Oklahoma Governor Mandates Immigration Checks On Welfare Recipients

This is obviously causing a lot of barking from the moonbats

Gov. Stitt acts on pending immigration bills as lawmakers squabble over ending legislative session

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stit issued an executive order Wednesday mandating immigration enforcement checks of federal welfare applicants. The move comes amid legislative Republican infighting, as lawmakers eye the end of session.

Senate Pro Temp Lonnie Paxton, R-Tuttle, unofficially ended the legislative session for his chamber early, saying senators’ work is largely done.

Still left incomplete: a pair of bills by House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, requiring state agencies to check for the immigration status of federal welfare applicants and report those in the country without permission to immigration authorities.

That left Hilbert frustrated and confused, because just the day before both chambers agreed to end next week.

Republicans can be their own worst enemies. Can you imagine Democrats not forcing through a bill that does the opposite of Stitt’s order?

The ultimate fate of the bills may not matter. Stitt’s executive order directs “the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to utilize the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to verify the legal status of applicants for programs including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Medicaid.”

It’s interesting: if a foreign national has applied for U.S. citizenship and is going through the process here in the U.S. they are barred from taking government programs like welfare, SNAP, Medicaid, and more. They have to prove they can pay for their own lives throughout the process. But, if you are an illegal, (fake) asylum seeker, or visa holder the government seems fine with spending that money, which could have gone to underserved Americans (plus, of course, there’s all the fraud, waste, and graft in these systems).

    • nyTRUMPlover says:

      Migrants are costing American taxPAYERS – apparently you’re not much of a taxPAYER – a fortune. The war will end but the migrant’s massive expense to the taxPAYERS will continue!

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        “There is a broad consensus that immigration reduces overall budget deficits (or the present value of the long-run net fiscal impact of immigration overall, at all levels of government combined, is small but positive). As detailed in a 2017 National Academies of Sciences report and related research, the net effect is positive over the lifetimes of immigrants, their children, and grandchildren.”

        MIGRANS are a nET pOSiTive to the U.S EConomy!!! Mad Donny’s war may end but the impact will be felt for years – higher energy costs, higher overall inflation, shortages, recession, no true allies. We’re a global laughingstock because of your lover.

    Oklahoma does not attract many migrants. It is a poor red state. Even migrants font want to live there

    • Dana says:

      So? Wouldn’t even one illegal receiving welfare benefits to which they are not legally entitled be one too many?

      • Elwood P. Dowd says:

        So? Wouldn’t even one lie about the costs of the trump Grand Ballroom be one too many?

          Another non sequitur from the Rimjob.

        • nyTRUMPlover says:

          What does the cost of the ballroom have to do with illegal immigrants robbing American taxPAYERS blind?

          • Elwood P. Dowd says:

            Your lover is costing us much more than the immigrants, who actually ADD to the U.S. economy. Even “illegal” immigrant workers pay taxes.

          • drowningpuppies says:

            Incorrect again, Rimjob.

            The cost of an illegal to the individual American taxpayer is $1,156/year.
            Total cost per illegal annually is $8,776.

    DOJ Probing $2.6 Billion in Oil Trades Related to Iran War

    The Department of Justice is investigating a series of suspiciously timed trades in the oil market just ahead of major announcements by President Donald Trump and a top Iranian official about the war in Iran, sources told ABC News.

    The DOJ, along with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is probing at least four of these trades where traders made a total of more than $2.6 billion betting that oil prices would drop right before they did.

    So how would they know what King Donny was going to say

    The DOJ would not make such a consequential move without their King’s OK, so it’s likely these are “traitors to trump”!!
