Trump wants to deny social benefits to immigrants… but it’s already done

Donald trump intends to make a law forbidding immigrants to receive social security benefits for at least five years after their entry into the country.
About this trump told the audience during a rally in Iowa. He stressed that his administration is «very soon» begin work on the bill.

«I think it is time for new immigration rules. I think that the people who come to our country to live, should be able to support themselves financially for at least five years, and not to use the welfare of our country,» the President said.

But the problem is that such a law… already exists. Immigrants can’t get social benefits during the first five years of their stay in the country — this bill was passed in 1996 during the presidency of bill Clinton.

According to Daily News, this is not the first time trump «invents» something that is already invented before him.

So, in January of this year, Donald trump said that his slogan for the next elections in 2020 will be: «Keep America Great» and even registered it as a trademark.
The same slogan has been used in American movie-dystopia «the purge 3» (The Purge: Election Year) to 2016.

As for social programs, we will remind, the administration of trump’s plans in the next 10 years to reduce spending on various social benefits in the country at $ 1.7 trillion. We are talking about reduction of financing of medical insurance programs, pension payments to former employees of Federal agencies, social benefits, additional payments to low-income working citizens of the United States, subsidies to farmers, and so on.
