Get Ready for a Dem Meltdown over Trump’s Latest Immigration Comment: ‘I Don’t Want People That Need Welfare’

As has been made abundantly clear over the past few years, orderly immigration of foreign nationals into the United States is an incredibly important topic for President Donald Trump, one he has sought to address in a myriad of ways since taking office.

Despite the insistence to the contrary of the president’s detractors, Trump has shown no signs of hating all foreigners and immigrants, or wanting to close the nation’s borders entirely to all newcomers.

He clearly understands the economic necessity of migrant workers for certain jobs, not to mention the longstanding American tradition of welcoming those who wish to contribute to this great nation.

Those two points — the economic need for migrant workers and a desire for them to be self-sustaining and productive members of society — were addressed by Trump in a recent exclusive interview in the Oval Office with reporters for Breitbart News.

“I don’t want to have anyone coming in that’s on welfare,” Trump told his interviewers at one point.

“We have a problem, because we have politicians that are not strong, or they have bad intentions, or they want to get votes, because they think if they come in they’re going to vote Democrat, you know, for the most part,” the president added.

Those remarks came in regard to a statistic provided in a recent report in December by the conservative Center for Immigration Studies that claimed that an estimated 63 percent of non-citizen households ended up enrolled in some sort of welfare program.

That number, nearly two-thirds of all immigrant households, is vastly higher than the estimated 35 percent of American citizen households that are enrolled in one or more welfare programs.

Though critics will often claim that immigrants are prohibited by law from accepting welfare, that isn’t entirely the case.

Do you agree that immigrants should be able to support themselves?

While the prohibition holds true for newly-arrived legal immigrants and illegal immigrants, not to mention temporary visitors, legal immigrants can eventually qualify for welfare after a set time, non-citizen children are often exempted from the prohibition, and some states offer their own welfare to non-citizens, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. (That’s not to mention, of course, fraud and scams on the system.)

Trump stressed in the interview that while he understood and accepted the reality that some industries require migrant workers in certain capacities, he also stated his belief that Democrats want to just throw open the borders and allow anyone and everyone to enter the country, regardless of whether they would contribute to or be a drag upon the larger society.

“They’ll take anybody into this country and we’re not allowing it, but because of the success of the country economically, some people say — I blame myself, but that’s a good blame, not a bad blame — but because of the country’s success and you need workers here,” he said.

“You do need workers. You have homes in Houston, and they can’t get people to build the homes — and lots of other places. But because of what’s happened, and because of the people coming up, they want them to come in and they don’t care how they come in,” he added.

Trump reiterated, “I don’t want people that need welfare,” and added, “We owe a lot of money.”

He then launched into a tangent, as he is known to do, about how much the United States pays in terms of military defense agreements that provide safety and security to NATO and other allied nations, often with little in return from those purportedly friendly nations.

“But I don’t like the idea of people coming in and going on welfare for 50 years, and that’s what they want to be able to do — and it’s no good,” Trump said.

These remarks from the president will no doubt cause a meltdown among elected Democrats and the liberal media, but only because what he said is fundamentally true and, in essence, called them out for supporting a situation that is illegal and unfair to American citizens.

Our nation does need immigrants, but those individuals and families we allow to enter our nation should be capable of supporting themselves as much as possible and not rely on handouts from U.S. taxpayers to barely survive in poverty.

Aside from the meltdown that’s coming from the left, it remains to be seen how a majority of the Democratic Party will ultimately react to what Trump said, as he quite explicitly acknowledged the need for more immigrants, so long as they don’t take advantage of the already overdrawn welfare system in our country.

Democrats can risk running afoul of their rabid base by supporting that common sense notion, or go on record as being in favor of destitute migrants from around the globe being a drag on our generous system, at taxpayer expense.

ADMISSIONS SCANDAL HITS FAR LEFT HOLLYWOOD AND IVY LEAGUE! Up to 50 people charged with paying MILLIONS To Cheat Their Kids Into Top Schools

Guest post by Bright Start News

A massive scandal is erupting in Hollywood and in college admissions offices in top universities around the country, as up to 50 people were slapped with federal charges today related to buying their kids way into the schools!

We’re talking about entitled liberals spending MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to cheat  their way in. This was all done at the expense of hard working students, some girls and minorities who would’ve otherwise earned their way in, but lost the spot to the entitled Hollywood progressives.

Lori Loughlin’s YouTube star daughter is being mercilessly trolled on social media after her mother was among those charged in a plot to help wealthy Americans cheat their children’s way into universities.

Olivia Jade Giannulli, who is the 19-year-old daughter of Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, started attending classes at the University of Southern Californialast year.

Apparently jade never wanted to go to school, except to party!

She posted a video to her YouTube channel on the day she was due to start college last year, saying: ‘I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend.

‘But I’m gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying… I don’t really care about school, as you guys all know.’

Lori has deleted her twitter account. Good move.

Worse, some of these progressives lied to claim minority status!

Prosecutors said in court on Tuesday that some students also lied about their ethnicity on applications to take advantage of affirmative action.

Elizabeth “fauxcahantus” Warren is a piker compared to these progressive elites.

Some of the celebrities charged include:

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli – Paid $50,000 to get their daughter into USC.

Felicity Huffman (Married to William H Macy) – Accused of paying $15,000 to cheat on SAT’s to get into USC.

Felicity is all about feminism, except where her daughter is concerned.

“I am woman! Hear me write a check to pay off a bribe to get my daughter into school!”

Other main players are a who’s who of social elite:

Rudolph Meredith – Soccer coach at Yale (some are accused of granting scholarships to students who never played the sports in which they were granted scholarships)

John Vandemoer – Sailing coach, Yale

Michael Center – Soccer coach U of T

Donna Heinel – Senior Women’s Athletic Director (So much for feminism)

Laura Janke – USC Coach

Ali Khosroshahin – USC Coach

Jovan Vavic – USC Coach

Bill McGlashan – Started a “social impact fund” with BONO.

Gamal Abdelaziz – CEO Wynn Resorts (Full list here)

We’re betting this story gets MUCH bigger. Everyone will be lining up to roll on everyone else.

Stay tuned…

Lisa Page: FBI discussed charging Clinton with ‘gross negligence’ but the DOJ said no

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified before Congress last summer but it was a closed session. Today, transcripts of her appearance were released and they apparently contained some news about what the FBI thought about Hillary Clinton’s private email system. According to Page, the FBI discussed charging Clinton for behaving with gross negligence, but the DOJ said no. From the Washington Examiner:

Page said Comey and the FBI spoke with DOJ about a gross negligence charge for Clinton multiple times, but that the DOJ consistently pushed back on it. “We had multiple conversations with the Justice Department about bringing a gross negligence charge. And that’s, as I said, the advice that we got from the Department was that they did not think — that it was constitutionally vague and not sustainable,” she said.

Ratcliffe asked if the decision not to charge Clinton with gross negligence was a direct order from the DOJ. “When you say advice you got from the Department, you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you: ‘You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to,’” he said.

Page responded: “That’s correct.”

This fits with something John Solomon at the Hill reported last month. According to his congressional testimony, former FBI General Counsel James Baker had initially supported charging Clinton under gross negligence but changed his mind:

“So, I had that belief initially after reviewing, you know, a large binder of her emails that had classified information in them,” he said. “And I discussed it internally with a number of different folks, and eventually became persuaded that charging her was not appropriate because we could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that — we, the government, could not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that — she had the intent necessary to violate (the law).”

It makes a big difference whether the change of heart came from the FBI or the DOJ. Why? Because former FBI Director Comey said the reason he gave a statement without clearing it first with the DOJ is that he wasn’t sure AG Loretta Lynch could be trusted. Part of that distrust was based on the tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton but part of it was based on Lynch’s insistence that Comey refer to the investigation into Clinton as a “matter” rather than an investigation. That just happened to line up with the messaging being put out at the time by the Clinton camp.

Lynch never recused herself from the investigation but after the tarmac meeting she agreed to accept whatever recommendation the FBI made about whether or not to prosecute Hillary. What we found out later is that was a hollow promise because, according to texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, Lynch already knew the FBI was not going to recommend charges. And now it turns out that it was the DOJ that told the FBI to forget about charging Hillary even as some at the FBI thought it was warranted.

So to sum this up, Lynch was clearly in the bag for Clinton from the start, so much so that even Comey could see it. Comey had multiple conversations with DOJ about charging Clinton under gross negligence but Lynch’s DOJ told him to forget about it. Then the tarmac meeting happened and Lynch promised to accept whatever the FBI recommended as if her hands were off it. But by that point, she already knew DOJ had talked the FBI out of charging Clinton. Per page, “she knows no charges will be brought.”

What a sham this whole process was from the beginning. No wonder the rank and file FBI agents were furious. They could see back then what we can all see now: The fix was in to protect Hillary. Anyone not named Clinton who had tried this would have been charged.

I’m including this clip again to point out that the evidence of Hillary’s guilt wasn’t that hard to see if you looked:

GOP Appropriations Rep. Fleischmann: Wall Funding ‘Will Get Done’

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” House Appropriations Committee member and Homeland Security Subcommittee Ranking Member Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN) stated that Democrats will have to compromise on border wall funding and “It will get done.” Co-host Sandra Smith asked, “Does it have any chance of passing in a Democratic-controlled House?” Fleischmann answered, “Absolutely. There’s no reason that we won’t get border funding, and I will tell you why. The Democrats have other priorities than we do, but we have the Senate. We have the White House. The Democrats only control one-third of the process. So, if they’re going to want to get their other domestic spending needs addressed, they will have to compromise, as they did last time, on the wall and on border funding. It will get done.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
