We are already deporting illegals who have commited crimes. Even as simple as a dui.

I agree that we shouldn't be accepting people who are here for the welfare gravy. Life is about choices. Too many people are choosing welfare over doing what it takes to create a better life. We have too many underachieving already.

The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said: "The administration is committed to enforcing existing immigration law, which is clearly intended to protect the American taxpayer by ensuring that foreign nationals seeking to enter or remain in the U.S are self-sufficient. Any proposed changes would ensure that the government takes the responsibility of being good stewards of taxpayer funds seriously and adjudicates immigration benefit requests in accordance with the law."

sounds more and more like the country for the 'haves' to dominate the 'have nots' and place obstacles to them ever becoming haves themselves ...

But that being said. Considering the argument posed. There is logic to the perception that we want to 'protect taxpayer funds'. I wonder why the same administration does not see have that same type of prioritizing between illegal immigrants who have cause danger (crimes) to 'taxpayers' and those who merely grew up here peacefully? Why treat all illegal immigrants the same, but divide legal immigrants into categories based on finances?

funny how trump/trump supporters/the republicans ONLY seem to be worrying about IMMIGRANTS OF COLOR!!!

ESPECIALLY ones from SOUTH of the border!!

they seem to have absolutely NO PROBLEM with people from CANADA who immigrate to this country!!

OR,like Donald trump said....people from places like NORWAY are perfectly welcome to come here!!

so,lets just be honest,and start calling it like it actually IS...

it is NOT a war against IMMIGRANTS....

it is a war against IMMIGRANTS OF COLOR!!!

and an attempt to set the progress that this country has made back DECADES,and make racism socially acceptable in this country again,and bring us back to the 'good ole days' where 'jim crow' laws were the norm!

When we start seeing pale faces crossing the borders by the thousands and lining up at the welfare office or sitting at the ER for free medical, then we will have a problem with them.

yesterday,you made a post complaining about CHINESE people in this country,and wanting to kick THEM [AND ALSO ALL OF THE 'BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS'!!] out of the country..

but,let me guess...
you are going to try to claim that the color of those Chinese people didn't have ANYTHING to do with your post,and you are worried that thery are 'lining up at the welfare office in thousands',even though most of the Chinese people who immigrate to this country are well educated,and fairly well off?

but,gee...
if they aren't lining up at the welfare office in thousands,i wonder what your problem with THEM could possibly be??

[no,i don't!!!!]

I said leaders of countries need to protect their country and bleeding heart liberals need to be deported with them. I never mention anything about Chinese, Mexicans or bumfucked Egypt for that matter.
