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.

TFS says it's about legal immigrants. So it's more like the guy was already allowed to move in but is now being told not to use the place as his mailing address because she might change her mind and evict him if she feels like it.
Imposing more bureaucratic barriers for legal immigrants is a pointless dick move.

Pointless? It seems to be irritating some people - kinda like a burr under a saddle. Maybe it has points?
