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.
[...] Though its effects could be far-reaching, the proposal to limit citizenship to immigrants who have not used public assistance does not appear to need congressional approval. As the Clinton administration did in 1999, the Trump administration would be redefining the term "public charge," which first emerged in immigration law in the 1800s in order to shield the U.S. from burdening too many immigrants who could not contribute to society.

So - they come here legally. They stay for their alloted welcome time. They are politely reminded that their time is up. If they remain, then they are no longer LEGAL. And, BTW - laws can change. You did understand that? Laws might be changed to make some "immigrants" legal, and laws might be changed to make some of them illegal. I'm in favor of sending anchor babies back to the home of origin of their parents, but that's never going to happen. We CAN send their illegal parents packing though. I don't mind separating illegals from legals, even if I don't like the way the legals became legal.
You may also be confused about naturalization. Unless and until you are naturalized, you're not a citizen. You can be sent packing on little more than a whim, if you're not naturalized. AFTER naturalization, then it takes a good deal more than a whim.

I think we need the Native Americans to stake their original claims and evict the invaders. I for one would be happy to live the shitty life of a refugee just to see assholes like yourself have an aneurysm.
Immigration assholes, the ultimate in FYGM.

Heh. There would be a pretty serious underpopulation problem if the natives kicked everyone else out. They might want to keep some of us around. The Buzzard has a much better chance than I of being kept, but I have a couple traces of native blood in my veins. My wife has an excellent chance of remaining - maybe she can keep me around as her pet white boy. This is one fence I can straddle all day long!
And, you know something else kinda funny? The only "Indian" that I know of who is 100% progressive is Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren. https://www.wnd.com/2018/05/pocahontas-descendent-wants-elizabeth-warren-to-take-dna-test/ [wnd.com]

Fuck that, you gotta stay. I'm not giving up electricity just to have less annoying shits like you around.
