Senate GOP fails to halt welfare funding for non-citizens
As long as we are laying out an all-you-can-eat buffet they will keep coming. Many of them are here to suckle on the teat of the American taxpayer.
The Senate shows by this vote they really aren't serious about protecting the American taxpayer, nor about ending illegal immigration.
From Just the News:
U.S. Senate Republicans failed to halt over $5 billion in funding for refugees, with 20 GOP senators joining every Senate Democrat to continue providing costly taxpayer benefits to refugees.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act to end taxpayer benefits for refugees, asylees and illegal immigrants earlier this week.
In an impassioned plea on the Senate floor Friday afternoon, Paul argued that the U.S. shouldn’t be "the world’s sugar daddy.”
"Many refugees are good people, frankly, some of the best Americans just got here, but our welcome mat should not be a welfare check. Anyone who sponsors immigrants or refugees should be responsible for their welfare,” the senator argued before the vote.
You know, the Republicans should call the Democrat's bluff and tell them we would stop all demands for deportations and even strict border vetting in return for an end to any and all government welfare programs for illegal aliens. You know how that will turn out; they'll refuse, and no doubt call Republicans racist in the process. It might expose them but the meia will labor to cover it up. The fact is the Democrats need the welfare programs as much as they need the aliens; it's the only way their scheme to gain eternal dominance in politics will work. They not only need the aliens here to vote and become citizens but they need the programs to lure them and bribe them into voting Democrat.
Cut off the money and you cut off the enticement to immigrate. I compared it once to feeding birds in the park; you start with tossing some stale bread to one bird and before you know it you have a whole flock. You would have just the one bird pecking the ground if you hadn't decided to be Mr. Nice Guy. Now you got 'em all hounding you and crapping on your car.
