And here it is. It took a while, but the real truth is out now: Neither Trump, nor the right want want even legal immigration.
Trump administration announces rule that could limit legal immigrationThe Trump administration announced a new rule on Monday that could curb legal immigration by limiting who is allowed into the United States based on whether they are "self-sufficient," according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has changed the scope of the so-called public charge rule to now "incorporate consideration of more kinds of public benefits received," according to a news release from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The rule includes individuals "who receives one or more designated public benefits for more than 12 months, in the aggregate, within any 36-month period (such that, for instance, receipt of two benefits in one month counts as two months)," the release said.
Certain forms of Medicaid, Social Security Income and Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) -- or food stamps -- are all considered as public benefits under the new rule, among other things.
