On national POW day too. What a piece of shit. Not at all surprised though. More surprised he didn't call him out by name.
Probably still pissed a dead McCain robbed him of a week of attention during funeral week.

Fml!

I'm ignorant about this but can an immigrant even get benefits without a green card or visa?
So its hard to fault the amendment.
That's what I thought.
I was surprised my mother in law could get food stamps as a green card holder. We never did cuz we never needed to but still I thought such benefits were only for citizens.
Can you be a permanent resident without a green card or visa?No permanent residents get everything that citizens do apart from the right to vote.
Not as far as I know.Can you be a permanent resident without a green card or visa?
If they are refugees, they might have no other choice until they get on their feet and there's a quota for that but if they are otherwise an immigrant they have no business being a net negative on the tax bracket in any country. So its hard to fault the amendment.

They are just called green cards because they are green. Although my previous one was yellowish.Can you be a permanent resident without a green card or visa?
Green Card holder = Permanent resident.
That's confusing me. The tweet said they'll deny a green card to anyone who has used the benefit system, yet they apparently need a green card to claim benefits anyway.
It's really late here so maybe I'm just tired and not getting it.
Yeah, perhaps you're right, that does sound feasible.Maybe you can claim benefits on a visa ?

Then none of the immigration population should pay any social security tax whatsover. How can I be taxed for social safety net if the said net will deny me a citizenship when I avail some of the benefits?
What if someone loses their job through no fault of their own and can't find another for a while?
They've paid taxes and those taxes go to social security, unemployment etc.
You're saying even though immigrants pay into these social safety nets, they have no right to use them?
By imigration law if a work visa holder loses their job they should leave the country immediately.
I might not agree with it but it's the law.
So therefore they couldn’t be claiming welfare anyway?
Have you seen this shite???

If they were on a work visa, yes. If they are on a student visa, they are required to provide proof that they have the means to support themselves over the duration of their study and won't apply for welfare. I had an ex-gf who was an immigration lawyer at a medical school.
There are of course others who come through chain migration, marriage to a US citizen etc. I don't know how it works for them.

If my green card is currently under process and I have a filed I 485 application, I'm in authorized status and even if I lose my job. Unless there are extreme mitigating circumstance, I would have already filed for Advance Parole and EAD while filing my 485. I can even travel abroad and come back with my I485, but as long as I remain in the US, I can work for any company in US. I can 'port' my job with a new employer and I usually have the 180 day grace period to do this. If I've paid 10 years of SSN and I should be able to utilize the safety net I paid for anyway during this grace period. With this law, if I ever claimed social security benefit, USCIS will reject my I485 as well, basically making me lose my immigration status and I will be placed in deportation proceedings.
I've lived in this country since 2005 with a break of an year in 2012. I would have easily paid anywhere between 70,000 to 120,000 USD in social security taxes during my time of employment here. With 3 to 5% gain of the invested amount annually, I've contributed near enough 200,000K as of today to the SSN scheme with increasingly hostile administrations making it harder for me to live in this country. At the very least, I'll live here for another couple of years and by the time I'm 67 eligible for retirement benefits, using current return projections, my contribution would be anywhere between 400K to half a million. I have zero confidence about this money coming to my help when I'm 67 years as I will most definitely be living in India and administrations like this may easily introduce a memo that will make aliens outside US not availing their rightful social security benefits.
