WASHINGTON
— The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming
weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens
or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public
welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of
the plan told NBC News.
The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part
of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number
of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year.
Details of the rulemaking proposal are still being finalized,
but based on a recent draft seen last week and described to NBC News,
immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever used or whose
household members have ever used Obamacare, children's health insurance,
food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from obtaining legal
status in the U.S.
Immigration lawyers and advocates and public health researchers
say it would be the biggest change to the legal immigration system in
decades and estimate that more than 20 million immigrants could be
affected. They say it would fall particularly hard on immigrants working
jobs that don't pay enough to support their families.

This doesn't make sense. I thought immigrants are Magic(TM) and
they supercharge our economy. If 20 million of them are so poor they
go on welfare, how can this be? Something doesn't smell right.
