This could also affect our nation's economy. Workers and students with temporary visas are also being affected and therefore are not allowed to do their jobs or participate in things they normally would due to this regulation. Activists predict that these immigrants will slowly start dropping out of public assistant programs even if it means losing food, shelter, and medicine. Withdrawing from these programs will also affect the children of these immigrants. In fear of keeping their families together, parents will take their children out of these programs that provide needed resources. This new policy could even harm those with mental disabilities and the elderly by not giving them the necessary medicine they need.
Do you think these necessities are a burden for our country to provide? Are things like medicare and food stamps providing too much aid to immigrants? How do you think immigrants dropping out of aid programs will affect our country?
I believe that we as a county should focus on our own citizens before we can start helping immigrants with necessities. I feel like we shouldn't provide immigrants with medicare and food stamps, we need to help our own citizens first. I feel like immigrants dropping out of the aid programs will open up positions that U.S citizens will be able to apply for.
ReplyDeleteOur country needs to help people who want to become citizens become citizens. Our country needs to focus more on citizens than helping illegals in our country. If we have a starving citizen we need to help them before we help a starving illegal.
ReplyDeleteI believe we as a country should worry about citizens before we worry about immigrants. Providing for immigrants is important, but we must take our own citizens into consideration first. -Hannah T.
