introduced a new public charge rule last year that expanded the number of government benefits that would disqualify a green card applicant.

Immigration advocacy groups argued the new rule would discourage immigrants from seeking medical treatment, which is particularly worrisome during the COVID-19 pandemic.Javier H.

In promoting the new rule, Ken Cuccinelli, director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, rewrote the poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty. "Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge,’" Cuccinelli told NPR’s"Morning Edition."
