamps, Medicaid, free or reduced school lunch, home heating assistance and college financial aid.
"This is really a major change for social welfare institutions and the social welfare system," said Michael Fix, president of the Migration Policy Institute.

ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work President Trump!
ReplyDeleteThis is EXCELLENT!
ReplyDeleteExactly what I was going to advocate.. any benefits should be limited to US citizens ONLY (with a very few exceptions).
We need an Act passed by Congress that clearly defines what US citizenship is, how it is acquired (and how it can be forfeited), the benefits available to US citizens, and the responsibilities of US citizens (like voting, military or civilian service, etc.)
Anyone immigrating to the US is already required to be able to support themselves as a condition of entry.
Time to get back to that.
Trump better plug up the leaks and find the career bureaucrats responsible. The leaks are undermining him ability to do his job.
