LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL
— A collision between the welfare state, immigration – Editorial (DIERSEN:
What percent of immigrants need/want massive government assistance to
succeed?)
https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-a-collision-between-the-welfare-state-immigration-1950356/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
America is built on the hopes and dreams of immigrants. But for the first 190
years of this nation’s existence, those immigrants arrived on our shores
largely without any expectation of public handouts for food, shelter, medical
care or anything else. Today, progressives advocate turning that equation on
its head in a race for votes cynically cloaked as compassion. It was only 24
years ago that President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, signed a law holding
immigrant sponsors responsible for the costs of any welfare benefits received
by their charges. Current law also already prevents legal immigrants from
collecting means-tested federal benefits for five years. Is it so unreasonable
that many U.S. taxpayers might balk at immediately subsidizing migrants who
enter the country illegally? The debate over illegal immigration is too often
dominated by extremists locked in a cage match over whether to throw open the
borders or to conduct mass deportations. The distinction between legal and
illegal immigration — along with the costs and economic value of each — becomes
clouded. Where is the reasonable middle ground? A recent Harvard study, Reason
magazine reports, found that many Americans would be less hostile toward
immigration if advocates made “the case that immigrants don’t need handouts to
succeed.” Viewed through that lens, perhaps the administration plan to restrict
public assistance can be seen as pro-immigrant, while the Democratic demand
that taxpayers write a check so illegal immigrants may collect the “free” stuff
they propose is, ironically, precisely the opposite.)
