Bill overview
This bill, the No Public Charge Deportation Act of 2019, aims to eliminate the possibility of deportation based on becoming a ‘public charge’ – an individual who relies on government assistance for a certain period after entering the United States. Specifically, it removes the provision in immigration law that allows for deportation if someone receives public benefits for a specified time. The bill modifies existing immigration law to clarify that certain individuals, like those inadmissible under section 212(a)(4), are exempt from this deportation ground. This change would affect how immigration officials determine deportability based on public benefit usage.
