Trump administration will begin denying green cards to aliens who would be dependent on government welfare for extended periods from Monday after the Supreme Court lifted a state injunction on its “public charge” rule in Illinois, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Saturday.
Based on the rule, which was first introduced on Aug. 14 last year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will determine an alien as inadmissible to the country or ineligible for permanent residency if they are likely to become a public charge at any time in the future.
At the same time, the rule will also give USCIS the authority to require a nonimmigrant who is seeking extension of nonimmigrant stay or change of nonimmigrant status to demonstrate that they have not received public benefits over a designated threshold since obtaining the nonimmigrant status they seek to extend or change.
A public charge refers to an individual who is likely to become primarily dependent on the government for subsistence through assistance such as food stamps or Medicaid. The rule, also known as the Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds final rule, will consider a person a public charge if they receive at least one government benefit for more than 12 months in a three-year period.
“This final rule will protect hardworking American taxpayers, safeguard welfare programs for truly needy Americans, reduce the Federal deficit, and re-establish the fundamental legal principle that newcomers to our society should be financially self-reliant and not dependent on the largess of United States taxpayers,” White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.

I think this Free public schools for illegal alien children should also count against them

Are we now not requiring the posting of a bond as my “Immigrant” friends had to do?

Let’s not pick one or two points of immgration law to enforce, enforce ALL of it.
I signed a Document 15 years ago Guaranteeing My Personal Income and Assets to Insure my Wife would not be a Public Charge for 10 years when she got her Green Card.
Obviously, it's a major strategy of the Democrat Party to import as many people as possible, make them dependent upon welfare, and guarantee that they will vote Democrat. This is how the Democrats assure themselves pro-Democrat voters.
Bingo
When a Japanese company hired me, they were not only required to sign a similar statement, pay me a 10% (or more) wage premium over native Japanese doing similar work, but guarantee my repatriation if they opted not to renew my contract by their choice rather than mine.
The requirements to stay and work for 1 year in Australia are very stringent...and New Zealand is even worse.
