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.

Here we are circling back around to my position.
The natives don't care in either the north or south. Nobody likes gang rule in the south except the gangs and they are small enough to be eliminated. A huge fraction of the south sees moving north either for themselves or their relatives to be a great idea. One political party in the north is trying to eliminate the concept of borders.
We're talking about the border between north and south Dakota, not east and west Berlin. A handful of criminal gangs and legacy politicians will fight to the death and the military can take care of it. The rest of the population is like "whatevs".
Now there would be no benefit to merging north and south Dakota, but I think there would be financial benefits the population would enjoy to merging N.A. or whatever the annexation of Mexico would be called.
