Ep 469 | Why Would We Bring In Immigrants to Live on Welfare?
from Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz · host Blaze Podcast Network
Immigration should benefit America, not drain our public resources. That's why down through history, we did not let in immigrants who would become a "public charge" — dependent on welfare. I discuss the history, law, and context for today’s rule, announced by the Trump administration, to enforce our public charge laws. It’s common sense and quite modest compared to the actual law, yet the media is going insane over it. I explain what the rule will do and how a huge amount of public charge will still be left on the table. Then, of course, there is illegal immigration, which remains untouched by this proposal.Show links Surprise!
