Trump administration revives rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits

The Trump administration is reviving a 'public charge' rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits like food stamps and Medicaid. The policy, first implemented in 2020 under President Donald Trump and later reversed by President Joe Biden, requires green card applicants to demonstrate self-sufficiency. Critics argue it acts as a 'wealth test' and may deter immigrants from accessing essential services.
