Trump's plan to deport legal immigrants dependent on taxpayer assistance...

The Trump administration is considering a plan to weed out would-be immigrants who are likely to require public assistance, as well as to deport — when possible — immigrants already living in the United States who depend on taxpayer help, according to a draft executive order obtained by The Washington Post.

A second draft order under consideration calls for a substantial shake-up in the system through which the United States administers immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, with the aim of tightly controlling who enters the country and who can enter the workforce, and reducing the social-services burden on U.S. taxpayers.


WaPo

I read this as Trump's plan final solution to get rid of all immigrants, legal or otherwise.

They want to show immigrants as lazy and a drain on society.

Someone else did that before...
