The Trump Administration's new #PublicCharge rule is cruel, immoral, and mean-spirited. It prevents hardworking, low-income taxpayers who are here legally from using or even applying for programs that they qualify for.
This will have a devastating impact on thousands of families in #Massachusetts. Let's be clear here: there is already a public charge rule on the books. The only goal of this dramatic expansion is to tell families they're not welcome unless they are wealthy and white.
Think about this: Trump's own @DHSgov said this change could result in “worse outcomes, including increased prevalence of obesity and malnutrition, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding women”, and “increased rates of poverty and housing instability.”
That is why I am a proud cosponsor of @RepJudyChu’s H.R. 3222 to stop @DHSgov from using any funding to implement this counterproductive policy.
Immigrants are not a drag on our economy. Their hard work and tenacity literally built this country. We will fight back!
