Statement on the Proposed Changes to Public Charge
In a move that has been rumored since February, the Federal Administration’s proposed changes would significantly expand how “public charge” is determined. Likelihood to become a “public charge” is one of the many factors considered when determining application for permanent residency or visas to the United States. The proposed rule would threaten the ability of many immigrants and their families to confidently use public programs without possible consequences to their immigration status.
CPC stands firmly opposed to the Federal Administration’s recently proposed expansion of the “public charge” definition and condemns it as an explicit and systematic attack on low-income, immigrant families, and communities of color.
