The government makes that perfectly clear so the sponsor knows exactly what their obligations are.
This is not so much a new policy from the Trump administration and they are certainly not making new laws on their own.
The administration's stance is simply a reflection on and enforcement of existing law.
Enforcement of this is long overdue.
Is it:
“This is not so much a new policy from the Trump administration and they are certainly not making new laws on their own.”
Or is it:
This is not a new policy from the Trump administration.
?
This should also help shut down the globalist NGOs importing migrants like Amnesty International, Catholic Relief Services, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, etc....
And I am considering sponsoring a Venezuelan couple that has tried to work with the State Department for years, to stay here. Was brutally prosecuted under the old regime.
Went to the embassy for their last formal interview, and found out that their entire process was canceled when the Trump admin stopped all Venezuelans from coming and completing their application for citizenship.
Don’t necessarily disagree with halting new citizenship requests, but the State Dept is broken, and has been broken for decades.
I would further require evidence from the sponsor that they have the money to support the immigrant, supported by bond if unpaid.
We need to stop ALL immigration for at least 25 years.
I have multiple people in my life who were sponsored. Wives, mostly. Everyone had to sign that they had full responsibility for the person until they had something like ten years of gainful employment in, otherwise it was for life.
These illegals are all getting what legal immigrants and citizens can’t.
Also, if legal immigrants are getting any government benefits, of course the sponsor must pay that. That was already known.
This is the LAW!
Ron Paul wanted this... No freebies, sponsors pay up and sponsor or they starve or go back home.
“American citizens who sponsor migrants that end up using taxpayer-funded benefits like food stamps or housing assistance will be held financially liable and could even face criminal charges, according to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. “
That’s how it was when I came over in 1962.
This will go a long way in reducing immigration sponsorship abuse that pushes the financial costs onto taxpayers.
It’s about frikking time, I had to Guarantee with my incomke and assets for 10 years that my wife would NOT be a Public Burden.
Now make a BRAVE MOVE and Declare the Public Employee’s as a whole in every sanctuary State are by Definition the Sponsors LEGALLY for Every Illegal Alien in their State.
