Wyden Statement on Public Charge Rule
Washington, D.C. — Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued the following statement after the Trump administration released new rules on “public charge” restrictions.
“Donald Trump is continuing his profoundly destructive campaign against hardworking Americans and the economy,” Wyden said. “Not only is this approach a cruel pull of the rug out from under millions of Americans - immigrants here legally - who pay taxes and buoy the economies of their communities, but it is already creating a nationally damaging chilling effect for immigrant communities who will forgo health care, food assistance, and other necessities out of fear of what Trump’s regime will do to them. This will contribute to an increased cost of living for all Americans.”
