The US wants legal immigrants who will be self-sufficient, it’s the American way. “Progressives” have a different definition of what is “the American Way”. (Rick McKee)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Trump Administration implemented a public charge restriction on immigration. If the US government felt that someone seeking to immigrate would take advantage of assistance funding, they could be denied immigration.<\/p>\n

Democrats and other “progressive” groups opposed this move. They pushed this to the court system and managed to get trial judges to halt the government from enforcing this policy. The “progressive” justices wanted to support the block. The conservative justices argued against using wide-ranging injunctions for the whole nation when such was outside of their lane.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n

While a “public charge” inadmissibility standard has long been part of U.S. immigration law, it had not been formally defined by statute. The rule, announced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in August, defines a “public charge” as an immigrant who received one or more designated benefits for more than 12 months within a 36-month period.<\/p>\n

“The principle driving it is an old American value, and that’s self-sufficiency,” USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli told Fox News in an interview last year. “It’s a core principle — the American Dream itself — and it’s one of the things that distinguishes us, and it’s central to the legal history in the U.S. back into the 1800s.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Those benefits that would be designated included Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), as well as most forms of Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The rule expands the number of benefits that can be considered from interim guidance issued in 1999.<\/p>\n

The public charge rule has faced fierce opposition from immigrant activists, as well as many Democrats — who have opposed measures to limit welfare for immigrants, while also calling for the extension of various forms of government aid to illegal immigrants as well.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
