Trump administration may block permanent residency requests from visa recipients who receive government benefits

by Anna Giaritelli | Feb 8, 2018, 3:34 PM

The Department of Homeland Security has drafted a proposal that would negatively affect legal immigrants' chances of attaining permanent residency in the U.S. if he or she used public benefits prior to applying for that status, according to a report published Thursday afternoon.

The proposed new rules would allow U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers to consider an applicant's reliance on taxpayer-funded benefits, including food assistance, government pre-school programs, utility bill subsidies, and health insurance premiums.

The proposal states a person would be deemed a "public charge" if he or she relies on "any government assistance in the form of cash, checks or other forms of money transfers, or instrument and non-cash government assistance in the form of aid, services, or other relief."

Acting DHS press secretary Tyler Houlton said any change to current policy would stay within the law and is only meant to safeguard taxpayers' money.

Good! If you can't live here without being on the dole, then you shouldn't be here.

When immigration advocates rant about the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, they fail to make clear how those entrants were screened for disease and sponsorship/self-support and even criminality.

Why not fix the problem?

Why are they getting gov't money to begin with?

Seems a good way to reduce the granting of permanent residency for lawbreakers.
