Washington Immigration Rules Could Bar New Citizens
The Trump administration weighs stricter public charge rules that would allow DHS to assess if immigrants or their U S born children rely on public benefits such as food assistance and preschool subsidies. The proposed rule broadens the definition of public charge beyond cash aid, potentially limiting permanent residency for those using non cash government aid. The draft departs from 1999 guidelines and cites protecting taxpayers as a basis, with DHS noting enforcement of immigration law. In 2016 about 383000 people who would be affected by stricter standards obtained permanent residency.
