President Trump and his administration are reportedly considering a plan to deny would-be immigrants and deport legal immigrants living in the country who might need public assistance.


The Washington Post obtained two draft executive orders that tightly controls who enters the country and workforce in an attempt to reduce the burden on taxpayers.


It's currently unclear when and if the president will sign the orders but they would extend his limits on immigration following his chaotic executive order banning travel to and from seven majority Muslim countries. While the order was created to protect Americans from terror threats, despite around 1,000 State Department officials saying the ban doesn't make the country safer, the new orders have been drafted in the vein of protecting US workers.
