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I said months ago, it's the 21st century, chain migration and visa lottery are outdated. They hurt our economic and they hurt our national security. I said, we need MERIT-BASED.
And you're asking, what about Viktor & Amalija, where's the merit? No merit, right? Believe me, I said that exact thing to Melanie many times. I told her we need much tougher rules. To keep those people -- and people like them -- OUT. But especially, to keep Viktor & Amalija out. Unfortunately I didn't keep Viktor & Amalija out. They beat me. They had a head start, they came in 10 years ago. And I could have been quicker. I absolutely could have been quicker, that's so true. END THE PHONEY RUSSIA WITCH HUNT so I can focus on doing my job!!!!
They think they won. And you think they won. Because they got their citizenship. Trust me, it's not over yet. Because we can still deport them. If they lied on their applications, we'll deport them. And we're checking a lot of applications, deporting a lot of people that lied. We call it DENATURALIZATION. We're building the Wall. With a big beautiful door. And a big beautiful guy -- or a sexy lady -- wearing big beautiful boots. Kicking people out!!!
