US Government Reactivates 'Public Charge' Rule for Green Card Applicants
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
MIAMI — The Donald Trump administration is reactivating a rule that could deny permanent residency to immigrants who use public assistance, including food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and others. The policy, known as 'public charge,' appeared on Thursday in the Federal Register and will be formally published on July 20. This policy was first implemented in February 2020 as part of President Donald Trump's measures to limit legal immigration during his first term but was reversed after Joe Biden took office. Its return comes as the Republican government enforces a hardline policy to curb both irregular and legal immigration, amid rising costs of healthcare and food.
