Drafts of the rule, leaked in January 2017 and March 2018, suggest the measure would make sweeping changes in how use of—or likelihood to use—public benefits is taken into consideration in immigration-related decision-making. Some versions of the draft go so far as to suggest that legally present noncitizens could become subject to deportation if they use benefits and services for which they qualify. Based on experience with prior reforms of immigration and welfare legislation, it is reasonable to anticipate that the rule will discourage millions of immigrants from accessing health, nutrition, and social services that benefit not only them, but also their U.S.-citizen children. Indeed, there is some evidence to suggest this chilling effect is already taking place, as service providers report some immigrant clients dropping out and others failing to access benefits for which they are eligible. Join Migration Policy Institute (MPI) experts for a discussion of the anticipated public charge regulation, how it differs from current policy, its effects on immigrants and their U.S.-born children, and how the proposed rule could affect future benefits usage. The discussion will feature findings from a new MPI report that draws upon U.S. Census Bureau data to assess the level of benefits use by noncitizens, naturalized citizens, and the U.S. born in four major means-tested benefit programs to better understand the potential magnitude of the proposed rule’s chilling effects. The report provides an overview of the historical context for this proposal and of how the current public charge provision is used. And it sketches some of the likely implications for immigrant integration, federalism, and immigration policy. Please join us for this timely and important discussion. ________________________________ For more information events@migrationpolicy.org<mailto:events@migrationpolicy.org> | 202-266-1929 www.migrationpolicy.org<http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=wIjXN5eea%2BhRE%2F6yo8%2BjafFgu1Xah9PR> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/facebook-icon_64x64.png]<http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=ZGfNGnUOspGrfNDItel6KfFgu1Xah9PR> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/twitter-icon_64x64.png] <http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=T2uCyXur3DDM0tWh%2FI6mG%2FFgu1Xah9PR> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/linkedin-icon_64x64.png] <http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=rb%2BzKYcQZsiVLChSQxG7fw7dTl07dUVt> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/googleplus-icon_64x64.png] <http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=VEYDw377bwMvO2vK13dtNvFgu1Xah9PR> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/vimeo-icon_64x64.png] <http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=2OJdrGNMqDBT1q9fCO9rNvFgu1Xah9PR> [http://my.migrationpolicy.org/images/youtube-icon_64x64.png] <http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=RfmKEd3k5em4o9ZzV9nrWfFgu1Xah9PR> Migration Policy Institute 1400 16th St NW, # 300 Washington, DC 20036 Click here to unsubscribe<http://my.migrationpolicy.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=BVaux9qRbaVq02D62AFyt%2FFgu1Xah9PR>
