What does the word "public burden" stand for in America?

The term "public burden" has long existed in American immigration law, but according to the relevant provisions of public burden. This is a means to ensure that citizens who have obtained permanent residency in the United States can support themselves. However, this has also caused many difficulties in applying for new immigrants, which reflects the exclusive attitude of the United States towards low-income immigrants.

The public burden probably refers to those who live on the welfare of the American government, which is a drag on American public facilities and public property, which will affect the interests of most American taxpayers and hinder the macro-performance of the American economy. This is not allowed by the Trump administration.

Manhattan Community Service Director of Huace Parliament said that the public burden law specifically attacks low-income families, immigrant families and ethnic minority communities. Huace will oppose the law, but at the same time, it should also educate the community about what is the public burden and which ethnic groups will be affected.

According to the information provided by the US Immigration Service, these "new" projects will have an impact on the green card application:

(1) federal social security subsidy

(2)? Welfare assistance to poor families (TANF)

(3)? White card, Medicaid (Medicaid)

For "non-citizens under 2 1 year old and pregnant women during pregnancy and within 60 days after pregnancy", receiving Medicaid will not be regarded as "public burden".

(4) Food stamps

(5) Housing certificate

(6) National and state government cash subsidy programs

(7) Long-term care that depends on government expenditure, such as nursing homes.

While receiving benefits, they are afraid of becoming "public fees", which will affect the green card application. As the federal government plans to relax the standard of public fees, which will take effect in June 65438 +654381October+May, it has triggered a panic among immigrants, and many people have given up their welfare. On August 29th, local time, Chinese Planning Association (CPC) and new york Legal Aid Center (NYLAG) jointly appealed that the new regulations will only affect a small number of ethnic groups who are about to apply for green cards, and will not affect green card holders or citizens. Call on people not to panic and not to give up their interests at will.
