It’s important to define what the purpose of our public assistance programs are supposed to serve. For example, if a worker suffers a disabling injury after years of productive work, it would be reasonable for such a person to be able to draw benefits from the disability insurance into which he or she paid by mandatory payroll check deductions.
The same goes for those who lose their jobs due to no fault of their own. In fact, it would be a gross injustice to mandate by law that employers and employees pay into various funds only to deny benefits to workers who truly qualify.
That these benefit programs have gotten out of hand is beyond doubt. But the idea that those who pay into insurance plans should be able to draw benefits if truly deserving is sound.
On the other hand, awarding government benefits to immigrants, especially those who just arrived in the country is an abuse of our public assistance systems. More than that, it encourages those in other countries who are struggling to come to America just to get on the welfare rolls. In a sense, this amounts to stealing benefits from deserving Americans.
Mr. Trump has just announced that he wants to put an end to this abusive practice, which should, in itself, take away some of the desire from those who would quickly become welfare leeches from entering our country.

To become a Citizen you must ..understand,speak English,read & write in English! The person applying for any federal assistance must be a citizen OR legal resident!! An illegal may NOT apply for another person even if that person is a citizen or legal resident….to do so is a felony!!!!
Long over due
Stop it
Until you get free you are free free to leave we do not owe any of you s**t
It should be taken completely away from this time period. In the 50’s they did it right and you had to work hard to become a citizen, and not to mention! You had to respect our country and are people. In today’s game it would be considered unfair, we would be considered racist, and inhuman thanks to the Liberals and Democratic Party. I see to much immigrant people take to much advantage of our Country and are people. This must stop. And I mean stop now! Let them work hard like the rest of us, if not leave. Go Trump!
Take it away.
Good
Go Trump!!
