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.

I said Bosnia, not Atlantic. Yugoslavia, not Atlantic. You say, wrong. I asked my guys, look that one up. They call it Adriatic. Sounds like Atlantic, connects to Atlantic, it's not Atlantic, easy to get them mixed up. So, not wrong.
I said Bosnia & Yugoslavia, NATO wars there. You say wrong, you say you were in Yugoslavia -- you call it FRY, short for Yugoslavia -- for NATO, it wasn't war. You were there for an operation. For a campaign. And you won many medals for being a great and very brave soldier. For your heroism -- congratulations, by the way, that's a tremendous quality in a person!! And medals don't mean it was a war, we have so many heroes who, they never fought in a war but they were very brave. But look at your quote. At the page the quote came from. They call it the Bosnian War. And in your quote, they call it war, they say NATO came to fight. So, NATO war in Bosnia. Or, you say Yugoslavia. And can we say Kosovo? Maybe you call it something else. Let's say Kosovo, big war there, NATO fighting there. Lots of wars there and NATO was in them very deeply. So, you have different words for it. Different word for Bosnia, different word for Yugoslavia, different word for war. And possibly I didn't use the 100% exact words. But NATO was there fighting in those places. NATO didn't start the wars. But NATO didn't stop them from happening. And NATO jumped in, they call it escalating. Sounds like you're going up the beautiful escalator in Trump Tower. But it means, bigger war. More great, and very brave soldiers getting wounded. Or dieing. More regular folks wounded & dieing. More property damage. Big expenses for our military. And, possibly, yours. America pays so much so our military will be PERFECTO, so many of these other countries don't. They send their soldiers, like you. That's great. But they need to pay much more.
I'll tell you, we spent A LOT of money on our Stealth Fighter. For our Nighthawk, beautiful name. And for a long time it was supposed to be a secret. Where other countries didn't know we had it. Then somebody LEAKED to our News Media, they printed the news about that one. Not totally secret anymore. But, our enemies didn't have it. Iraq, so many flights, that went PERFECTO. Dumb war. But PERFECTO so far as, they didn't shoot down our Stealth Fighter. Yugoslavia shot it down. And showed it to Russia. So Russia could find out so much more than they knew from the leak. They found out our very expensive secrets and we got NOTHING for it. We could have made a great deal with Russia, they got the information from Yugoslavia and we got ZERO in the deal. Because we went into a dumb war. Not great. Not great at all.
I'm very worried about Montenegro. Little country, used to be part of Original Yugoslavia. Which was much much better than the FRY. They had a very strong military guy, Marshal Tito. They needed a dictator, he was a dictator. And he was magnificent at it. But now Montenegro is its own thing. Montenegro, unfortunately, was allowed to join NATO. They get into a war, America is supposed to come and fight for them. Well, we don't have to come and fight for them. The great thing about treaties is, we can break them. And believe me, I'll break ANY treaty that's not in America's interest. That doesn't put America First. I'll tell you about Montenegro, they're very aggressive. It's unbelievable. I was in Brussels at NATO headquarters. And Duško M. from Montenegro was there. And for no reason, he pushed me. The Fake News Media says I pushed him. And I did push him. But, he pushed me first!! And this is the guy that's saying, protect us with your nuclear.
Korea. I said, Korean War was NATO. You say wrong, not NATO. And I asked my guys, they say that one wasn't NATO. OK, not NATO. That's true. I said something "wrong." But not as wrong as you might think. Because Korean War was MUCH WORSE because of NATO. For other reasons, but because of NATO. USA wouldn't have gone to fight that one if we didn't have NATO. Our Generals would have said, "oh, let the Koreans fight it out among themselves, it's none of our business." And now, we wouldn't be saying Korean War, we would say Korean Civil War. And probably, we wouldn't say North Korea, South Korea. We would just say Korea. As I like to say. I'm trying to put Korea back together. And it's not easy.
I'll tell you, they would have stayed out of Korea. They didn't want to be in 2 wars at once. Which at that time was considered a very big problem. But they had the NATO treaty. And they said, let's get NATO ready. Let's get ready for another very big war in Europe. While we join the nice little war in Korea. So, NATO wasn't there, in Korea. And, NATO didn't start that one. But NATO was a reason that one became such a big deal. You're trying to convince us that NATO stopped many wars in a certain part of the world. Around the North Atlantic. Well, it didn't stop the Korean civil war from starting. And so many countries that were in NATO went into that one. They thought they were OK to get into the war in Korea because NATO had their back in Europe. Nobody bombing London -- except the Irish. Nobody bombing Paris. Nobody bombing Brussels. Korea, lots of bombing. Terrible time for Korea. Because all those other Countries came in, they call it escalating. Sounds nice, it's not nice. NATO countries losing so many brave soldiers. So much equipment. To protect London, Paris, Brussels from getting bombed by Korea. Very dumb!!
And by the way, can we say Libya? That one was a Crooked Hillary number. But also NATO. Libya, not on our Atlantic Ocean. They had Colonel Qaddhafi -- who I rented one of my estates to for a little while. He built a very goofy tent that my neighbors hated -- believe me, it's a long story about that one. Great guy, very strong military guy like you. Who won many medals like you. And he did some things that weren't great -- don't we all? He did the Lockerbie thing, terrible bombing. But, he apologized. He paid A LOT of money. And he said, no more terrorism. No more bombings, no nothing. And he made his Country so great. Which Obama and Crooked Hillary hated, they started a civil war. And NATO came in, they said, "oh look, a war, let's go and fight in that one." And killed Colonel Qaddhafi's kids. Bombed everybody around him, the folks that were trying to protect him. And his enemies stabbed him in the ass and he died (RIP!!!). Because of NATO. Not 100% NATO but they were a big part. And then the ISIS flags went up all over Libya. Great job, NATO!
You said, Russia is not a member of NATO. That's so true. And maybe we'll change that. I had a little talk with President Putin of Russia. But many people say, the purpose of NATO is to be an enemy of Russia. To be a very strong enemy to Russia. And Russia used to be very strong. When they were USSR, very strong. And after that, pretty strong, until 1998. Big big financial crisis in 1998. And did you notice, that's when NATO went wild. Kosovo, Bosnia, Yugoslavia -- the FRY as you call it, Libya. All happening after 1998. Maybe what we need is to have Russia VERY STRONG. To prevent dumb wars!!!
Iraq & Afghanistan. You say, NATO was never in Iraq. Ask your Generals, NATO went there. Not to fight, I didn't say they were there to fight. To teach Iraq -- the soldiers of Iraq -- how to fight much harder. Much more killing, much more property damage. And that's a very official NATO thing. Not just, oh, this Country is in NATO, they make porn there, it's NATO porn. No. It's official NATO business. Same in Afghanistan. NATO is in there, 100% officially. Not fighting, I didn't say fighting! Although, those 3 guys from Czech got killed over there. 3 very brave soldiers from Czech came to teach, they ended up dieing. NATO is in there teaching the soldiers to be better. Teaching them, I assume, to "escalate." Believe me, it's not better for the folks on the other side. Or for regular folks.
