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.

You aware that it wasn't NATO that pushed in Iraq during the time of the chimpotus. With the continuation in Afghanistan.
Nor were the European pushing US to stir the shit in Syria, until ISIS got enough undefended space to cause troubles (with American weapons [wired.com])
(And certainly the Europeans advised his Orangeness to stop shaking the boat with the Iranians.)
All of the above dwarf the budget you "sink" in NATO at least two orders of magnitude.
I'm telling you - trying to improve your finances on the NATO's account is like being worried about the leak in the Titanic captain's toilet after striking that iceberg.
But anyway, if you want your isolationism, you can pedal on this idea all you want - just don't try to justify it ex post facto, it's simply dumb.
The MIC will let you live with the delusion you have nothing but contempt for them, while they know very well they will have 5-10% of your tax money year after year. Contempt vs hard-cold money is a good deal for them.

There, you have made a valid point. Strike that word "delusion", and the point becomes more valid. I have few delusions, and none of them involve the MIC.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

You do realize that you are uniquely unqualified to determine whether you are deluded, or do we need to bust out the dictionary?

Fair? Or do you prefer "out-of-mindness about/forgetting about it most of the time"?
