Legal permanent residents have to be resident for 5 years before they can qualify for the bulk of Federal benefits.

You can't blame mathlete, or any number of other posters who repeat the talking points of their party. The GOP wants to win elections, so they say things that try to make the Dems look worse than they are. Their followers buy into it and spread it and after a while they start to believe it. The left does the same thing.
It's politics.

But, I do find it interesting that people on the right, who in so many other cases are so quick to defend the constitution don't care at all about the 14th amendment.

Maybe instead of complaining about who people vote for, maybe you should ask yourself what can be done to get people to want to for GOP, because it appears that you're obsessed with who people vote for.
Ok oh wise one i bow to you. What percentage of each country of origin immigrants voted red

The GOP has no one else to blame than themselves.

Yes I can. When someone says "free stuff", what they really mean is welfare. Welfare was never really a problem until more Black people could get access to it. If the GOP changed their tune and stopped with those talking points, a sizable part of the GOP base would go away. The followers involved aren't as dumb as you think. What the GOP did was take advantage of resentment towards Blacks. Some people already think this way, they just vote for the politician who tells them what they want to hear.

Asian, Muslim and Latino immigrants across USA helped Trump and GOP win

"The tough talk didn't seem to chase away immigrant voters in significant numbers. Tuesday, Democrats got about 68 percent of the Latino vote, slightly higher than the 66 percent won by Hillary Clinton in 2016, while Republicans garnered 30 percent of their vote, just above the 28 percent Trump earned two years ago, according to exit polling.

Asian voters sided with Democrats 77 percent of the time in Tuesday's elections, and Republicans received 23 percent of their vote, the exit polling showed.

Thank you for the snarky remark. By the way, there isn't any date by country of origin to determine who voted for whom. I can tell you this. A majority of Asians voted GOP until 2004. George W. Bush got 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004. It was 29 percent for Trump in 2016. Asians have been more likely to vote red than Hispanics, but this has changed, starting with the Obama administration. Hispanics are more likely to vote red than Blacks. Blacks have the lowest rate of voting red. Far lower than immigrants do. Kind of ironic than you complain about immigrants, when the group who is the least likely to vote red has been in this country since slavery days.
