On Monday, the Trump administration announced plans to “penalize legal immigrants who rely on public programs, such as food stamps and government-subsidized housing,” in an effort to cut back on legal immigration. Fox News has long complained about immigrants -- legal or otherwise -- benefiting from welfare programs.

The New York Times says the rule will “provide the Trump administration a powerful new tool to narrow the demographic of people who come to live and work in the country.” The rule change comes as President Donald Trump is being criticized for promoting white supremacy talking points that revolve around a fear of white Americans being replaced by minority immigrants -- a theory that appears to have motivated a mass shooter to kill 22 people in El Paso, TX.
