The Biden administration on Thursday formally rescinded the Trump-era "public charge" rule, which tightened restrictions on poorer immigrants seeking U.S. residency, as a dozen GOP state attorneys general scrambled to preserve it.

The move by Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to repeal his predecessor's policy seemed, at least for the moment, to calm the controversy that surrounded the measure this week.

"Today, DHS closed the book on the public charge rule," Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of Homeland Security, said in a statement.

The announcement came after a dozen top GOP state attorneys in recent days asked a federal appeals court for permission to defend the rule, seeking to take up a similar legal position to that of Trump's Department of Justice before he left office.

2. Public charge was stupid as shit. First because legal immigrants are restricted already

in what taxpayer funded programs they have access to.
Second because all it did was actually encourage more people to simply to enter illegally.
Of course if your a farmer or company reliant on cheap labor from people here that did not enter legally then you would be in favor of a law that actually encouraged more people to enter illegally rather than legally.
