Efforts are currently underway at the federal level to strip immigrant access to critical safety net programs and services that make it possible for them to lead healthy lives and thrive. These efforts also seek to restrict legal immigration in the future, where those who might fall on hard times and need support cannot make the U.S. their home. Earlier this year, news leaked that the Department of Homeland Security was finalizing a proposed regulation regarding “public charge.” This draft rule would force immigrant families to choose between their health and safety and a path to a green card. This webinar describes public charge, how it would harm health and well-being, and what you need to know if you work with immigrant families.
