Monday night on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin was joined by U.S. Customs and Immigration Services acting director Ken Cuccinelli to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to cut down on migrants who might pose a financial burden to the American taxpayer.
Earlier that day, Cuccinelli's agency announced an updated version of the government's "Public charge" rule, meant to screen out immigrants who may be dependent on government welfare.
While the Trump administration has already been cracking down on potential immigrant welfare recipients, the updated version of the rule rolled out Monday morning will incorporate more types of public benefits that will be considered in the process and is an effort to "Better ensure" that legal immigrants to the United States are "Self-sufficient," per a DHS press release.
"Self-sufficiency is central to American history. It's part of our core being as individual Americans, is pulling yourself up by your bootstraps," Cuccinelli told Levin on the radio.
"And if you're not an immigrant who can do that, then you won't pass this test."
The host also pointed out that it's completely fair and appropriate to look to past generations of immigrants as a standard for comparison.
"For those of you who are grandchildren of immigrants they never came here looking for one damn piece of anything from the government, and there wasn't anything to give."
