Trump admin will make the sponsors of legal immigrants pay for their expenses, not taxpayers, just as it was before. From now on immigration will not be a burden on taxpayers

The order would essentially erect a financial wall around immigration — and it would hurt not only would-be immigrants, but legal immigrants already in the country and the U.S. residents and citizens helping them get here.
You know that brother you brought from Cuba — signed his visa petition, pledged to sponsor him — then sent on his merry way to carve a new life in the United States?
The Trump administration thinks he’s your burden, not that of the American taxpayers, and they’re going to make you, the sponsor, pay for all of his expenses until he can become the ideal self-sufficient immigrant. So long to the public benefits that legal immigrants are now allowed to access. Sponsors now sign an affidavit of support, but it is rarely enforced.
What if the immigrant loses a job and needs to ask for cash assistance? The sponsor would have to provide the help, not the government.
As for immigrants already here, a history of using welfare would be grounds to deny residency or citizenship. Deportation costs would fall on the shoulders of the immigrant or the sponsor.
The White House won’t confirm or deny the existence of the executive order, but the draft is in circulation among administration officials, according to the Post

That is so reasonable and right.
That is how it was in the past.
An immigrant had a sponsor, and all was confirmed yearly, so that immigrant would not “be a public charge”. Those were the words.
Hope this can be put into law again – right away.
And for those who don’t want to understand. Legal process immigration is not the same as invasion.
