Trump’s administration is reviving the controversial “public charge” rule, which could penalize immigrants for using government benefits like food stamps or Medicaid when applying for green cards—officially set to take effect July 20. Originally implemented in 2020, it was reversed by Biden but is now back as part of a broader push to tighten immigration policies amid rising living costs. USCIS argues the rule promotes self-reliance and protects taxpayer resources, requiring applicants to prove they won’t become a financial burden. This shift could significantly impact immigrants’ paths to permanent residency.
