CBS News reports:

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.

    Yup. Exactly. You don't base your general policies on edge conditions.

    More and more it seems that TMB is actually VIM Guy, their style of arguing is exactly the same.

    TMB: "STATEMENT #1!!!"

    smart people: "reasons you are wrong"

    TMB: "STATEMENT. NUMBER. ONE"

    smart people: "we understood your simple words and showed you they are wrong"

    TMB UNHINGED: "STATEMENT 1 MORON!"

    "I see this is going nowhere and will now call you stupid."

      Let me know when you get to the "reasons you are wrong" part.

        You realize posting to SN doesn't set a reminder on your calendar right? Or perhaps your dementia is kicking up and you can't even comprehend structured writing, or you're a borderline insane dyslexic? I'm trying to figure out just HOW you can be so stupid but the answers are pretty out there. I guess that is a good thing, we wouldn't want other people easily falling into whatever cesspit your brain has fallen into.

    Immigration paperwork is filled with "If you ever X, check this box and then please download for I-897-DICKS(b).pdf fill it out and staple it upside down to the left corner of the back of this document"
    DICKS(b) is going to be a form where you spell out the details of X and then maybe there is a free form area where you can explain in your own words. They skim the form at the top and if nothing outright disqualifies you then they'll read your explanation, sign off on it and continue processing your application.
