Keep in mind that these 41.1 million, are some of the most vulnerable U.S. residents\u2014 families who are 125 percent below the federal poverty line, making roughly $32k a year (for a family of four).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The ruling, which is clearly a continuation of this administration\u2019s mission to brand poor immigrants of color as the enemy, received 266,000 public comments in opposition and well as opposition by pediatricians, hospitals, health insurers, public health officials, and 1,500+ organizations of various kinds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">As we\u2019ve seen in the past, overwhelming opposition isn\u2019t going to stop this administration from moving forward with this policy, so it isn\u2019t a surprise that the National Immigration Law Center has filed a lawsuit to challenge the policy. Locally, Santa Clara and San Francisco counties jointly filed a lawsuit as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">If this new rule is your first time hearing about \u201cpublic charge,\u201d you\u2019re not the only one. That\u2019s because public charge isn\u2019t anything new, but it has been obscured through technical-sounding language. Actually, the United States has been attempting to restrict the movement of poor migrants since colonial times. That\u2019s right, that old tale of North America being the salvation to many poor and persecuted European migrants is only half true. The first federal public charge policy came with the Immigration Act of 1882, right on the heels of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It stated, \u201c[any] convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge, [shall] not be permitted to land.\u201d This immigration act was revised less than a decade later, allowing for the deportation of those deemed \u201cpublic charges.\u201d (It also expanded the category of exclusion, for example, denying entrance of migrants who carry contagious diseases.) Turns out, during those early years, the percentage of migrants turned away at major ports of entry for being poor or idiots was quite high, 66 percent of the total excluded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">In the 1920s and \u201830s, California health officials cited figures of immigrants suffering from tuberculosis who were \u201clikely to become a public charge\u201d as a way to argue in favor of Mexican and Filipino repatriation. In the 1990s, reforms passed in health, welfare, and immigration reinvigorated public charge. The 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act required those sponsoring an immigrant to prove their income was one-fourth more than the federal poverty line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 gave states the power to deny welfare benefits to most illegal and legal immigrants and enforced sponsorship requirements by including the sponsor\u2019s income and resources when an immigrant applied to federal programs for up to 10 years. All of this happened under the Clinton administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">So, while the Trump administration is definitely using racism and xenophobia to further attack the social safety that keeps poor people barely afloat, the racialization and criminalization of immigrants is nothing new in American history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Cuccinelli\u2019s lazy rewrite of the original Lazarus piece, which states \u201cGive me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free\u201d inspired me to come up with a new spin on the famous Lady Liberty poem that is more reflective of American history and sentiment towards immigrants. I humbly offer a few edits of my own\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cDo not give me your tired,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><i>Unless they be willing to work for free<\/i>,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><i>too dark, too poor.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><i>Definitely do not<\/i> send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,<\/p>\n<p
