Ending Non Citizen Welfare

There is no reason why the US should make non-citizens eligible for US Welfare Programs.  That includes food stamps, housing assistance, healthcare, education and other subsidies. 

These Welfare Programs serve as an incentive for illegal immigration and refugee programs.  We could eliminate all illegals and refugees if we ended funding for welfare for all non-citizens. This could save the US government over $300 billion per year. There are about 20 million illegals in the US and 55% are subsidized by welfare programs.  If these subsidies went away, they would move back to their home countries.

Immigration policy based on merit and need could then be restored. All immigrants and all immigrants and refugees should be self-supporting and sponsored by individual families or corporations.
