"“The Trump Administration’s thinly veiled efforts to only allow those who meet their narrow ethnic, racial and economic criteria to gain a path to citizenship.."

Do the rules specify which 'races' are subject? Or, as more likely, does the rule apply to legal or illegal immigrants of any 'race'?

“narrow”, huh?

My father sponsored his cousins who had narrowly escaped concentration camps in Budapest. If they became public charges, we would have been financially screwed, as he wasn’t doing that well financially at the time. But he didn’t expect them too, and they didn’t.

Tell me of a country that will accept derelict US citizens likely to go on the dole as immigrants, hmmm? There are NONE.

With the 2d Circuit Court of Appeals soon to be flipped, she doesn’t have much of a chance.

The normal Democrat mantra:

This is another enemy of America walking lock step and creating their own narrative for their mindless to follow. Do we need your ‘SKILLS” not do we need more blacks or browns.

What else would you expect from a rabble rousing race baiting hate monger "woman of color" named "Letitia"?

Although for a "woman of color" it seems she has worked overtime to have "white" straightened hair and with Caucasian coloring . Isn't she proud of her heritage? Why does she want to look more "white"?

Most pictures of her show her yapping out of that big pie hole. In fact most pictures of her show her angry and mouthing off.

".... She has no skin in the game...."

Yeah, she does. She hates Trump. :-)

One of her stated goals as NY AG was to bring down Trump.

She'll use every asset in the AG's office to accomplish that goal.

"New York joined Vermont and Connecticut Tuesday in filing a lawsuit to block the Trump administration’s attempt to crack down on immigrants who rely on public services.

I suspect these and other states that join in are panicking over loss of federal dollars used to subsidize illegals.

Not U.S. Citizens nor those from anywhere else.

ObaMao was famous for redefining rules with EOs. Trump is doing nothing more than reestablishing longstanding policy that public charges don't get green cards.

We have a more than ample supply of home-grown slackards. We need not be importing any.

Isn’t a green card necessary for an immigrant to legally get a US job?

If they are here legally, we would want them to be able to work, in general, IMO.

Immigrants shouldn’t be able to get welfare benefits, IMO.

Refugees can get welfare benefits under the Refugee Convention we are still bound to.

Refugees have a general right to seek gainful employment under the Convention.

White, black, green or purple; it doesn’t matter. All Communists are baby killers.
