CBS News reports:

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.

    As to your question, it is stupid. It isn't a thought experiment it is a simple choice. Are all old people this dumb?

    So - you are unable to "think outside the box".

    You answer that however you see fit, and I'll get back to you.

    Note that I didn't restrict you to a simple yes/no or true/false or black/white answer. Answer however you see fit.

    The most acceptable answer would have been "neither".

    In any of those videos, you can find socialists, and antisocialists. The stars in each of them are the asocial personnas.
