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.

Say it again, it's almost as funny watching you hysterically fling shit as it is watching monkeys do it.

She's way down in Texas. I'll just slap a SpiderMan Band-Aid on it. Maybe some Bactine.

Ooooh, so she's fat too! I mean statistics don't lie and 1/3 of Texans are labeled obese. Given that she birthed you I can't imagine she doesn't stress eat.
