I don't agree with what Trump said. Running your mouth doesn't solve problems.

Even legal immigrants should not get a free pass.

Our Government Federal and State need to do their job and follow up on these types of buisnesses. I can give you some address' to start with.

Our government is corrupt to the bone. They need an ignorant voting base to keep them in power.

My guess is that those who are asking for a citation for that number are the two that voted "bring on the needy!"

Globalism, encouraging Americans to adopt a "world view" rather than an "American view." You cannot support both a strong American middle class and globalism. Globalism, time and time again, has proven to help the ultra-rich and hurt the middle class, yet liberals support it. They support letting poor people come here being supported by the American tax payer.

Liberals preach helping the poor by taking from the rich to give to the poor but poor Americans mistakenly believe this means helping them but they ignore that by worlds standards, even our poor live much better SOL than people in 3rd world countries. The future of the liberal world order depended on Hillary winning the presidency to advance their agenda of open borders and full fledged globalism, with total disregard of hurting people in our country (Trump called them the forgotten man) but now all Democrats and Liberals can do is fight for the continuance of open borders to increase their voter base to put them back in power and back on track to fulfilling their agenda..

If you also take into account households without children the numbers are 51% of immigrant-led households receive at least one kind of welfare benefit, 30% for native-led households.

The study was conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (a staunchly anti-immigration organization whose reports are regularly disputed by mainstream scholars, researchers and fact-checkers) using 2012 data from the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation.

YES
I support Trump's merit-based immigration reform policy.

And restart a work-for-welfare program that replaces illegals with able-bodied welfare recipients.
Illegals not only can support themselves on those jobs, they send back $24 billion a year to Mexico in remittances.
