Oppose Limitations of Public Assistance for Immigrants - Deadline Dec. 10
Please submit a comment to the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to oppose the proposed rule change that will severely limit public assistance that is available to our immigrant communities here (Deadline Dec. 10).
Sample Comment
“I strongly oppose the Public Charge rule proposed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. I am appalled and offended by this rule that will judge me or any immigrant by our wealth, status, education, and whether we have asked for public assistance. [LIST ADDITIONAL PERSONAL OR POLICY REASONS WHY YOU ARE OFFENDED. THEY SHOULD BE UNIQUE TO YOU.]
[Insert reason why you or a family or a friend might be negatively impacted by the rule. Or insert a story of why public benefits helped you/your family. Insert your thoughts on America's values and how we can help integrate and welcome immigrant families coming here.]
I urge you to withdraw the public charge rule, which would undermine our nation's future.”
