Trump Considers Limiting U.S. Citizenship Access

Immigration lawyers and advocates saw red Tuesday amid reports that the Trump administration plans to make it all but impossible for legal immigrants to become citizens if they have ever relied on public welfare programs such as the Affordable Care Act. The overhaul is part of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller's broader plan to reduce the number of immigrants who obtain legal status, multiple people familiar with the matter told NBC News. The move is still in the planning stages, but the sources said its enactment would make it much more difficult for immigrants to become citizens if they or their family members have ever used Obamacare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, food stamps and other public benefits.
