THE END OF THE FREE RIDE: Congress faces a demand to shut off the magnet.There is a fundamental economic truth that politicians have ignored for decades: You can have a generous welfare state, or you can have open borders, but you cannot have both. The image of Speaker Mike Johnson and his team navigating the halls of Congress represents the current battle to restore a basic principle of governance: The benefits of American citizenship should belong exclusively to American citizens.The demand to ban all taxpayer-funded benefits for non-citizens is not about cruelty; it is about survival. For years, the promise of free healthcare, housing vouchers, and loaded debit cards has acted as a global billboard inviting the world to cross our border illegally. By cutting off this financial spigot, Congress wouldn't just be saving billions of dollars; they would be dismantling the primary incentive for illegal immigration. If the free ride ends, the crisis ends.This is a question of priority. Every dollar spent on a non-citizen is a dollar that cannot be spent on a homeless veteran, a struggling senior, or a crumbling bridge in Ohio. The American taxpayer is the most generous on earth, but they are tired of being treated like an ATM for the rest of the world.The question is simple: Do you believe tax dollars should be reserved for the people who pay them?#TheMaximusBreakdown #MikeJohnson #Congress #TaxpayerRights #BorderCrisis
