The Daily Mail reports that "Trump’s new restrictive green card policy starts TODAY as immigrants brace for applications to be denied." Basically, the new policy reverses a relaxation of rules under Biden that allowed for green cards to be issued to aliens who needed public assistance.
According to the new rule from USCIS, applicants will be screened to see if they are deemed a 'public charge,' in essence, whether the migrants have sufficient means to support themselves, or whether they will need taxpayer-funded assistance.
In 2022, under former President Joe Biden, USCIS, a sub-agency of the Department of Homeland Security, lowered the scrutiny on migrants' financial state and potential draw on social benefits during the application process, making it easier for cash-strapped individuals to gain permanent residence.
"Immigration officials can consider whether the migrants will need SNAP food benefits, Medicaid, housing assistance or many other public subsidies," as well as "look at the family members of applicants to see what benefits they are receiving before coming to a conclusion on whether to approve the green card applications."
You might think this a good thing, but not the traitorous Democrats. For instance, the article notes, "[c]ritics of the rule have expressed concerns that it may have a chilling effect on migrant applications for social benefits in the US." Good. Maybe my taxes will go down. Also, Democrats are afraid of losing the grift associated with providing welfare to immigrants:
A coalition of 22 states and DC, including California and New York, sued the Trump administration this week in an effort to halt the change.
The coalition has argued they would lose billions in federal funding should migrants unenroll from assistance programs over fears of how they could impact their green card applications.
Oh no.
Of course, it is all well and good to reduce immigration, but at some point we will have to send most of them back. The YouTube channel, Basic Logic, has some thoughts on that:
