About darned time!

LEGAL immigrants are supposed to come here with a sponsor.

The US taxpayer is NOT that sponsor

Why did it take 2.5 years to do this. AND do not tell me that it was because Congress was holding him up. This should have been day one shiite.

Let me guess. Trump is now Ivan the Terrible, Hitler and Pol Pot all rolled into one orange-haired, small-handed bundle of hate? What’s CNN saying?

Mr. Trump, in his new directive, said a 1996 law on the subject is plenty tough, but the government has never actually followed through on what Congress wrote.

1996 law. So unenforced/ignored with a wink-and-nod from previous administrations

Best news of the week.

I would also add that just showing evidence of employment shouldn't be in and of itself sufficient. There should be evidence that the job pays enough to support the immigrant and his/her family. An immigrant with 5-10 kids working for minimum wage will still be on the dole and a net liability for the US, no matter how hard-working he may be.

This is such good news. Hope this bankrupts Catholic Charities, which is anything but Catholic.

How mean-spirited. Just because an American citizen wants to encourage immigration, and even makes himself financially responsible for a particular immigrant, the government now is demanding that he actually pay money on which he already paid taxes, in order to reimburse the moneys paid by the government with his taxes for the welfare of that same immigrant. This is cruel. And because it hasn’t been done in a long time, it’s unusual. And therefore, it’s fascism on a stick with chili sauce poured all over it. Trump should be ashamed of himself for penalizing immigrant sponsors by making them live up to the obligation they selflessly took on themselves. Shame shame shame shame shame shame shame./s

Snippet under GMA anchors this AM stated that California is expanding Medicaid to “eligible adults who are here illegally”.

Seems like a total contradiction in terms to me.
