    President Trump signed a presidential proclamation on Friday to protect American taxpayers from being forced to subsidize the healthcare costs of legal immigrants wanting to permanently resettle in the United States.

    In a new rule, beginning November 3, foreign nationals applying for visas — not including refugees, asylees, or those on nonimmigrant visas — will have to prove that they will have either employer-based health insurance before arriving in the U.S. or a non-subsidized private health insurance plan...The rule means that foreign nationals with serious health issues and no means to pay for health insurance will not be eligible to obtain visas to permanently begin resettling in the U.S. — saving American taxpayers billions in subsidized costs.

    This is outstanding news for Americans.

    As Democrats pander to illegals and campaign in foreign countries-Trump is making it very difficult to game the system.

    These measures should mean legal immigrants coming to the US are less dependent on the govt, and hopefully less strain on the healthcare system as well.

    Brilliant!!!
    When all around you is falling apart, go after your favorite group....immigrants. Why, because they can't defend themselves.

    They need to be able to take care of themselves, which is the point.

    Why? Because they come here to get free stuff from America taxpayers and we are Trillions in debt? Do you pay taxes?

    OHH, THAT'S the point.
    No, it isn't. It's BS rhetoric that you bought into.

    If that's your argument, it doesn't make sense. You obviously voted for Trump, who has,and continues to add to the debt while at the same time (if you believe him) has stopped illegal immigration.

    While I don't paint myself as a liberal, just more liberal as most people, my dreams are a thing of beauty compared to Trumps at this time. Sleep well Mr. Trump, sleep well.

    You use the word "obviously" as if I buy into the false dichotomy of our two political parties like most people do. I vote for the lesser of two evils. Now if you go back and look at some of my prior posts you will see I think Trump is a con man on stopping illegals. But he is not proposing to role out the red carpet of free stuff like the dims are.

    The only people who ever ran for President that I liked were Ron Paul and Ross Perot. If the Dims had nominated Jim Webb instead of Mrs. Bill Clinton I would have gladly voted for him.

    Note I always call Clinton Mrs. Bill Clinton as a reminder to people that without her husband she wouldn't have been elected as dog catcher.

    The US can afford to be choosy about who we allow in.

    And that includes not becoming the 3rd worlds atm.

    America first.

    Legal immigrants don't come to get free stuff. Why make up stuff like that.
    They come for jobs or education.

    Sounds like Trump is protecting Americans from people who think like you. When was the last time you put an American ahead of a foreigner and when was the last time you put America ahead of a foreign country?

    Wait...isn't the left's argument that the overwhelming majority of illegals in the country came here legally and overstayed their visas? So why are they staying here and not going home? Answer: Free stuff.

    Well that is a marvelous piece of editing to leave out what minimal things they are willing to do.
    For all you know, it's just life threatening things.

    Many a lefty has tried that line before.

    Everyone (including illegals, legal immigrants, and US citizens) are protected from life threatening things already through a series of laws that mandate treatment.

    Unless its your premise that those dems are promising illegals benefits that they already have.

    This thread is about cutting of taxpayer support for these people. You make it sound like they will somehow decline any free stuff they can get. Which of course they won't. If these people don't come here for free stuff why give them free stuff?

    Do you pay taxes???

    In this case it's true. You don't get to hear if them people are getting everything incl a dental plan, or just... as long as they do not bleed to death... which is what the US currently has.

    exactly. So

    Its not true-its an excuse you pulled out of thin air to avoid the thread topic.

    Like I said-many a lefty has already tried that line.

    Some of you don't seem to understand what a visa actually is.
    You apply for a visa to enter the US from your home country, and if you are eligible it's granted. With this visa you can travel to the US and at the port of entry request that you be admitted, and it can be denied even when you arrive in the US.
    The musician Cat Stevens, even though he had a valid visa was denied entry when he got to the US.
    https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...equently-asked-questions/what-is-us-visa.html
    It's not a right and a visa can readily be denied to anyone.
    And as for denying entry if you don't have health insurance and may become a burden on the taxpayer, it's called public charge and has been on the books for over 100 years.

    Sorry? You think it’s our responsibility to take care of non-citizens when there are millions of citizens that already have nothing? You’re such a generous guy with other peoples money.

    To the extent that they don't die in the streets.... of course. If some American abroad seeks help when say shot in a robbery, than they too expect to be helped. Your idea that some American just bleeds to death in the streets of London with ppl around it going sorry bruh, you aint not British enough to plug in that hole you got there..... funny.
