President Trump's ban on allowing legal immigrants dependent on welfare to resettle permanently in the United States would be likely to save American taxpayers about $57.4B - which is 1,600 a year per immigrant.

Yesterday Neon Nettle reported Trump had sent a clear message to "welfare leeches" who take advantage of the American taxpayer.

The Trump Administration is finalizing an update to current regulation that aims to crack down those who abuse the system while making it more difficult for welfare users to obtain green cards.

Illegal and legal immigrant-headed households use nearly 60 percent more taxpayer-funded food stamps than households headed by native born Americans, a study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed in 2016.

Harvard University economist George Borjas says the country’s decades of importation of more than 1.5 million legal immigrants every year is the world’s “largest anti-poverty program” that comes at the expense of American citizens who are forced to subsidize the cost.

“Since 1965, we have admitted a lot of low-skilled immigrants, and one way to view that policy is that we were running basically the largest anti-poverty program in the world. That is actually not a bad thing at all,” Borjas said in an interview last year. “Except someone is
