Attorney General Becerra Condemns Trump Administration’s Unlawful Healthcare Requirements Restricting Legal Immigration
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today announced that he is co-leading two separate amicus briefs in support of lawsuits challenging the Trump Administration’s revised public charge guidelines and unlawful proclamation imposing new healthcare requirements for most visa applicants. Together, these federal actions would require consular officers to deny entry to prospective immigrants who might, at any point in the future, make minor and temporary use of public programs, and to assess whether prospective immigrants have qualifying health coverage or the ability to pay for their reasonably foreseeable medical care. The first amicus brief was filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Doe v. Trump and the second was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in Make the Road New York v. Pompeo.
“President Trump is so fixated with pursuing anti-immigrant policies that he is blind to the effects they’ll have on the health of our nation and our economy,” said Attorney General Becerra. “Punishing hardworking immigrant families will hurt not only them, but everyone in the communities and states they call home. There’s no place for this type of arbitrary rule in a nation built by immigrants. We’ll continue to fight against these callous efforts every step of the way.”
By vastly expanding the criteria for barring immigrants on the grounds that they are likely to become a “public charge” and imposing new health insurance requirements, the Trump Administration is attempting to unlawfully prevent up to hundreds of thousands of people from obtaining visas each year. In both amicus briefs, the coalitions argue that the Trump Administration’s actions contradict Congress’ longstanding policy of keeping families together. Estimates indicate that as many as 65 percent of recently arrived green card holders would not have been granted a visa under the healthcare proclamation. Many of those individuals would have been eligible for entry as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, such as spouses, children, and parents.

Thanks Lysie for supplying the hot sauce this morning, I usually have to go get my own. You have a great day, hope the weather is good there today.
At library. Wifi chord broken in two pieces. Hmmm?
Amen to all prayers
I saw a few clips of Schiff and others saying that Trump has never stopped being a Russian agent.
Give him the maximum penalty.
Someday historians will praise President Trump for obliterating the credibility of the press, Congress, and our own national intelligence services. Everything bad comes from believing one or more of those groups. #GoldenAge— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) February 22, 2020
You know how to have fun.
Like!
Good morning, NIKK. You are welcome. Clever ways to use ice trays. I’m with you...chocolate.
We had that same problem in California, when the snowpack was low there were drought conditions in thge summer. But I love what our president is doing there! Forcing the state to release water to the farmers. He is so amazing. And he’s really showing that other past presidents have just purposely allowed the country to flounder. Any one of them could have done this. He’s doing so much without the do-nothing Congress.
Is SlaveWay usually busy? Is that why you don’t like going? I remember getting up early in California when I had to hit the stores. The illegals didn’t usually get there before 9. And when they decided to have their little Tommy protest on May 1st, that was a marvelous day. I was able to go all around town, people were polite, it was great shopping. I need to remember that because I take it for granted here, it’s always that way.
