In his Smarter Plan for Immigrant Welfare bill introduced this month, Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.) proposed spending every cent of government aid only on American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>With 700,000 immigrants sworn in yearly, Grothman said he disagrees with footing the bill for non-citizens and \u201cwhichever country\u201d they came from. The proposed legislation would save an estimated 60 billion taxpayer dollars in its first year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The wall saves money by reducing the number of illegal arms, drugs and immigrants crossing the border, as well as reducing the number of agents needed to patrol the border.
