Could the Partial U.S. Government Shutdown Plunge Employees Into Poverty?
The Trump Administration is proposing a new immigration rule that would tighten access to some federal benefits for legal immigrants.
The regulation, outlined by the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday in a 34-page proposal, would take aim at a broad array of benefits for those classified as “public charges,” generally people deemed likely to become government dependents. The changes would broaden the kinds of benefits that could trigger a denial of a green card, which provides permanent residency, and could even affect asylum-seekers, critics and legal experts said.
The proposal would make it more difficult for many legal immigrants to obtain “green cards” by restricting access to Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers, among other benefits, but it would also affect some who are already here. Adnan H. Khan, a board-certified pediatrician based in Redmond Ridge, Wash., family members affected by the proposed rule gathered to protest outside the offices of Congressman Dan Newhouse, R-Wash.
