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 certainly don't expect little Sweden to be a leader in world affairs. What is laughable is that the Swedes themselves are always going on about their moral superiority over the rest of the world. Well, if you are a non-factor in world affairs, it is a piece of cake to never dirty your hands. The US does all the work and they reap the benefits... while never admitting to it.
The Swedes have enjoyed their good fortune for so long that they have become deluded about its cause and what it takes to maintain it.
I agree that 1,000 years ago the Swedes were fighters--the most ruthless. You say 400 yrs ago they were something as well. I am judging them by the past 100 yrs. They have gone to hell and depend on others to fight for them. They are weak and brainwashed into being that way by their government.
Now the Finns on the other hand are fighters. Being under Soviet threat for decades, they know that bullies will take your stuff if you don't fight. Same for the FSU Baltic Republics.
