Fox News
The Department of Homeland Security on Thursday proposed a new “public charge” rule that would dramatically scale back the number of benefits that immigrants can use that would be held against them when applying for permanent residency in the United States, a significant reversal from the Trump administration’s policy.
"Under this proposed rule, we will return to the historical understanding of the term ‘public charge,’ and individuals will not be penalized for choosing to access the health benefits and other supplemental government services available to them," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.
