It’s Happening ‼️ The Donald Trump Administration finalized a rule rescinding Biden regulations, immigrants who have used welfare can now be DENIED Green Cards
“That includes food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and more. The policy was first implemented in early 2020 by President Trump, but it was reversed after Joe Biden became president. It will be formally reinstated”
But don’t let the Democrat Party lie to you, this is how it always should have been, this was our policy before Democrats started the welfare state
‘The public charge ground of inadmissibility’ has existed in US immigration law for over a century under the ‘Immigration and Nationality Act.’ It allows denial of visas or green cards if an applicant is deemed likely to become primarily dependent on the government for support
Trump’s first term simply expanded the rule to consider a broader range of non-cash benefits like Medicaid, food stamps and housing assistance, plus factors like age, health, income, education, and English proficiency
It does not automatically deny anyone for using benefits but now there is more discretion by immigration officers to make these decisions based on all circumstances
