Trump has imposed new restrictions to legally enter the United States

The Trump administration issued a regulation that could significantly reduce the number of legal immigrants allowed to enter and stay in the United States, facilitating the rejection of the "green card" and visa applications. An additional obstacle for those seeking to travel or emigrate to the United States, as is the case of many young Argentines.

The announcement of yesterday is part of the concerted efforts by the administration to limit legal immigration and take drastic action against illegal immigration and take drastic action against the ## 147 ## ### ############################################################################# 39, illegal immigration, added CNN. The new rule means that many green card and visa applicants may be refused if they have low income or poor education and have used benefits such as the Medicaid system, vouchers, and credit cards. 39, food and vouchers. This would not be the case for the majority of Argentine immigrants, usually young people with university education or solid manual technical training.

The rule will encourage "the autonomy and self-confidence of those seeking to come or stay in the United States," said Ken Cuccinelli, Director of Citizenship and Immigration of the United States, to the White House. However, it will probably be more difficult for low-income immigrants to arrive in the United States. When asked if the rule unfairly targeted low-income immigrants, Cuccinelli said, "We certainly hope that people of all incomes will be able to fend for themselves, so if people are not self-reliant, this is a negative factor. will hurt them a lot by deciding if they can become legal permanent residents. "

The text of the regulation is 837 pages long and applies to those seeking to arrive or remain in the United States by law. According to the Department of Homeland Security, it is expected to affect approximately 382,000 people. However, millions of people could be affected. According to the regulations in force since 1996, the term "public office" is defined as a person who "depends mainly" on public badistance, which means that it provides more than half of its income. But until now, it only counted cash benefits, such as temporary badistance to needy families or additional security income from social security.

In addition, managers can take into account the financial resources, health, education, skills, family situation and age of the applicant. But few people are rejected for these reasons. Immigration advocates have claimed that the settlement goes beyond congressional intentions and that it will discriminate against those from the poorest countries, separate families and encourage legal residents to give up the government. This will also affect the children of those who are already US citizens. It will also penalize "hard-working" immigrants who only need a little temporary help from the state, according to Trump's critics.

"The rule reflects a bleak view of the United States, as a hostile nation, that wants to prevent people seeking to join their families, to work hard and climb the economic ladder, based on the mistaken badumption that they will not contribute to our future – communities, our economy and our nation, "said Robert Greenstein of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, said: "That it is about legal claimants, refugees or legal asylum seekers, the distinctions matter little to President Trump. are an immigrant, he feels that he has no place in this country ".
