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.

    > Women and children, I can be more lenient with. I kind of expect the male children to grow up, go home, and fight for their country.

    That's sexist. Women are quite capable.

    Yes, yes, women are capable. Except when they're not. Then, they are as useless as any other candy ass.

    Depends on the fighting. With modern weapon systems, maybe. If it comes down to hand to hand, women will get pounded into the dirt, and then probably raped.
    Men are stronger, faster, and being a warrior is in their DNA. Most women I know who think they are equal fighters have never seen a youngish adult male in real full-on combat mode. It is very fast, fucking scary, and thinking they can match it is laughable.
