Trump proposes a law that's existed for 20 years

President Trump called for a new law barring immigrants from receiving welfare for at least five years at a rally on Wednesday. But neither Trump nor nearly 6,000 of his die-hard supporters seemed to realize that the law has already existed for more than 20 years.

Trump received a standing ovation and pledged his administration would put the legislation into effect “very shortly.”

“I believe the time has come for new immigration rules which say that those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years,” Trump told the crowd in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

As The Hill reported, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act in 1996. The law prevents immigrants from receiving federal benefits, such as food stamps, Medicaid, and Social Security for five years after entering the country.

In other news, speaking from the White House earlier today, Trump made a promise that the first man who set his foot on the moon will be an American, not a German or Chinese, and he is therefore going to cut spending to fund a mission to the moon. He also gave the order to NASA to build a very strong and fast rocket.

It actually appears to be legislation that expands and fully enforces the law where it doesn't seem to of being done in the Obama Administration. Not a new one as reported. When it is presented I'm sure the discussion will be rabid.

tumbleweed-I stand corrected, thanks.

I feel so proud to be represented by Bruce Poliquin of Maine who has proposed legislation that would make it illegal for terrorists to receive welfare.
