Trump’s Immigrant Welfare Ban Would Save Taxpayers $1600 Each Year Per Immigrant
President Trump’s ban on allowing welfare-dependent legal immigrants to resettle permanently in the United States would likely be a $57.4 billion tax cut for Americans — saving American taxpayers about $1,600 each year per immigrant.
The Trump administration is set to roll out a plan in the next month that bars foreign nationals who need government welfare in order to live from resettling in the U.S, according to reports. The Trump White House has been laying the groundwork to initiate the ban on welfare importation since February.
Such a plan would be a boon for American taxpayers, who currently spend about $57.4 billion per year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low skilled legal immigrants every year.
Breitbart reports: In the last decade, the U.S. has imported more than 10 million foreign nationals and is on track to import the same amount in the coming decade if legal immigration controls are not implemented.
The National Academies of Science released a report two years ago, noting that state and local American taxpayers are billed about $1,600 each year per immigrant to pay for their welfare, where immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households.
