He was told that if he uses government assistance such as welfare, it would seriously jeopardize his ability to continue to reside here. This is the reason many Latinos support Trump to the disbelief of the left. They resent that there are rules for people who do the right thing and those who feel that crossing illegally into the USA is their God given right. and how would you feel if (while waiting) somebody with more money paid "people smuggles" just to get ahead of you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critics have said the rule would disproportionately bar low-income people from developing countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia from permanent residency. It seems to me, an immigration law that bars anyone who is a first generation immigrant from public assistance would make more sense. Look at Thailand. They require for both Marriage and Retirement extensions a minimum deposit in the bank or minimum monthly transfer. And that is just for an extension of stay, not permanent residency.

While ignoring the reality of places like Japan, China, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such differences in interpretation of the law. Is it, or is it not Constitutional? Of course it's constitutional. The executive branch sets immigration policy, while the lobbyists and congress tries to undermine it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting children in potential danger may be even classified as a form of child abuse. Not nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you actually try to hold both countries to the same standard! Okay...got it! You sort of answered my question. I know the difference and I feel as you do about the reasons. Do you really think its the Thai oppressed who get into the US? It's mostly the sons and daughters or supporters of the people who control everything who take that extra citizenship. They are the ones who get access from the embassy. With more than 5,000 Thais getting US citizenship each year, it's pretty clear the US is one of the top if not the most generous nation on the planet with letting people in. And on top of the legal entries,no doubt many more than 5k Thais overstay and live illegally in the US each year. It would be nice if Thailand were so open to average Americans. I'd guess that idea people have of the US having some sort of duty to the world's people to let them in was created by people who aren't Americans. It all seems to connect to that inscription by the French on the Statue. Anyways, there really is no obligation open the door in the constitution and times change.
