Democrats Fight to Import Welfare-Dependent Immigrants
Democrats are suing the Trump administration because they seemingly want to continue to import immigrants whom they can ensure will remain dependent on the government and, as a result, remain committed to the Democratic Party.
TL;DR
- Democratic cities and counties, including New York City, are suing the Trump administration.
- The lawsuit aims to block a new immigration rule concerning "public charge".
- The rule requires consideration of welfare program usage (food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance) before granting green cards.
- The policy aims to determine if applicants will contribute to the country or rely on taxpayer-funded assistance.
