Now the Trump administration wants to limit citizenship for legal immigrants - Polidicks

WASHINGTON — 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. The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year. Details of the rulemaking proposal are still being finalized, but based on a recent draft seen last week and described to NBC News, immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever used or whose household members have ever used Obamacare, children's health insurance, food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from obtaining legal status in the U.S. Immigration lawyers and advocates and public health researchers say it would be the biggest change to the legal immigration system in decades and estimate that more than 20 million immigrants could be affected. They say it would fall particularly hard on immigrants working jobs that don't pay enough to support their families. SOURCE: Now the Trump administration wants to limit citizenship for lega..

Burn in hell, Trump

Its essentially a war on the poor as well.

This is going to fuck over the production of STEM majors immensely.

I just... Even from a fucking PR perspective, what do they think they stand to gain from this shit? This doesn't create jobs, you asshole. This doesn't magically fix the economy. This doesn't fix anything, and all it does it make you guys look even worse than you already do.

The really really fucked up thing about this is that it includes Obamacare as a benefit rather than recognizing it as the healthcare system of the USA. You are legally required to purchase health insurance through Obamacare/ACA or be fined and yet if you followed that law you will now be denied citizenship and lose your green card. Stephen Miller should burn in hell.

Less non-whites

There's no way you can justify this shit with a straight face unless you happen to be the kind of person who'll willingly have shit shoveled in your mouth, and say you like the taste into the bargain.

It does if you're convinced immigrants are the source of the aformentioned problems.

They've locked themselves in a corner. Demographic change will make previously GOP dominated states swing or Dem leaning. And if they try to appeal to minorities their base will go crazy.

Funny how a lot of the house is 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants are now basically "fuck you got mine".

Why bother coming in legally if you’re just gonna get fucking worked over like this. The only upside is that your not going to get hunted down and thrown in a camp, I guess. Fuck this administration.

A lot of people see minimum wage salaries in America which are a lot more than what's available in their country, but don't really realize the cost of living is so much higher. Some polish coworkers though that $8.50 was a lot of money and came over for hourly pay only to realize how much you fucking get nickel and dimed in America and had almost nothing left at the end of the summer to take home

Once more, for the people in the back: https://i.imgur.com/VkqcBZt.jpg

Careful, I can hear the resident drive-by trumpets crawling around in the woodwork.

Look at how many immigrants are in trumps family lmao

And her parents go back with her; end chain migration! That's what Trump is yelling about all the time, right? What do you mean it's okay when I do it that's not how this works Donnie you big baby

more red meat, keep throwing that red meat, one hopes that base gets so much red meat it chokes and dies.

What gets me the most is not just if you're on welfare, but also if you live with someone who does. It's infuriating

So, how long until the courts shoot this down? Given that Congress is too chicken shit to do their job.

No, you see, it's okay because they're white.

Can we deport Miller back to his home planet? He's fucking up this one too much.

It's not even GOP dominated states that is the cause of this - it is their gerrymandering literally everywhere. The past decade they purposefully chose to give themselves all the white voters so they'd always win elections which has locked them into becoming more and more extreme because if they take a more moderate stance on immigrants then their ONLY voter base, the whites, will riot and vote for someone further right-wing than them and there are no moderate minorities to vote for them to off set this in their districts. The GOP fucked over democracy and therefore their party and thus all of us so we live in Trump's hell world now.

Got an email today with a job offer in Redmond. It's funny, 2 years ago I'd be totally nuts over the idea to get to work in the US. Now I pretty much instantly decline.

Trump specifically wants Scandinavians tho

So how long before the mandatory armbands?

He can bloody well piss off m8, we're happy here with our functional healthcare and polar bear cavalry

Illegal immigration in the US to the scale it is right now, is primarily a manufactured problem caused by the artificially difficult and time consuming immigration process, now they want to make it even harder. Yeah, that's totally level headed and not rooted in racism and manufacturing a scapegoat for actual problems.

Well, y'know where he can shove it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0cZY7ef_mk
