This has been law for 20 years. Who isn't informing our President of such simple things?

My father is a doctor who came here from India being denied 200 residency applications. He worked his arse off and didn't take a single entitlement dollar. He is now a successful doctor.

My beliefs about this mirrors my father's. Naturalized immigrants should never get a single federal benefit. There shouldn't be a single incentive for people to come here in the hope of eventually getting benefits.

BamaSJW pities you and your father because you don't know what's good for you.

You're never going to get sympathy on welfare. Immigrants shouldn't be eligible for welfare. Produce or go home.

They're probably busy informing him that it isn't being enforced.

You CAN receive benifits before the 5 year ban if you are a honorably discharged veteran. Maybe he wants to change that.

Federally, it is being enforced. But Congress lets the states decide eligibility criteria on a lot of things, since they're responsible for the money. Federalizing that would be like eliminating the filibuster: a great idea assuming no Democratic Congress ever takes power ever again.

The limit on welfare for immigrants should be exactly $0.

Well Trump disagrees with you and thinks immigrants should be eligible after 5 years.

Trump is uninformed AND weaker on this part of immigration laws than many on this board.

Illegal immigrants get welfare and EBT Food Stamps big time in the US. Trump just doesn't know. I see it everyday in my store. It's abused. I have many Mexicans with EBT cards, many South Americans, many Muslims with the Burkas and head scarves, etc. They do not speak English, they dress foreign, and get our food stamps. They ask us where something is, but it's in broken English, can't understand hardly. One Muslim woman with 5 kids comes in with $900 in food stamps/EBT. She goes out to our parking lot and divides it up into 3 groups to 3 Muslim men in an Escalade then leave. Are they brothers or pimps? It's so abused and corrupt, it's sickening.

That's not the point. The point is that it's already the law. It doesn't look so good that Trump didn't know that.

If these immigrants have been in the US for five years then that's the law. And Trump agrees with it.

There goes that flawed logic again.
