Trump looking to limit citizenship for legal immigrants who use public welfare programs

The Trump administration is working on a proposal that would make it harder for legal immigrants to obtain citizenship or acquire green cards if they’ve used public welfare programs, including Obamacare, according to a new report.

A draft of the plan described to NBC News shows the administration could prevent immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have used Obamacare, children’s health insurance and food stamps, among other benefits, from obtaining citizenship. Using Social Security Insurance already made it harder for immigrants to get legal status.

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller is spearheading the proposal, which NBC said would not need approval from Congress.

Let's crack down on disability Fraud too by legal citizens. There are Trump supporters on it that think it's ok because they are white. Shut the welfare show down all together. We have seniors and vets to take care of and people with REAL handicaps. Laziness,obesity and stupidity sure are handicaps but it's not OUR problem. If a Down's syndrome person can bag groceries make coffee or clean bathrooms so can the rest of America. Wanna make America Great Again get off your assumed entitled ass and work like immigrants do. If we are going to crack down on hand outs lets do it across the board.

We should go back to the pre-dream era. You work until you drop dead for the good of the country. No hobbies no leisure no pensions or retirement when you can't work your hard working kids care for you. It's how we built this country and hyper capitalism has castrated every mans work ethic and devotion to our collective cause with aquisitional consumption. Flag waving and Twitters will not make us great again. Just sacrifice and hard work. Those that HAVE may not agree and why would they ? They have the most to loose in the coming recession. The rest of us will just keep working.

You may think you saw some Latinos seeming to take advantage of EBT cards, but don't be fooled. I worked at Tia's back in it's hay day and got close to the Latino employees. Many lived together, even owning their home. Usually, a couple will go out for groceries for the entire house hold, while the others are working. They will pool their cash and one female, her kids, and a chaperone, likely the husband, will make the Walmart run for food for just the next few days. You will usually see them pay with cash and drive a beat up vehicle.

Then you will see some Middle Eastern immigrants who purchase large quantities of non food or nourishing type items that are allowed on an EBT. They are usually female and with no one else or another female. They drive a better car than most. They are supported by relatives and operate a good network of scams to obtain EBT cards. Most of the cigarette trafficking offenses are from these same middle eastern immigrants, and their not quite too sophisticated scams. The cigarettes infractions are just a lot more enforceable and enacted by men.

Not 100% accurate scenarios, but this is more typical. I've seen shopping carts full of just crap, paid for with an EBT card.

Don't get me started about the ghetto trash I've seen diving up their ebt card purchase for other items with some one else who will float the cash for the other items.

The government should be a lot more clever with wasted tax payer money that really doesn't line their pockets. Right? Well, it does! The perpetrators will keep voting for them!

Let them eat cake ! Just not on my dime. Dumpsters all full of perfectly edible stuff that the entitled throw away. Let's clean up America and put the poor to work with their mouths. Saves on landfills and trash collection. Serve it to school kids with mothers to lazy to pack a lunch and cry poor. Serve it to inmates. Hell serve it in the Congressional Cafeteria. Trump himself would eat shit with a diet coke and then some ice cream.
