Abstract: The Trump administration is developing a rule that would have far-reaching consequences for legal immigrants and their families - those living in the United States as well as prospective immigrants. The expected rule, which could be formally released at any time, could make it more difficult for immigrants to obtain a green card or get their temporary visa extended if they or their dependents - including U.S.-citizen children - use public benefits or tax credits for which they qualify. The draft proposed rule also suggests that the administration may make the use of public benefits by legally present noncitizens grounds for their deportation.
