Trump tells supporters he wants a "new" immigrant law that has actually been enacted since 1996

In a rally in Iowa today, Donald Trump said it is time for "new" immigration rules forbidding immigrants from getting welfare for at least five years.

The thing is, that law has already existed since 1996. According to The Hill, Trump said:

“The time has come for new immigration rules which say that those seeking admission into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years.”

On top of that, Trump said his administration would be “putting in legislation to that effect very shortly.”

But the 1996 law called Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, signed into law by Bill Clinton, already does that, prohibiting immigrants from getting any form of federal benefits from five years starting the moment they enter the country.

No wonder Trump doesn't want cameras during Sean Spicer's press briefings anymore. Imagine having to answer questions about that much stupidity on Trump's behalf.
