Judge: New Public Charge Rule ‘Repugnant to the American Dream’

In the other major immigration ruling Friday, District Court Judge George Daniels issued a temporary nationwide injunction blocking the administration from enforcing new rules, set to take effect October 15, that would make it harder for immigrants to get green cards if officials determined they would likely use government benefits including Medicaid, food stamps, welfare or public housing vouchers.

“Defendants do not articulate why they are changing the public charge definition, why this new definition is needed now, or why the definition set forth in the rule — which has absolutely no support in the history of U.S. i*********n l*w — is reasonable,” he wrote. “The rule is simply a new agency policy of exclusion in search of a justification. It is repugnant to the American Dream of the opportunity for prosperity and success through hard work and upward mobility. Immigrants have always come to this country seeking a better life for themselves and their posterity. With or without help, most succeed."

In a separate ruling on Friday, a district court judge in San Francisco reportedly said the administration could not enforce the public charge rule within the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, defended the new rule. "An objective judiciary will see that this rule lies squarely within long-held existing law," Cuccinelli said on Twitter. "The public charge regulation defines this law to ensure those seeking to come or stay in the U.S. can successfully support themselves financially and will not rely on public benefits as they seek opportunity here."

The illegal issuing of laws will be stopped very soon. As per the Constitution, ONLY Congress can make laws.
Your D-rats are breaking lots of laws.

Not to be derisive to a judge..I'm positive that he is more familiar with the law than myself..

But how does "Medicaid, food stamps, welfare or public housing vouchers" equate to “ the American Dream of the opportunity for prosperity and success through hard work and upward mobility"?

First, the argument is about changing/not changing the law.. I see it as an obvious changing of the law.

While the President as a great deal of leeway in how to administer the law, he can not legally change the law with a EO.

But the major question is; who and how makes the call.. that a person is likely to use any or all of those safety net programs?

It seems that whoever that person would be could simply say NO, without proof of any kind.. how would the argument be made for or against?

This is simply an easy way to refuse immigrants entry to our nation..

It is not in any way a method to cut costs for those programs..

and yes, past immigrants have made it without these programs, they nearly all showed up as Broke and unsk**led. were declared as intent on ruining our country, but now that we have the programs, excluding them access must be only based on much more then opinion or attempt to exclude particular ethnicity..
