Trump administration's new rule targets legal immigrants who use food stamps

Trump administration has ruled that the U.S. could deny green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance, a rule now going into effect. This is one of the country's most aggressive moves to restrict legal immigration.

Acting director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli made the announcement at the White House on Aug. 12. He said the country is looking for legal immigrants who are self-supporting, but this rule does not apply to asylum seekers.

Also, congress has now officially defined the term "public charge," he said.
