Trump Administration Releases New Rule That Makes It Easier for the Government to Reject Green Card Requests
It's based on whether you'll be a net drain on the country's resources, so obviously this is both irrational and racist.
The Trump administration on Monday released the final version of a controversial rule that dramatically increases the government's ability to reject green cards for people who are deemed likely to depend on government aid such as food stamps, housing assistance and Medicaid.
The new "public charge" rule would link a subject's immigration status to their income and their use of certain public programs.
Published in the Federal Register, the rule will officially be released Wednesday and go into effect 60 days later.
Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, announced the rule at a press briefing at the White House on Monday morning.
The administration has portrayed the rule as a way to promote sufficiency and independence among immigrants.
"We certainly expect people of any income to be able to stand on their own two feet," Cuccinelli said. "A poor person can prepare to be self-sufficient... so let's not look at that as the be all end all."
Self-sufficient? Standing on one's own two feet?!
All those words are missing is a white hood and a noose.
