The Trump administration is proposing a new regulation that would make it extremely difficult for many immigrants to come to the US or receive green cards if they're deemed likely to use public benefits like food stamps or Medicaid.
The draft regulation - which was unveiled by the Department of Homeland Security Saturday night and is expected to be formally published in the Federal Register for public comment on Monday - would overhaul how the government evaluates whether a would-be immigrant is "not likely to be a public charge" (a requirement of many visa categories and green card applications).
