Koch Brothers: ‘Serious Mistake’ to End Welfare-Dependent Immigration to U.S.

The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers say ending welfare-dependent immigration to the United States would do “serious harm” to the nation and be a “serious mistake.”

President Trump’s administration is looking to implement a policy that protects American taxpayers’ dollars from funding the mass importation of welfare-dependent foreign nationals by enforcing a “public charge” rule whereby legal immigrants would be less likely to secure a permanent residency in the U.S. if they have used any forms of welfare in the past, including using Obamacare, food stamps, and public housing.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

The billionaire Kochs — avid defenders of mass immigration and free trade — are decrying the welfare-dependent immigration ban through their network of organizations.

The Libre Initiative, just one of many Koch-funded groups, wrote a letter to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), claiming that such a policy would harm the nation’s economy and cripple businesses that rely on cheap, foreign labor:

Should happen. No mistake. Their own Country is getting foreign aid from US which is US welfare. They don't need more.

They want to rule the money and they want immigration to keep the country in debt, no thanks. You want to give them money, housing, medical coverage, free everything, then let them live with you!

There would be no tax cut. All of that and more would be spent elsewhere, regardless of what the taxpayers want.

koch brothers love cheap labor. They bought the Seaford Nylon Plant (world's first nylon plant) years ago & immediately diluted the workers wages and benefits. That was the beginning of the eventual end for this plant
