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.
[...] Though its effects could be far-reaching, the proposal to limit citizenship to immigrants who have not used public assistance does not appear to need congressional approval. As the Clinton administration did in 1999, the Trump administration would be redefining the term "public charge," which first emerged in immigration law in the 1800s in order to shield the U.S. from burdening too many immigrants who could not contribute to society.

No there isn't, the loss of rights is a consequence of abolition. To a rational person, these are the same outcome so why are you accusing me of intellectual dishonesty?
I'm pointing out the political position of leftist protesters, are you sure it's my position that is "stupid" and not theirs?

So you are conflating the consequence of a thing, with the thing itself.
Confirmed: you're just not intellectual.

Why don't you put your hand in a fire or hurl yourself off a tall building?
Is this culled from a larger comedy routine you have?
