发帖数: 897 | 1 he White House is reportedly sitting on executive orders that would seek to
deport immigrants who are already living in the U.S. with documentation, the
Washington Post reports.
“Our country’s immigration laws are designed to protect American taxpayers
and promote immigrant self sufficiency. Yet households headed by aliens are
much more likely than those headed by citizens to use Federal means-tested
public benefits,” reads one of the orders. It is titled, “Executive Order
on Protecting Taxpayer Resources by Ensuring Our Immigration Laws Promote
Accountability and Responsibility.”
The draft relies on the assumption that “immigrant households are more
likely to use welfare benefits,” though no evidence is provided to support
the claim.
Its enforcement would also rely heavily on the presumption that some
individuals entering the country are more likely to rely on public
assistance, specifically because the order notes the administration would “
deny admission to any alien who is likely to become a public charge.”
Another draft order titled “Executive Order on Protecting American Jobs and
Workers by Strengthening the Integrity of Foreign Worker Visa Programs.”
The White House did not respond to the Post‘s requests for comments on
Monday or Tuesday. |
