AGGRESSIVE STEPS YET TO CURB
LEGAL IMMIGRATION. NEW RULES
THAT COULD DENY GREEN CARDS TO
IMMIGRANTS WHO USE
MEDICAID...FOOD
STAMPS...HOUSING VOUCHERS OR
OTHER FORMS OF PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE. Acting Director,
Citizenship and Services"We
certainly expect people of any
income to be able to stand on
their own two feet. And so if
people are not able to be
self-sufficient then this
negative factor is going to
bear heavily against them."THE
CHANGES TAKE EFFECT IN MID-
OCTOBER. ANOTHER NEW
REGULATION WOULD BAR MIGRANTS
FROM ENTERING THE U.S. IF THEY
ARE FOUND LIKELY TO NEED
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. EDUCATION
AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME WILL ALSO
BE FACTORS TO GET LEGAL
STATUS. IMMIGRATION EXPERTS
BLASTING THAT. Sot/Dr.
Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, The
LBJ School of Public
Affairs/Univ. of TX"My problem
is there is this love affair
with high skilled immigrants -
but we need low skilled
immigrants as well - at the
end of the day who is in the
back of the house at
restaurants and the hotels."

a cold heart..I just feel like

TO STAY...CRITICS SAY THESE
NEW LIMITS ON PUBLIC
