More, and deny benefits to immigrants

Many Republicans support more restrictions on welfare benefits for immigrants, as they believe in prioritizing assistance for American citizens and reducing government spending. This stance can be seen in the Trump administration's public charge rule, which made it more difficult for immigrants to obtain green cards if they used public benefits.

More, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

Many Republicans support reforming the welfare system to supplement, rather than replace, a working income. This aligns with their belief in promoting self-reliance and reducing government dependency. For example, the 1996 welfare reform introduced work requirements for welfare recipients, encouraging them to seek employment.

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

This can be seen in their support for programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Fewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most
