A new federal proposal that changes the rules for low-income legal immigrants is having a chilling effect nationwide. For the first time, the Trump administration wants to weigh the use of public benefits, such as Medicaid, food stamps and housing vouchers, negatively against an application for U.S. permanent residency or citizenship. We examine this immigration controversy.
The Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs has more information about the public charge rule change.
The federal government is accepting public comment on the changes to the public charge rule until Dec. 10.
A public charge community briefing is scheduled in Seattle, 5:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 19, at Asian Counseling and Referral Service.
