Republican Kansas Senator Roger Marshall has now reportedly sponsored legislation to deny citizenship to illegal immigrants who rely on taxpayer-funded services.
The resolution, focuses on a proposed DHS regulation that would reduce the amount of advantages that immigrants can receive that would be used against them when seeking permanent residency in the United States.
In 2019, the Trump administration defined a “public charge” as any immigrant who received one or more recognized public benefits for more than 12 months in a 36-month period, a categorization which would make it difficult if not impossible for them to then begin he path to citizenship.

Food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid are among the perks that would preclude an immigrant from earning a green card, according to the Trump administration.

Marshall’s Congressional Review Act has been backed by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
On November 14, Marshall introduced the resolution.
