In January, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to lift a nationwide injunction on the proposal while the case played out in federal appeals court. Then in April, the Supreme Court denied a request from New York and other states to block the rule during the pandemic, allowing it to take effect.
This is why it is intellectually lazy to call Roberts a "liberal".
No American liberal in 2020 will allow this or vote for this policy. This would go against the very fiber of every liberal's DNA. No liberal would rule this way, especially during a pandemic.
Roberts is at best an institutionalist, at worst an unreliable conservative. He is NOT a liberal.
I’d prefer zero use of benefits,
Someone with in our borders will have to think twice before applying for any public assistance.
Just another step to make illegals uncomfortable living here.
Same here, but baby steps, I guess.
Outstanding!
Yes-Considering the number of people who are and have been abusing the generosity of US taxpayers, it’s time to choke off the limitless gifts.
American workers cannot afford this kind of thing... even IF recipients demonstrated gratitude or any intent of getting off the dole-which is not evident at all!
“...ncluding Medicaid, food stamps, welfare or public housing vouchers.”
But not, apparently ACA subsidies, tax-subsidized middle-income affordable housing, or minority business contracting preferences.
“controversial”
Not to people with some common sense.
I would like to see an amendment to this ruling for American citizens on welfare. Pass a law that if a person received welfare benefits as a child, they cannot receive welfare benefits as an adult.
This will break the cycle of economic slavery put in place by the Democrats to keep them on the ‘plantation’ and voting for them.
Everything in it’s time...”All or nothing” is a fanatic’s wet dream and usually ends up on the “nothing” side of the sheet.
Funny, that sounds like a plus to me.
this will put the left’s knickers in MORE of a twist.
This is a good thing! If all any immigrant, legal or illegal, has to offer our society is their DNA, send ‘em back. We have plenty of ignorant, disease-ridden, low IQ leeches already and they are (unfortunately) citizens. We do not need to add to that burden.
“will begin to retroactively apply its controversial “public charge” rule to immigrants”
Controversial?? you have got to be kidding me..
What is controversial is that it has not being applied and enforced until now.
Trump for the win!
No Free Stuff for wetbacks? Oh Noes!
