Now there's a plan to disqualify green cards for those who seek food stamps or insurance for their KIDS. Because we don't want **legal** immigrant kids to have their shots, right?

Stephen Miller is getting his wish.

Bypassing Congress and writing immigration "rules" that deny LEGAL immigrants their rights under the law is now the Trump plan.

NBC News reports:

The Trump administration is expected to issue a proposal in coming weeks that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens or get green cards if they have ever used a range of popular public welfare programs, including Obamacare, four sources with knowledge of the plan told NBC News.

The move, which would not need congressional approval, is part of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller's plan to limit the number of migrants who obtain legal status in the U.S. each year.

"Any policy forcing millions of families to choose between the denial of status and food or health care would exacerbate serious problems such as hunger, unmet health needs, child poverty and homelessness, with lasting consequences for families' wellbeing and long-term success and community prosperity," said the National Immigration Law Center in a statement.
