Trump Admin Revives Rule That Could Deny Green Cards to Immigrants Who Use Medicaid
— "Public charge" policy was first implemented in 2020 but reversed during the Biden administration

The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits that could include food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and others.

The policy, known as "public charge," appeared on Thursday in the Federal Register. It will be formally published on July 20 and take effect Sept. 18. Under the policy, applicants for green cards have to show they wouldn't be burdens to the country or "public charges."

The policy was first implemented in February 2020 as one of President Donald Trump's moves to limit legal immigration during his first administration, but it was reversed after Democratic President Joe Biden came to power.

Should be a law ... a real law passed by Congress that can't be undone by an Executive Order or a rogue lower-court judge.

Why are immigrants receiving Medicaid in the first place?  Why not simply stop giving free shit to foreign nationals?  This isn't difficult.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
