[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Statement from North America’s Building Trades Unions on Trump’s “Big Billionaire Bill”:

“If enacted, this stands to be the biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country. Simply put, it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 Keystone XL pipeline projects”[/quote]

Why?  What provisions kill jobs?[/quote]

“In 2029, cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would result in the loss of 1.2 million jobs nationwide, equivalent to a 0.8-percentage-point increase in the unemployment rate”

Illegals should not get Medicaid or SNAP, so I'm ok with this.  Medicaid lining the pockets of hospital systems because illegals get it is wrong. [/quote]

Undocumented immigrants are generally not eligible for major federal public benefits like Social Security, Medicaid, and food assistance programs.

-Undocumented immigrants are largely excluded from federal public benefits, including means-tested benefits such as SNAP, regular Medicaid, SSI, and TANF.
-They are also ineligible for health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and cannot purchase unsubsidized health coverage on ACA exchanges.
-Without valid Social Security Numbers (SSN) and work authorization from the Department of Homeland Security, they cannot collect Social Security benefits, even if they've paid Social Security taxes.
-Similarly, undocumented workers are ineligible for unemployment benefits because state unemployment insurance programs are partially federally funded, and federal law prohibits payment to those without legal employment authorization.

Ironically, if they are using a fake SSN, then they are paying into a system they will never benefit from.[/quote]
