The Supreme Court Monday in a 5-4 vote cleared the way for the Trump administration to make it more difficult for immigrants who rely on public assistance to obtain legal status.

The so-called public charge rule, unveiled in August, impacts people who receive most forms of Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers. It was immediately met with opposition from advocates and several states, which argued that the changes would penalize immigrants who rely on temporary assistance from the government and impose costs on the states.The vote split along ideological lines, with the five conservative justices in the majority.

The order was also issued while Chief Justice John Roberts was presiding over the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump in the US Senate across the street from the Supreme Court.A New York judge last fall issued a nationwide injunction blocking the rule. Solicitor General Noel Francisco appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to allow the rule to go into effect while the appeals process played out.

I love how people get mad about this when practically all countries require the same thing. You can’t just immigrate to most countries and live off the welfare and social programs

ILLEAGALSSSSSSSSSSSS

Good

I’m not understanding the outrage. I got my green card when Obama was President and had to prove I could support myself. The sudden outrage at the enforcement of existing rules is laughable.

Thank you. We dont need any more freeloaders here. All the liberals who refuse to work is entirely enough.

Good!

So, Trump's next wife will need to have higher standards?

Ashamed of the unabashed bigotry and callousness that has become the acceptable normal in my Country. For years these cowards waited in the tall grass, acting as if they learned something-now they have a legal pathway to promote their deferred hate. SCOTUS LandOfImmigrants USA

Good it's about time, if you can't come into this Country legally and assimilate then you have no business here.

This reminds me of a visit to Switzerland. Our guide told the group if anyone desires to relocate to their country,, that person was required to open their financial records and show self sufficiency. There would be NO welfare.

Another of what will be decades of 5-4 rulings that restrict immigration, erode voter rights, discriminate vs the poor, non-whites, LGBTQ community...and anyone different from White people who feel “their country” is falling apart. Thanks Mitch for blocking SC nomination in ‘16!

This is what WINNING looks like. Thank you President Trump Expect a Trump2020Landslide
