With “public charge” rewrite, Administration
building a legal wall to help slow migrant flow to America; however, refugees
will still get welfare, by Ann Corcoran, 9/23/18.
The move will affect mainly legal immigrants and their families, since undocumented immigrants are not eligible for most federal benefits.
“We can be choosy about who we allow into the country,” he said. “One of the primary factors ought to be ensuring that the legal immigrants who come in are people who can financially support themselves.”
President
Donald Trump has many avenues to slow the immigration steam roller that is
changing America by changing the people.
Making
it harder for wannabe future ‘new Americans’ to stay, is to require that they
won’t suck off the federal teat in the process of advancing toward a green card
and future citizenship.
Stephen Miller is at it again says
Politico. But
before you get excited, know that refugees and asylees (and a whole bunch of
other categories of legal immigration) are exempt from a proposed rule change.
When
the bill that became the Refugee Act of 1980 was debated in Congress, ol’ Teddy
Kennedy promised that we weren’t simply bringing more impoverished people to
America to place on welfare. He lied!
I
want to know why the supposed humanitarian NGOs (the contractors) presently
being paid by us, the taxpayers, to take care of refugees can’t use their own
money to feed and house the refugees they say they love. After all, they
claim that the refugees quickly find work and become self-sufficient!
Here
is Politico which
obviously is sending a message for Dems and Left-wingers to strongly oppose
(protest!) the proposed rules they claim are straight from the evil brain of
White House aide Stephen Miller. Never mind that controlling immigration was
the primary reason Donald Trump was elected to sit in the Oval Office and
Miller is one of the few who remember the promise!
The
Leftwing media focus on Miller is a classic Saul Alinsky tactic. I
suspect he finds the attacks amusing.
Politico: Immigrants may be denied green cards if they’ve received
benefits
The Trump administration proposed expanding its pre-election crackdown
on immigration by denying green cards to legal immigrants if they have received
government assistance.
Under
the new rule, which the Department of Homeland Security posted online Saturday,
immigrants can be denied so-called “lawful permanent residency” if they’ve
received certain government benefits or if the government anticipates that they
may do so in the future.
The measure represents the latest move by White House aide Stephen
Miller to reduce drastically all immigration to the U.S., both legal and
illegal, and reflects his strong conviction that doing so will improve
congressional Republicans’ chances in the midterm elections. The benefit programs targeted
include the the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps),
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (welfare), Medicaid, and Medicare Part
D (prescription drug subsidies).
The regulation could force millions of low-income families to choose
between government assistance and permanent settlement in the United States. Advocates fear it could ultimately
restrict children’s access to food and health care.
The proposed regulation would provide a more robust enforcement
mechanism for longstanding statutory boilerplate that bars immigrants “likely
to become a public charge.”
Trump’s fatal error in the end could be
his failure to put people like Von Spakovsky in his administration so loyal
aides like Miller would not be virtually alone in fighting the deep state.
Roughly one million people become lawful permanent residents each year — a generous allotment, according
to Hans von Spakovsky, a senior fellow with the conservative Heritage
Foundation.
Approximately
one-third of the federal budget goes to health insurance subsidies and social
safety net programs, according to the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy
Priorities — an expenditure the Trump administration and Republicans seek to
reduce.
A range of activists spent months preparing for the rollout of the
proposed regulation and plan to wage an opposition campaign. The
proposal will now be subject to a public comment period, an opportunity for
opponents to mount an assault on the plan.
A
coalition led by the National Immigration Law Center and the D.C.-based
anti-poverty Center for Law and Social Policy will push for a wide range of
businesses, organizations and government officials to submit comments.
Refugees,
Asylees, Cuban/Haitians, Special Immigrant Visa holders, those here through the
ridiculous ‘temporary protected status’ program, more! are all exempt!
The prospective regulation wouldn’t apply to all immigrants. Refugees
and asylees are exempt, as are certain victims of domestic violence and
children who qualify for “special immigrant juvenile status,” which is
available to minors who were abused, neglected or abandoned by a parent.
Foreigners who apply for “temporary protected status” to remain in the
U.S. after a natural disaster or armed conflict in their home countries will
also be exempt, so
long as they received a blanket waiver to absolve them of any public charge
considerations.
See Jim Simpson’s chart on
how many refugees and others have been approved as ‘new Americans’ in the last
ten years and know that all of these will be exempt!
The
total number of refugees admitted from 2008 to 2018 is 1.7 million. This
includes all sources.
It isn’t clear if the UAC ‘children’
will continue to receive welfare but I suspect they will.
Continue here if you wish. Politico, through its long report, is helping
the Left figure out who opposes the draft measure and offering a blueprint on
how best to fight it including stalling it by overwhelming the system with
thousands and thousands of comments.
If
you need more proof than what Politico says,
here is a screenshot of a portion of the draft regulations exempting refugees and asylees.
This is from page 85 but more exemptions are on page 86,87,88, and 89! See
