According to the 1996 law, immigrants are not supposed to be on social programs???

Yes, major U.S. immigration reform in 1996, particularly the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA), created significant restrictions, making many legal immigrants ineligible for federal social programs like welfare (TANF), food stamps, and SSI for several years, with the goal of promoting work over dependency and effectively making them "illegal" for benefit purposes. While not outright "illegal" to be an immigrant, the law banned most non-qualified immigrants from all benefits and imposed a five-year waiting period for qualified immigrants arriving after August 1996, fundamentally changing immigrant access to the social safety net.
So how did so many end up on social programs? Anchor babies, states bypassing federal regulations?

We need to see Trump step up and start pushing to enforce this law

Bro, it can't be news to you that government is unaccountable? Or that it's run by the Left?
Permanent Washington answers to no one. There's only one solution and that is to burn it all down (starve it for cash).

Since when has our government followed the law?
Especially when it comes to spending.
Especially especially when government officials get to pocket some of the funds.

Thanks Legend, I think I found it.
"refugee status" would allow the loophole.
