DHS Proposes Expanding Public Charge Rule

The Department of Homeland Security proposes a new public charge rule that could make it harder for immigrants to get green cards if theyve used public assistance programs. This rule, announced earlier this week, aims to change the current policy by giving immigration officers more freedom to consider a wider range of benefits when making decisions. The proposal has drawn criticism from healthcare groups and immigrant advocates, who fear it could create confusion and discourage immigrants from seeking necessary aid. Public comments on this proposed rule are expected to open soon. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
