Trump Admin Cracks Down On Legal Immigrants Receiving Public Assistance | Craig Melvin | MSNBC

In October 2019, it could become harder for legal immigrants on welfare and taxpayer assistance to obtain green cards. The Trump administration will soon require immigrants to prove they will not need any form of public assistance if they are changing their immigration status.

    1. Trump actually has the best economy out of pretty much any president because he’s not owned by KKKlan slave importers like you.

    1. CynAnne1 I know don’t you love Trump he is a genius For every tweet you guys fall to his hands what amazes me you can’t see it and CNN and MSNBC Fall for his Trap every time never fails we love your Trump

    2. Then you *can have* him, AV… 😎
      After all, #45 *loves* foreigners…he even *marries them* on a fairly regular basis. 😏

  1. This mental midget has got to go.Trumpers go listen to Chris Hedges talks on youtube it might open your eyes to the bigger picture

    1. @Grim Reefer your not republicasn otherwise you would support trumps republic ideas. mate every republican brings facts to the table where are yours? i dont see them. you sound pretty upset to me snowflake ;P bahah dont melt

    2. @will drew lol your just a delusional Moron next time you cross the road dont look both ways just remember Trump said its safe even with your eyes closed

    1. @Wuggy Buttz current law is a 10000 💵 fine per hire and we should hold off all federal money who hire outside of everifi

    2. @Wuggy Buttz everything you just stated has not been verified or came to light yet and since these companies are in the poultry processing business I’m sure some fed inspectors would have noticed they were using slave labor and the conditions they were working in so lets get the facts first before making any kind of crazy judgments maybe they did maybe they didn’t just wait for factual evidence and then go nuts.

  2. As America leaves its’ own country behind, social programs will collapse, healthcare all but a disaster, nobody is allowed in, and farmers crops rot in the fields..Dystopia begins….Rules unheard of enforced….. This version of “trump maids tale” will air on FOX TV. The potus will rebuild with the White Nationalist ideals he spews inside his own wall. God Help the USA while this man further tears it to pieces…and is being allowed to. Is anybody going to stop this ?

    1. @foreigner fan It’s funny you idiots keep bringing up trump derangement syndrome, a made up disease, when talking about your opponents. In reality, brain scans have shown that conservatives have a larger amygdala, the fight or flight center of the brain responsible for emotional responses like fear, while also having a smaller, less developed anterior cingulate cortex, the part of the brain dedicated to fact checking and evaluating evidence. Being a cancervative is a literal neuro-degenerative disease. Think about that.

    1. Beverly Glover Why give him that? At no point has anyone claimed Trump to be a Saint. Funny how you say Tards wanted Hillary. that is why we LAUGH at you and make fun of you.

    2. test Testing FAKE racist? Hmmm You forgot the I in your last word. That’s what your brain seems to be in.

    3. @Michael Shaw hate to break it to you while your probably in bed under posters of Maxine and Pelosi but your in a cnn, msnbc cult living in fantasy land

  3. In Montana, russian immigrants are a huge population there. They not only get food stamps and medical but get housing right away while every other immigrant population can not apply for anything. They even qualify for government loans to buy houses.
    I truly believe companies that hire illegal immigrants should face more than just a monetary hit. One of their practices is that if they don’t want to make payroll, they call ICE so they don’t have to pay. These companies should be forced to pay their employees a livable wage and provide healthcare so that they can entice the regular workforce to come back.

    1. demoncrats want mexican rapists, child traffickers and murderers from mexico to illegally immigrate here

    2. How many raids in Montana I wonder? This guy in the WH is a blatant racist. Democrats need to point out the discrepancy on who is being targeted.

    1. Glenn V No that they will be given a separate treatment for the same offense. They are leading in the recipient of welfare.

    2. Don Williams So America is now a third world nation? It can be hard to support a falling republic. But proceed, comrade, to do so.

    3. @Legacy of Free domain That’s correct, whites are the leading in the recipient of welfare, they are also responsible for most crimes, whites however are for thesame reason also responsible for most of the pooping, breathing and sleeping, because, you know, there’s about 500% more of them than any other race.

  4. 0:20 you were trying to rip down people for not being self-sufficient when most people are making a starvation wages in this country. And are one paycheck away from Financial ruin if anything her life possibly goes wrong. Yes you’d like that big scary immigrants to be self-sufficient. I would like all people in this country to have that same opportunity and ability.

  5. To be clear, the reason employers hire only undocumented workers is to avoid paying matching payroll taxes and Social Security on said workers.
    They are running two sets of books, they could be prosecuted for tax fraud but …. Republicans.

    1. Mainely Hmmm I wonder why you don’t hear Dems NOW that trump is POTUS saying what they said BEFORE he was? Why do Dems not punish Sanctuary Cities? Aiding and Abetting . or punish those with FAKE documents and stolen SSN? or say NO ILLEGAL can have ANY Gov’t asst.? Oh yeah, the NEW voting block for them.

    2. @Don Williams Are you kidding? Democrats. Trump hires them all the time. Not saying Democratic employers don’t hire them but Trump hires them then doesn’t pay them. No surprise, he doesn’t pay contractors either. Tons of evidence but you want to talk about democrats. Go watch Hannity and he wiĺl make you feel good about the lies you are told to believe. Good disciple.

    1. @Dicky Jones hey Dicky your failed knock off fake pretender messiah wannabe dictator in chieftards is spreading hatred and pushing for violence so please just 🚫plz just go take your medicine you will be ok and if you have any weapons in your house plz turn them in to the closest law enforcement agency… your gonna be ok 🙏🏽👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

    2. Dicky Jones Trump said he would pay the lawyer fees of anyone who was violent against his protesters. What do you call that? And he has said many things like that. That is only one example.

  6. Scapegoating and attacking the poor, while providing 2 trillion dollars in welfare for the rich and billion dollar corporations. Let’s punish the poor, because clearly they haven’t been punished enough. It’s the Republican way.

    1. brian rawson And Canada’s medical system was not meant to provide their medicine to Americans. That’s ok though, isn’t it? It’s ok to take, but not to give.

  7. So Trump and friends are going after the same people they illegally bring in and hire to work at their companies.

    1. @Ro G 647,500. That’s how many people Amazon employs. Learn how business works before you open your mouth about corporate taxes.

    2. brian rawson Aww, look at you defending the richest man in the world’s $900 billion corporation. Soooo cute!! 😍
      Zero federal taxes on $11 annual profit. Not revenue. Profit! That’s not fair share. I pay 30% and sales tax and property tax – federal and state. So just because amazon does some good (employs workers) that’s not carte Blanche to exploit loopholes elsewhere.

  8. No shame. US under Trump. Send us your white blue eye and preferably rich. No more coming to this nation, working hard and finding your way up the ladder.
    People fall on hard times it doesn’t make them unfit to become residents of this nation.

    1. @lexas – And *’Snowflake #45’* will be on his ‘twittyfeed’ *any minute now* , *ranting and/or whining* about how ‘unfairly’ he’s being treated. 🙄
      Poor porcine prezzy… 😂

  9. In a country where you can work two jobs and still not make enough to get off assistance? This is insane.

    1. Since it is so hard for legitimate Americans who were born and raised here , do we really need to admit a bunch of deadbeat foriegn people into the mix

    2. @brian rawson seems funny that as a single mother with 4 children as soon as I started my job at burger king I got kicked off food stamps and lost my medical card. They didn’t give me time to get ahead or get caught up on bills, it was instantly. I’m born and raised in the good ole USA.

  10. We need to kickout Trumps wife and inlaws…Take away those green cards!!!!Take away their citizenship.

  11. Cuccinelli is a liar and a thug. That much is no surprise; those are qualifications for any +rump appointment. However, the fact that he said, _”People of any income (can) stand on their own two feet,”_ should be seen as an admission that he is intellectually incompetent to hold his position, and *he should be forced to step down immediately.*

    If what he said were true, no one would need more than one job.

    If what he said were true, *Walmart* workers wouldn’t be dependent on multiple forms of public assistance.

    Unless TheCooch wants to admit that he is lying, in furtherance of racist thuggery, he should be forced to step down immediately, *for gross incompetence.*

    If he DOES want to admit it, then he should be forced to step down immediately, *for lying, in furtherance of racist thuggery.*

  12. Trump is a horrific tyrant, a monster, a cruel, sadistic devil…. That’s why his base loves him.
