President calls for barring immigrants from welfare for five years


Yes. It's just common sense, really.
Ridiculous that this was "rolled back during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations".
It should have been enforced all along:

President Trump announced Wednesday night that he will soon ask Congress to pass legislation banning immigrants from accessing public assistance within five years of entering the U.S.

“The time has come for new immigration rules that say ... those seeking immigration into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years," Trump told a campaign-style rally in Grand Rapids, Iowa.

Trump's proposal would build on the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which allows federal authorities to deport immigrants who become public dependents within five years of their arrival. Many of that law’s provisions were rolled back during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations, but Trump's proposal would make more categories of federal benefits off-limits to immigrants.

Currently,states typically have the authority to determine eligibility for local public assistance programs.

Foreigners with non-immigrant visas and those who don't have legal status are generally prohibited from those benefits altogether.

Trump's proposal would also prevent the admission of people who are likely to become so-called "public charges" within five years of their arrival. The concept of "public charge" has been part of U.S. immigration law for over a century. It allows the government to bar entry to individuals who are likely to seek public assistance. Trump is expected to propose toughening up the rules regarding “public charge” and ensuring that they are enforced.

The administration circulated a draft executive order to make Trump's proposed changes earlier this year. However, Trump's remarks Wednesday indicated that he wants Congress to codify his plan into law.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I really wish you guys would stop panicking and just relax a bit. WE WON. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would like fending off all the left's attacks. A lot of it he is doing quietly while they focus on Russia and fake news. Enjoy this time and appreciate how quickly we have reversed direction in a short 7 months. Gas is cheap because American's told OPEC to go blow a goat, Trump is dismantling many of Obama's policies, and the left can do nothing but throw tantrums and discredit themselves further.

The Trump over Clinton victory margin was MUCH broader than generally acknowledged. Regarding the scope of voter fraud being perpetrated on us: LINK1 and LINK2

Study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Monday, June 19, 2017

[Go to URL to view video]

A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.

As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.

The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Just Facts President James D. Agresti and his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters. Some acknowledge they are noncitizens and are thus ineligible to vote.

Just Facts’ conclusions confront both sides in the illegal voting debate: those who say it happens a lot and those who say the problem nonexistent.

In one camp, there are groundbreaking studies by professors at Old Dominion University in Virginia who attempted to compile scientifically derived illegal voting numbers using the Harvard data, called the Cooperative Congressional Election Study.


Thanks,

From the IBD, some coverage pointing out scandals that the left's fellow travelers in the MSM are totally ignoring while focusing on fake Trump "news": LINK

Real Scandals The Trump-Obsessed Media Are Ignoring

[Go to URL to view video] The Rasmussen Minute: Congress Asks About the Loretta Lynch 'Matter'
Rasmussen Reports
00:3001:12

6/20/2017

Media Bias: As news outlets dissect every new crumb in the alleged Trump-Russia-collusion scandal, they're largely ignoring other, very troubling scandals that happen to involve the previous administration.

So far, and no doubt to the disappointment of many Trump haters, the Russia scandal has been going nowhere fast. Eleven months of investigating has so far turned up no hard evidence that there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere with the November elections.

While that scandal drags on, however, several others have taken surprising turns. Not that you'd know it from the coverage these are getting from the mainstream press.

Unmasking Scandal: On Monday, Judicial Watch announced that it hit a dead end in its effort to dig out information about why White House advisor Susan Rice ordered an "unmasking" of Trump campaign officials in classified reports. In response to Judicial Watch's April 4 request for materials related to these unmasking requests — to determine whether they were politically motivated — the National Security Council said it had sent all those records to Obama's presidential library, where they can't be released for five years.

"Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Fitton fittingly left journalists off his list of those who will want to know about this, since the latest weird twist in this story garnered precious little interest among the mainstream media.

Nor did an earlier development in this case, when the House Intelligence Committee issued subpoenas for information related to unmasking requests involving Rice as well as former CIA Director John Brennan, and former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Power.

These subpoenas were, Rep. Devin Nunes said, "just further escalation in the concern we have of the unmaskings of Americans by the senior leaders of the Obama administration."

Media response: Yawn.

Loretta Lynch Scandal: Despite blanket coverage of James Comey's testimony about his firing by Trump, few noted the bombshell Comey dropped about Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who, Comey said, pressured him to downplay the significance of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's reckless handling of classified emails on her private server. Comey said Lynch told him to call it a "matter," not an investigation.

Comey said this gave him a "queasy" feeling, since Lynch was specifically asking him to parrot the words the Clinton campaign was using to describe the FBI probe. That, on top of the Lynch's private meeting with Bill Clinton, as well as the unusually lenient immunity deals the Justice Department cut with key witnesses in the Clinton email case, suggest Lynch had turned the Justice Department into an arm of the Clinton campaign.

Comey's revelation was enough for liberal California Sen. Diane Feinstein to call for an investigation into Lynch's actions. "I think we need to know more about that, and there's only one way to know about it, and that's to have the Judiciary Committee take a look at that," she said.

As we noted in this space recently, Comey's revelation raises other questions as well. "Did President Obama know this? Did he approve of it? Was it his idea? Did anyone at the White House tell Lynch to soft-pedal the investigations? Was this all conducted in concert with the Clinton campaign?"

Media interest in getting answers to any of these questions? Zero.

NSA Spying Scandal: In late May, Circa News published a truly bombshell report about how the National Security Agency had been conducting illegal searches on American citizens for years, "routinely violat(ing) American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts." In addition, the administration "failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall."

Classified documents obtained by Circa showed that "one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream internet data on Americans inside the NSA's so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011."

Circa also reported that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court blasted Obama administration officials, saying that the improper searches posed a "very serious Fourth Amendment issue" and the administration's failure to disclose the violations amounted to an "institutional lack of candor."

Media response? The three network news programs all ignored this report, and it got little attention by any of the other mainstream news outlets.

So what we have here is evidence suggesting that the Obama administration abused national security to damage the Trump administration, politicized the Justice Department to subvert an active investigation into Hillary Clinton, and routinely spied on Americans for reasons unknown. That's a lot of potentially very serious scandals for an administration that described itself as scandal-free.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Yep, all of this is the good part which I greatly appreciate. Thank you president Trump. My current angst is with the worthless Repub party that is doing little to nothing other than making President Trumps's job harder.

It that is "OUR" fight. Pres. DJT does not need to be sidtracked and tied up watching his back. "We the People..." need to cover his back, put the heat on both sides of the politicol spectrum and make sure they hear us loud and clear, that we elected DJT as President and they are not fighting him, they are insubordinate to us.

Push back, push hard.

We have work to do. We should not sit back and "wait and watch to see what DJT will do."

Remember when zippy the wonder turtle was going to come riding back to DC, to triumphantly take up the charge and lead The Resistance against the eevil Trump regime? He was going to set up office in DC and lead all the disgruntled Dems? He was going to be their hero?

Then, he went away to Hawaii for weeks (alone, leaving his family behind). I don't even know what that moron is up to now, as he's gone (FINALLY!!!!!) dark.

I did not interpret Trump's tweet as implying there were recordings, merely that Comey should worry about the possibility as he "improved his lie" as golfers put it.

Word is that Obama is heading up a group that is working in the states to overcome the Republican majorities in Congress. Reputedly, they are starting in Texas.

Sometimes I do wonder, though. President Trump has just put out the idea of putting solar panels on the border wall, hoping to make enough money to pay for it. I see a major problem with that: to face south (the direction of the Sun) the panels would have to be on the Mexican side of the wall. I think the panels would be destroyed almost immediately, either inadvertently by climbing attempts or intentionally just for spite. It's a terrible idea.
