The Supreme Court said Monday it will allow the Trump administration to begin enforcing a controversial new policy making it harder for low-income legal immigrants to obtain green cards or visas.
The administration's new, expanded “public charge” rule, which makes it easier for officials to bar immigrants who use, or are deemed likely to use, non-cash government benefits such as Medicaid or food stamps, is one of the most consequential policy changes by the Trump administration to date in its efforts to curtail legal immigration. (Under previous practice, the public charge rule was only applied to immigrants who were considered likely to receive cash welfare payments.)

Just Do It!!
The did do it!
Well now that the teet is drying up perhaps at least the laziest ones will think twice before risking their lives to cross the desert.
About time. Turn off the tap and they’ll stop coming.
Allowing immediate enforcement is a very good sign that ultimately they will rule in Trump’s favor.
New rule...lol...try from the 1800’s
This is not a new policy. No immigrants were admitted at Ellis Island unless they could prove they would not become a “public charge.”. When my ancestors arrived in Galveston in 1868, they had to have proof that they had purchased land in Texas before they could disembark. This would be a far better country had we stuck to those sensible policies.
It may be a controversial new policy, but it is an old LAW going back decades.
We just did not have a President that sided with the citizens and the rule of law.
We won this one, It’s over!
How does this affect illegals? Especially in places like California.
The ones with fake IDs will no longer get bennies.
I was required to personally guarantee my wife would not become a Public Charge for 10 years when we got her a green card
I am hoping as a side effect it shuts down the “visa lottery” system.
How are Medicaid and Food Stamps “non cash”?
L
Winning!
I too see it as a good move.
"The public charge concept was first established by Congress in 1882 in order to allow the U.S. government to deny a U.S. visa to anyone who 'is likely at any time to become a public charge' . . . "
Only someone with advanced Trump Derangement Syndrome would refer to following an 1882 law as "a controversial new policy". The globalist left is both disgusting and shockingly dishonest.
These bloodsuckers have already stated on camera, they’ll merely “wait till Trump is out of office and return to live in US again!”
They already know, or have been told, it’s only Trump keeping them out.
Wonder where they hear that? Hummmmm? /sarc
