Trump’s 5-Year Ban on Welfare for Immigrants Gets Thumbs-Up From 62 Percent

35

President Donald Trump’s proposal to bolster an existing law — an existing law that’s been watered down and ignored in recent years and by past administrations, Democratic and Republican — and bar those who come to this country from taking welfare benefits for at least five years, is finding great favor with the American public.

President Donald Trump is making clear to those who would come to America: No welfare for at least five years.

Fully 62 percent of participants in a new Rasmussen poll said they support the idea.

The middle-class in particular are supportive.

From Breitbart:

“Middle-class Americans making $30,000 to $50,000 a year are the most likely to support the ban on welfare for immigrants, with 72 percent in favor. Those who describe themselves as “moderates” are also on-board at a rate of 61 percent.

“Even more is the prospects of making sure no illegal aliens receive taxpayer-funded public welfare benefits.

“A whopping 76 percent said those seeking welfare should be made to certify that they are in the U.S. legally. Only 17 percent oppose the plan.

“Middle-class Americans making $30,000 to $50,000 a year are the most supportive, with 80 percent favoring the plan. It’s also incredibly popular with Americans who dropped out of college or high school. A total of 96 percent of high school dropouts support banning illegal immigrants from welfare, while 80 percent of college dropouts agree.

“The poll shows that on immigration, Trump’s restrictive proposals have the backing of the majority of Americans.

“In a recent Missouri poll, more than 60 percent of likely midterm voters said they wanted to see a reduction in legal immigration to the U.S., opposing the yearly 1.5 million legal immigrant-level that is currently in place, Breitbart Texas reported.

“Trump’s other proposal to implement a merit-based legal immigration system is backed by almost 45 percent of the American electorate, Breitbart Texas reported.”

The survey from Rasmussen was conducted online and by telephone. Twenty-six percent said they opposed the ban, but another 12 percent said they were undecided.

Great news, finally people are realizing that Christmas is not every day, that America is not the worlds Santa Klaus. America was built on honest work, integrity and genuine values. The exceptionally stupid “ism’s” that permeate the social landscape are false, fraudulent, expensive and unsustainable.

It was also built on everyone here becoming ‘Americans”, not some POS hyphenated pseudo american, claiming all the rights, benefits and privileges Americans have yet remaining to speak some moo-goo language, dressing like a clown and creating their own segregation. That would not be America, that would be (like now) a zoo.

They didn’t create the segregation – the dems. How better to divide & conquer than to separate people by saying one group is African American, another is Latino American, etc. & this group is stealing jobs from that group, or can’t tolerate that group – it is all horsesh*t. We have politically corrected our language to the point of absurdity. We are AMERICAN first, then whatever ethnicity a person happens to have inherited.

Agree. But why ban only for 5 years ? Why not ban welfare benefits for 15 years , provided they are employed full-time for at least 10 years to ensure they pay into the system before being eligible for welfare ?

And deport all Legal/illegals who have criminal record or links to terrorist organisations , support terror idealogy (all muslims who follow Koran) and those who do not pledge allegiance to US constitution and denounce Anti-American Islamic terrorists (Most muslims will denounce “terrorists” but not “islamic terrorism”).

Left/liberal Loons want to bring in more of these savages and then act surprised at the increase in jihadi attacks, rapes, assaults.

Don’t be surprised when the Left/Liberals start honoring ISIS, hamas jihadis just the way Islamonazis in America are demanding Americans do http://bit.ly/2qvcHov

MSM will not talk about it ……nor will they be deported for insulting US military & supporting jihadis.

I agree with you Suresh. Why only 5 years?

See my comments above about disability. Many of these people come here and immediately apply for SS Disability under Title XVI, which gives disability checks to people who have not contributed. It is basically welfare because most of the people who apply are eligible for disability with the slightest impairment that prevents them from performing unskilled work, which is all they can do. Educated, English speaking Americans will require higher levels of physical impairment to be found disabled.

Example: A 35 year old fruit picker with a 3rd grade education will be disabled if he/she cannot do that job from a bad knee that prevents walking of uneven terrain or climbing ladders. That person lacks sufficient skills to do anything less strenuous and demanding and because of the language barrier will be seen as not retrainable. But an English speaking high school drop out gas station attendant with the same knee problem will be told that s/he can be retrained for other forms of work.

Novel concept, apparently lost here: WORK FOR A LIVING.

If you don’t intend to work your tail off, don’t come here.

Lazy bums / takers / entitlement seekers / America haters / freeloaders: YOU CAN’T COME HERE.

Used to be immigrants had to apply, had to PROVE they had a sponsor, a place to live, a job & they would NOT be a drain on society – BEFORE they could set foot on American soil. Those poor souls are screaming foul too!

Yes, they did NOT come here to get FREE STUFF and expect handouts for years! They came here specifically for the OPPORTUNITY to work, for FREEDOM to work and be rewarded for their efforts. And they had to prove all of those things.

The is no right to live in America! It is a privilege.

Immigrants see Western Civilization as a combination of ATM machine and WallMart. Most hate everything about the West except the benefits office.

This is exceptionally good news for organized religion, as it will no longer have to dirty its hands with filthy tax money, the “refugees for profit business” will finally go the way of indulgence sales. Now, all the churches that were so passionate about welcoming refugees, can be true good samaritans, and pay their bills. The opportunities to exhibit Christian charity from true Christians abounds.

I give the plan a thumbs WAY down. There should be no more immigrants. Furthermore, all non-citizens as of today should be deported. And, the offices that give citizenship should be closed. I’m tired of the low-lifes running around our towns and cities – many of them immigrants – around here it looks more like India than the USA.

Great news! Also:
1. Drastic cut in legal immigration, over a million a year is too many.
2. Drastic cut to the refugee program. Most refugees are not refugees but bums.
3.Stop govt money going to churches and charities to support refugees, this is billions and billions of dollars a year.
4. Ban refugees and illegals from getting Medicaid.
5. Ban chain immigration, ban their old relatives coming over and drawing disability payments /Medicaid.
6. Limit use of food stamps to certain foods, no use in high price convenience stores. No candy, no steak, etc.
7.If you can afford a car payment on an expensive car, no food stamps.
8. Muslim must sign agreement to support the constitution and to assimilate, but really no muslins is better for our Anglo Saxon Christian Society.
9.No more cash given out with EBT cards, to anyone.
10. Strictly enforce all rules.

What about the English language? 3 months in a school to learn intensive language and learning the constitution and US history. After proficiency they could be asked if they still want a 2 year light green card with a 10 year citizenship plan. No burkas no headscarves and no beards

Look at what is happening in Europe with the “rapefugees” financing their acts of terror with money acquired through public assistance payments and tell me there is no such thing as “welfare jihad”. One of the most often repeated famous last words is, “It can’t happen here”.

Making welfare unavailable is not sufficient!
You need to make SS Disability unavailable because that is how they qualify for welfare under the name Title XVI Benefits. Title XVI is essentially a check for people who have never worked or contributed to SS.

Middle class? In many parts of California, you would have a hard time just paying the rent, on $30,000 a year.

I think the President needs to take it a step further and put limits on how many years American citizens are on welfare! Why are there generations of families on welfare?! It’s crazy. The system needs to change. Let’s make it so an American family can only receive welfare for 3-4 years max.
