(Patriot Command Center) The bill does not describe what is an immigrant, (code word for Illegal Aliens) therefore the Dems will provide federal benefits to Illegal Aliens. Benefits most of you don’t have!
A bill introduced by Democrats in the House and Senate aims to eliminate the current five-year waiting period for immigrants to access federal benefits.
This waiting period, established by legislation in 1996, requires immigrants to wait five years after obtaining their official immigration status before they can access programs like Medicaid and food stamps.
Democrats argue that this waiting period is arbitrary and poses unnecessary barriers for immigrants seeking critical benefits and services.
The bill, known as the LIFT the BAR Act, is led by Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Tony Cardenas, along with Sen. Mazie Hirono.
They believe that removing this waiting period is a crucial step in providing immigrants with immediate access to essential services, such as healthcare and nutrition assistance.
But what benefits are we talking about?

The Marxist (formerly Democrats) are so willing to cut benefits for older adults who have worked all their lives and paid into the sytem; to the veterans who have served our country; and to all citizens of the USA to enrich the invaders. Makes no sense to me!
Could we possibly ask all these sightings of UFO's to be willing to remove ALL DEMONCRATS from our country?
Democrats are from the UFO'S, that is why they are trying to destroy this country. You can tell by the way biteme talks.
UFO? Unbelievably Failed Objective? (lol)
The 5 year waiting period is designed to deny citizenship to would be immigrants that have become a burden to the State. The idea to give them citizenship so they can receive benefits and have the same right as a citizen, is the opposite of the law. State officials and burocrats do not make federal law, Congress does.
True. but the Supreme Court can strike a law down if it is found Unconstitutional, also next is the right for the illegals to vote for the democrat of their choice to keep their benefits.
