Trump Admin Announces <br />Regulation That Could <br />Limit Legal Immigration.<br />The regulation announced <br />on Monday makes rejection of <br />green card and visa applications easier.<br />Under the rule, low <br />income and low education <br />applicants could be rejected.<br />In addition, those who <br />have used federal benefits <br />such as food stamps and housing <br />vouchers could also be rejected.<br />The acting US Citizenship and Immigration <br />Services Director said the rule will encourage <br />"self-reliance and self-sufficiency for those <br />seeking to come to or stay in the United States.".<br />During his statement at the <br />White House, the acting director also <br />responded to questions as to whether <br />the rule unfairly targeted low-income applicants.<br />We certainly expect people of any income to be able to stand on their own two feet, so if people are not able to be self-sufficient, than this negative factor is going to bear very heavily against them in a decision about whether they'll be able to become a legal permanent resident. , Ken Cuccinelli, Acting US Citizenship and Immigration Services Director, via CNN.<br />The 837-page rule is expected <br />to affect nearly <br />383,000 people
