Trump administration boosts ability to deny green cards to immigrants using welfare programs


snip~
The Trump administration on Monday issued a long-awaited rule strengthening the ability of federal officials to deny green cards to immigrants deemed likely to rely on government aid.

Officials described the so-called "public charge" rule as a way to ensure those granted permanent residency are self-sufficient -- and protect taxpayers in the process.

"The principle driving it is an old American value, and that's self-sufficiency," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News in an interview. "It's a core principle -- the American Dream itself -- and it's one of the things that distinguishes us, and it's central to the legal history in the U.S. back into the 1800s."

And the House of Representatives continues to do nothing helpful. The only good thing that Pelosi can say is that Paul Ryan was useless also.
