It has allowed radicals to frame as racist normal law enforcement activities and immigration rules.
The New York Times depicted the new rule as part of an effort by the president and his hard-line immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, to "Shift" the demographic makeup of newcomers to the country.
Even in the era of mass immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries, those who came here had to promise not to become a "Public charge" upon the United States.
The federal Immigration Act of 1882 was the first US law to specifically insist that immigrants who couldn't take care of themselves would be excluded.
The landmark 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act liberalized the system, but it nevertheless allowed for the deportation of immigrants who became public charges within five years.
The Trump administration wants to shift our immigration system to one based on merit, like the ones that reign in Canada and many European countries.
The story of immigration to the United States has always been about people of every race, color and creed who come here to work and take advantage of American freedoms and opportunity - not a desire to take advantage of the welfare state.
