If any of my grandparents had tried to emigrate to the United States in this day and age, they might very well have been denied entry, or the ability to stay.
In August, DHS decided to expand the definition of public charge as it's applied to people emigrating to our country. The definition came to include entry and residence being denied if concern arose that such individuals would depend on the government for their overall support. That concern included the possibility of such folks needing benefits like SNAP . Come to think of it, despite having two college degrees and almost three decades of work experience, I too might be denied a green card, since I have for three years received food stamps.
Today, the Supreme Court, in a 5 - 4 decision, upheld the Trump Administration's plan
According to DHS official Ken Cuccinelli, such proposed rule changes would reinforce the
ideals of self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, ensuring that
immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful here in
America.
New depths in prejudice and condescension ...
