So...Trump’s now going after legal immigrants.

Proposed Trump rule change could put millions of legal immigrants at risk of deportation

Currently, immigrants who rely on, or are expected to rely on, the government for more than half of their income are considered “public charges” and can be banned from entering the country or deported, even if they’re otherwise eligible for extended residency.

Immigrants who rely completely on welfare programs or long-term Medicaid benefits are typically considered public charges, but the Trump administration wants to extend those guidelines to include immigrants who use public housing, subsidies to help pay for health insurance, food stamps, income tax credits, the Children's Health Insurance Program and non-emergency uses of Medicaid, according to a White House draft obtained by The Washington Post.

A recent study by The New England Journal of Medicine found that the changes “could have important consequences for access to medical care and the health of millions of immigrants and their families.” An estimated 1 million noncitizens would lose their insurance, the study found.

I accept your moral argument. Now I have a question for you. Would it or would it not be better for our economy to get rid of those people?

If they are going to stay here they should become citizens, IMO.

Why do they completely rely on welfare why don't they have jobs and pay for themselves? Are they just lazy and expect American taxpayers to fund them and their family?

They don’t completely rely on welfare Lucy. Read the article.

Yes immigrate to live on our dole.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

I accept your moral argument. Now I have a question for you. Would it or would it not be better for our economy to get rid of those people?

If they are not contributing to America's economy, which they are not as they are all on welfare then they are draining your welfare system funded by taxpayers money, so from an economic viewpoint removing them would SAVE you money that you could put to a better more worthy use.

 

[Coyote]

That is probably the intention but it takes a long time.

 

[Confounding]

Are they just lazy

No, they're poor and ignorant.

 

[Confounding]

If they are not contributing to America's economy, which they are not as they are all on welfare then they are draining your welfare system funded by taxpayers money, so from an economic viewpoint removing them would SAVE you money that you could put to a better more worthy use.

Agreed. From a strictly economic standpoint it's a good decision.

 

[Coyote]

No.

As it was pointed out, it has always been the case that those who completely rely on welfare are subject to possible deportation. No argument there. These are people who work but might use small amounts of assistance such as subsidies to help purchase health insurance or CHIP for examp,e.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Yes immigrate to live on our dole.

That is called an Economic Migrant, does not usually refer to them getting a job but instead sitting on their buttocks getting welfare paid to them by taxpayers who do have a job and via x amount of their taxes they fund the waste of human skin. Those deliberately on welfare deserve nothing but total contempt, they should be FORCED into ANY job no matter how humiliating or else be told no money if you starve nobody gives a crap.

 

[Coyote]

Yes immigrate to live on our dole.

Untrue.

Is it? What will the total cost of such decisions be?

Why are we giving immigrants welfare?

I think kicking these people out if a logical decision. I think it would be a positive thing overall if you don't consider the moral element.

 

[WillowTree]

Only citizens of the US should receive welfare.

Untrue.

From your OP:

Currently, immigrants who rely on, or are expected to rely on, the government for more than half of their income are considered “public charges” and can be banned from entering the country or deported, even if they’re otherwise eligible for extended residency.

If you don't pay federal income taxes you are a drag on our government expenses. I want more people that can contribute, not more that need help. We're better off with fewer uneducated people that rely on welfare.

They don’t completely rely on welfare Lucy. Read the article.

What is this then from the article:

"Immigrants who rely completely on welfare programs"
