US revives rule that could deny green cards over public benefit use
A Trump administration policy would let officials weigh use of programs like food stamps when deciding whether to grant green cards to immigrants.
The Trump administration is reviving a rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who have used public benefits, according to a report from the Associated Press.
The policy could take into account assistance such as food stamps when immigration officials assess green card applications, though full details of the rule's scope were not specified in early reporting.
The move marks a return to an approach the administration has pursued previously regarding the use of public assistance programs by immigrants applying for permanent residency in the United States.
