Immigration, a public charge, and tax tyranny!

On January 25th, 2020, the United States Supreme Court upheld the Trump Administration’s “public charge” rule, allowing it to take effect. The rule, designed to protect American taxpayers from having to finance the economic needs of millions of immigrants flooding into the United States made it more difficult for them to acquire a green card and permanent residency should they use, or were found likely to use, taxpayer financed benefits such as food stamps, public housing and Medicaid, and thus becoming a “public charge”.

And why not have such a rule? As far back as our colonial period, laws were enacted to prohibit the immigration of individuals who might become a public charge. One such law forbid ”… the admission of indigent migrants. This law was followed in the 18th century by other laws prohibiting the landing of “Sick, Lame, or Otherwise Infirm Persons,” and calling for bonds that were forfeited if immigrants of questionable means became public charges.” See: Public Charge Provisions of Immigration Law: A Brief Historical Background

But now, instead of relying upon CHARITABLE GIVING, to assist foreign nationals who have flooded across our border, the Biden Administration has decided to rescind the “public charge” rule and use the force of federal taxation to directly tax American citizens, confiscate the property they have earned by the sweat of their labor, and redistribute that property for the economic needs of millions of foreign nationals who have flooded across the borders of the United States.

In regard to the use of government power in this manner, one of our forefathers summarized such an act as tyranny!

“Under a just and equal Government, every individual is entitled to protection in the enjoyment of the whole product of his labor, except such portion of it as is necessary to enable Government to protect the rest; this is given only in consideration of the protection offered. In every bounty, exclusive right, or monopoly, Government violates the stipulation on her part; for, by such a regulation, the product of one man’s labor is transferred to the use and enjoyment of another. The exercise of such a right on the part of Government can be justified on no other principle, than that the whole product of the labor or every individual is the real property of Government, and may be distributed among the several parts of the community by government discretion; such a supposition would directly involve the idea, that every individual in the community is merely a slave and bondsman to Government, who, although he may labor, is not to expect protection in the product of his labor. An authority given to any Government to exercise such a principle, would lead to a complete system of tyranny.” See Representative Giles, speaking before Congress February 3rd, 1792

As reported on March 11th, 2021, the Biden administration takes final step to end Trump-era ‘public charge’ rule

“Today, DHS closed the book on the public charge rule and is doing the same with respect to a proposed rule regarding the affidavit of support that would have placed undue burdens on American families wishing to sponsor individuals lawfully immigrating to the U.S.,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.”

Keep in mind as pointed out above, as far back as the 18th century there were laws on the books calling for bonds that were forfeited by sponsors “if immigrants of questionable means became public charges.”

But now, under the Biden Socialist Revolutionary Administration, the United States can be flooded with the poverty stricken populations of other countries, and American taxpaying citizens made to surrender the property they have earned by the sweat of their labor to finance the economic needs of those flooding across our border.

There is no better way to weaken, destroy and bring to its knees a prosperous and freedom loving country than by flooding it with the poverty stricken, poorly educated, low skilled, diseased, disabled and criminal populations of other countries.

Is that against the constitution to change the Rules when a new admin comes aboard.

Happens all the time.

Elections have consequences.

Try again in 2024. Until then the rule stay as our POTUS wants.

What a great idea. Let’s force middle class America to pay for free education, healthcare, housing, meals, etc., to any and all of the impoverished world who can get here?

They are just torquing the pendulum on the same issues that ushered in a reality tv star into office in 2016. Seems neither sides learns.

Well, all that COULD go to helping American citizens, but y’all pitch a fit whenever it’s suggested…

That would be a worthwhile conversation, provided that the border was sealed and immigration was used strictly to benefit the nation as a whole. You cannot sustain any of that so long as “Medicare for the WORLD” is the intended policy.

SEE: 14 GOP-led states file long-shot bid with SCOTUS to defend Trump-era ‘public charge’ rule

March 30, 2021

“(CNN) Texas and 13 other Republican-led states have filed a long shot bid with the Supreme Court asking the justices to allow the states to defend a controversial Trump-era rule that makes it more difficult for immigrants to obtain legal status if they use certain public benefits, such as Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers.

The so-called “public charge” rule is currently blocked while the Biden administration completes a review process and decides what the new regulation will be.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court agreed to dismiss a pending challenge to the rule at the request of the Biden administration because the government changed its position in the case after the election.”

There is something drastically wrong in the United States when its federal government can use its taxing powers to confiscate the property of American citizens [a working person’s earned wages], and redistribute said revenue to finance the economic needs of millions of foreigners who have flooded across America’s borders, when the Constitution of the United States commands the federal government to “repel invasions”, and limits federal taxes raised to promote the “general welfare” of the United States and HER citizens.

The leadership which now controls the Democrat Party, want elderly American citizens, who were forced to pay into Medicare all their lives, to surrender and share their Medicare Trust fund with millions of foreigners who have invaded America’s borders. LINK

Prolly the same states that claimed election fraud. No chance at SCOTUS.

Try again in 2024.

Doesn’t look like Manchin is going for that.

He suggested the package could be paid for by boosting the corporate rate to 25% and closing tax loophole

Yeah, but if it’s spent so mega Corporations can reap record profits, it’s all good.

All those that believe this is a good idea should be taxed at 100% until this financial obligation is paid…and then…maybe…they’ll think this is not such a good idea? If not, they’re the ones who paid and then they should all get a virtue badge of honor.

What are you talking about? How is having an open border good for poor Americans?

Talking about “rules”, I can’t seem to put my finger on those parts of the Constitution delegating power to our federal government to confiscate the property of American citizens [a working person’s earned wages], and redistribute said revenue to finance the economic needs of millions of foreigners who have flooded across America’s borders, when the Constitution of the United States commands the federal government to “repel invasions”, and limits federal taxes raised to promote the “general welfare” of the United States and HER citizens.

“If the Constitution was ratified under the belief, sedulously propagated on all sides that such protection was afforded, would it not now be a fraud upon the whole people to give a different construction to its powers?”
