President Trump is signed a memorandum Thursday that will enforce a 23-year-old provision requiring sponsors of legal immigrants in the U.S. to reimburse the government for any social services such as Medicaid or welfare used by the immigrant, Fox News has learned.
The provision was part of the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) and Welfare Reform laws that were signed by then-President Bill Clinton, but despite being enshrined in federal law, the rule has not been enforced.
Under the provision, each future sponsor of an immigrant would need to sign an affidavit that would spell out the financial responsibilities for the sponsored immigrant and create a collection mechanism to recover funds from the sponsor. The Department of Health and Human Services is to collect the data of the sponsors and the immigrants, while the Treasury Department would collect the funds.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(This is actually the law, isn’t it?)
Yes, signed by Bill Clinton...
There should be no sponsorship.
This will really effect many military families.
“Yes, signed by Bill Clinton...*
The Rats protected the rapist, will they tear him apart for this one? Of course not because he didn’t enforce it. But still no reason not to shout loud and wide this is Bill Clinton’s law.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(They are all mostly here already!)
I wouldn’t think they’re ‘sponsored’...
It would be fun to hear the shrieks of anguish if Federal law enforcement sued to recover costs from sponsors of deadbeat immigrants who entered the country after 1996.
Now we need to have a statute that says the clear intent of sanctuary cities is to offer a sponsorship like workaround in violation of our immigration laws that the officials of sanctuary cities are similarly personally liable for the cost of all social services, including public schools, of all illegal aliens that they protect.
You’d never get all that into Law. Enforcing Existing Laws is Brilliant!
Damn, Miller/Gorka/Bannon are still getting it DONE.
Boom, bang, pop..... already law.
Start enforcing it in Sonoma County, CA.
Yes. We had to have a sponser for my husband’s green card. He could not claim welfare. That was in 2000.
Only fair as the guberment demands payback for money spent on Medicare patients
So this law wan’t enforced under Clinton, Bush, and Obama. Shocker.
In 1996, there were no health insurance subsidies under ACA, so it is probable they are excluded.
I wonder if this law applies to all the Somalis brought in by the Lutheran and Catholic churches.....
Brilliant move.
Time to send a bill to Sanctuary City Mayors for their illegals.
