NILC <\/span>Urges President Biden to Veto Challenge to Public Charge Rule<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 Kica Matos, president<\/span> of the National Immigration Law Center<\/span> and the NILC Immigrant <\/span>Justice Fund<\/span>, <\/span>issued the following statement in response to t<\/span>he Senate vot<\/span>e<\/span> to repeal t<\/span>he<\/span> Biden administration\u2019s public charge rule:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, the National Immigration Law Center and a broad coalition of allies fought back against Trump\u2019s cruel public charge wealth test that threatened the health, nutrition, and housing of millions of families who call the U.S. home. When he took office, President Biden and his administration worked to undo this damage and create a new rule to reinstate and clarify longstanding policy and address socioeconomic and racial inequities. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo see a Senate majority vote to send us back to the cruelty of the Trump era is unacceptable. This is the latest attempt in a tired right-wing political playbook meant to keep the American public divided and distracted while Republicans scapegoat immigrants and undermine the values to which this nation aspires.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the House to vote to reject this harmful measure, and should it land on President Biden\u2019s desk, we expect him to veto it. The wellbeing of entire communities is on the line.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
