January 27, 2017 By FAIR Gov't Relations Team 2 Comments
President Donald Trump has issued several Executive Orders and Memos this week regarding immigration – below is our summary of the draft order regarding “Protecting Taxpayer Resources by Ensuring Our Immigration Law Promote Accountability and Responsibility”
Recognizes that our immigration laws are designed to protect the American taxpayers and promote immigrant self-sufficiency.
Under INA 212(a)(4) an alien is supposed to be inadmissible if he is likely to become a public charge. Despite this clear statute, it was previously never enforced.
The Trump administration’s policy is to deny admission to an alien who is likely to become a public charge; identify and remove those who became public charges; and seek reimbursement for costs of federal mean-tested public benefits from immigrant’s sponsors.
