        I'm still incredulous that one mousy little dead-eyed man, Steven Miller, is basically trying to mold our immigration policy in his white supremacist image & the donor-owned GOP congress is just fine with this. It's not going to be hard for even those on the fence to vote Dem!

        By using benefits when not a legal immigrant they are committing a crime, which disqualifies them from getting a green card. The rules are simple. The people in this country don't pay taxes to take care of those from other countries. I am an immigrant, I never took welfare.

        "The move will affect mainly legal immigrants and their families, since undocumented immigrants are not eligible for most federal benefits." Hey Kerry, the power of reading? Exercise it.

        This info is all from "leaks" and we know how reliable they are, but it indicates that if you are applying for a green card, you must prove you will not use public benefits and can support yourself. That's all! We had to prove that. You can't move here to be supported!

        What are these immigrants doing in a country which isn’t theirs, accepting charity from taxpayers’ wallets? I speak as an immigrant who became an American citizen.

        I don't believe you. Do you understand that people who came here running from torture, for example accepted as refugees were allowed to get food stamps so they could eat?

        You don’t believe me? I wrote about how I came to this country in 2006. In it, you will read that LEGAL immigrants to this country have to sign a waiver saying they will neither apply for, nor receive legal assistance. Now kindly, apologise to me. http://futuremd.blogspot.com/2006/05/my-immigration-experience.html …

        You lost me at your parents deciding to move to the U.S. easy like that? I promise I will read your story, although your ignorance about your privilege astounds me. Do you understand that the benefits are for people whose income is below the poverty line? That they WORK?

        And how DARE you dismiss anyone for being privileged. It is their privilege that is transformed into taxes to feed the poor. Never forget that.

        Privileged people have done nothing but destroy the country and leave it in the desolate condition it's in. You're nothing more than a fool. You are what is wrong with America.

        Where do I download that uninstall program? As far as I can tell his whole family is a type of malware which has installed itself across the country and isn't available for uninstall in the add and remove politicians control panel.
