New Executive Order on Immigration?

[JayJayH 546]

Seems like a new EO is in the works, this time targeting "public charge" immigrants.

The text itself seems incredibly broad, as it could (or could not) include LPRs whose households received public benefits of any sort - Even retroactively.

 

The rest looks more like an attempt to enforce current laws (like sponsorship reimbursement).

 

Thoughts?

• Direct various federal agencies to more strictly identify and exclude potential immigrants likely to need certain types of public aid and deport those already in the United States who have had to rely on social services help.

???????

 

The rest of it just seems to be a repeat of what we all already know.

Too much backtracking would be invoked to actually be effective. I doubt it'll accomplish much.

Why have laws if they are not enforced?

This draft has been out for about a week, my thoughts on why it wasn't signed was just all the turbulence with the first immigration EO. We'll see.

'More than 70 percent of these children are also U.S. citizens, eligible for a full slate of social service benefits as any other child in a family with a similar income. And immigrant children are more likely than others to live in low-income families. As many of those children are minors, they cannot simply be given control of the federal food or cash aid for which they qualify. The benefits have to be controlled by their parents, immigrants who are the heads of their households.'

 

I touched on this in another thread.  I'm HOH for my daughters Medicaid and food stamps.  Someone said that they don't believe that it'd count for this EO but it is very scary.

Her father is a citizen she would have been one anyway.  As I said I don't receive any form myself.  Only her and her father did when we were in a tight spot after his job downsized

I wasn't referring to you, just to the idea of anchor baby parents in general.
