NBC News: Trump administration to make it harder for low-income immigrants to stay
The Trump administration introduced a new rule Monday making it harder for low-income, legal immigrants who receive food stamps or other forms of taxpayer-funded assistance to stay in the country legally.
The rule would require immigrants applying for a change in immigration status (like a green card) or those seeking to come here to prove that they are unlikely to ever need public assistance, and can bar immigrants who had received assistance above a certain threshold from being approved.
Betcha half a dollar Trump wouldn’t be doing this if most of our legal immigrants were white.
