国土安全部宣布恢复绿卡 "公共负担"规定

特朗普政府宣布将对美国绿卡申请者重新实施财"公共负担"（"public charge"）政策，该规定在7月曾因冠状病毒爆发而被联邦法院暂停。那么为什么恢复"公共负担"规定影响巨大？因为绿卡是移民入籍的第一步，但是根据移民政策研究所的数据显示：近期即将获得绿卡的人中，有69%的移民身上至少有一个"公共负担。" 新规恢复后，总计会对50万左右的移民产生巨大影响。也就是说，任何在2月24日之后通过国土安全部申请但尚未获批绿卡的申请者，现在都必须证明他们未来不会去“依赖”某些政府福利。

根据新规定，可能会影响移民获得绿卡的因素包括：

1. 收入没有达到贫困线，这意味着一些中等收入的家庭将受到冲击。（根据Pew  Research Center的数据，一个五口之家每年5.83万美元被认为是中等收入水平）
2. 年龄大于61岁或小于18岁。
3. 有医疗问题，尤其是在没有保险的情况下。
4. 没有私人健康保险。
5. 不是全日制学生或就业人员。
6. 英语口语不熟练。
7. 有抵押贷款、汽车贷款或信用卡债务。

The Trump administration will reimpose a new wealth and health "public charge" test for green card applicants in the U.S., after the rule was previously blocked by a court injunction in July because of the coronavirus, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. Why it matters: The rule could have a drastic impact on the half million or so immigrants in the U.S. who receive green cards — the first step to citizenship — each year. 69% of recent green card recipients had at least one negative public charge factor, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
Anyone in the U.S. who applied, but has not yet been approved for a green card through DHS on or after Feb. 24 will have to prove they are not likely to rely on certain government benefits in the future.
Under the new rule, factors that could potentially hurt an immigrant's chances at a green card include:

1. Not having an income. That means some middle-income families would be hit, since $58,300 a year for a family of five is considered a middle-level income, according to the Pew Research Center.
2. Being older than 61 or younger than 18.
3. Having medical issues, especially if uninsured.
4. Not having private health insurance.
5. Not being a full-time student or employed.
6. Not speaking English proficiently.
7. Having a mortgage, car loan or credit card debt.  source
