Immigrants were detained and sent back home at Ellis Island, too, for being a "public charge."

ELLIS ISLAND HISTORY - ARRIVAL


Despite the island's reputation as an "Island of Tears", the vast majority of immigrants were treated courteously and respectfully, and were free to begin their new lives in America after only a few short hours on Ellis Island. Only two percent of the arriving immigrants were excluded from entry. The two main reasons why an immigrant would be excluded were if a doctor diagnosed that the immigrant had a contagious disease that would endanger the public health or if a legal inspector thought the immigrant was likely to become a public charge or an illegal contract laborer.

The New Policy Is Heaven Sent. 80% of current refugees are on public assistance. Most of those from Mexico and Central American end up of public assistance. We don’t need people with not skills who become a public charge. That’s a recipe for disaster and we’ve been living under it for decades.

The Social Security office near me is always crowded with Indians signing their parents up for checks. They never paid a dime into the program and are draining the system before I will have the chance to collect, and I have paid in for 40 years.

Does anyone understand why all these leaks? Is this purposeful? I thought Trump disliked leaks!

sorry but i certainly dont know

leaks can be because there’s a leaker in the house (who DJT will eventually identify and probably Fire)

leaks can also occur because the admin is testing the political waters, reaction on a proposed course of action...

this leak could, i think, maybe be either...
