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.

    Of the 7 military interventions we're currently involved in I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all 7 of them are primarily inhabited by brown people.

    Yes, it is a coincidence. What is NOT coincidental is, the presence of black GOLD!

    Syrians and other mediterranean people are more white or olive than brown. Show me some real brown people we're bombing. The common connection is oil, religion, and politics rather than skin color... You're simplifying things and obfuscating the real problem of the MIC militarying to get funds to pay for more industrying, and the pet politicians that take their money and spin agendas at home.
