Blocks federal money for a rule affecting immigrants' access to aid
This bill would stop the government from using federal money to carry out a rule called "Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility." Supporters of the bill argue this rule could impede immigrants' and their families' access to essential services like food, medical care, and housing. If passed, the bill would prevent the rule from being enforced using federal funds, aiming to prevent restrictions on access to these services.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security's "Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility" rule can be carried out using federal funds. If this bill becomes law, no federal funds would be allowed for any part of this rule, including its enforcement or related policies, for any government budget year.
