Joe Biden Signs Order Revamping Welfare-Dependent Immigration
2 Feb 2021
President Joe Biden signed an executive order that seeks to revamp welfare-dependent legal immigration to the United States by eliminating certain regulations and demanding a review of current enforcement practices.
On Tuesday, Biden signed an order that revokes a crackdown on welfare-dependent legal immigration that sought to protect American taxpayers from being forced to foot the bill for federal benefits provided to foreign nationals seeking green cards.
In May 2019, President Trump signed an order to enforce Clinton-era laws from 1996 that delegated all financial responsibility to a family member or business sponsor of a foreign national seeking a green card when they had previously used welfare programs. The order cut loose taxpayers from having to pay the cost.

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, the population of illegals residing in the U.S. grew approximately 200,000 in 2020 to an estimated of 14.5 million.
Common sense suggests that number will now jump.
“Now you have an administration,” says Ira Mehlman, a FAIR spokesman, “that has signaled that they re not going to do enforcement.”
The executive order freezing deportations came early in Biden’s flood of signings and the President was expected to sign three more immigration-related orders today, Feb. 2.
