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.

Mexicans are Mexicans. This isn’t difficult.
We owe them nothing! Get that wall up because now it’s not the Mexicans coming across it’s Muslims from North Africa and Africa crossing. They don’t need visas from a lot of Central and South American countries.A lot of North Africans can be mistaken for Mexicans. Watch out because the Tunisians are the worst.
Yes, and rich elites are anti USA
You are right darling, that only that but chinesse getting pregnant to give birth in America, that$#%&!@*is disgusting
Deport them all.
It sounds like to me that this is already our law and just needs to be enforced.
How about no welfare.
Thank you, President Trump!
Great idea. Let’s do this.
People are running into our Country knowing they can live on Welfare. Yes the numbers have gone down but they are still demanding to live off our Welfare system. It was only meant to be a Safety Net to those who lost their jobs and needed Temporary help to get back on their feet. It was NEVER meant to be endless. Or made to be a way of life.
