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." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

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. Have a drink, go buy a new toy, enjoy your family. Relish the good days.

Yep, all of this is the good part which I greatly appreciate. Thank you president Trump.

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. It's almost as if he has something to hide. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

That is exactly what I thought he meant when he first said Comey better hope there aren't tapes. Not that Trump recorded it, but that with all the collecting/leaking/unmasking like what happened to Flynn, Comey better hope the same thing doesn't happen to him. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

I believe in the principle of Due Process |
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. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

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. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
