A Biden appointee in Manhattan just told the American people that our government lacks the authority to prevent immigrants from countries with high public benefit dependency rates from entering the United States.

Read that again. She’s saying we must accept applicants we know are likely to become financial burdens on American taxpayers, even when our own State Department has identified the risk.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio implemented a policy that any reasonable person would call prudent. The directive covered 75 countries where immigrants historically show high rates of public assistance dependency. Not a travel ban. Not a permanent prohibition. A pause to review individual cases and require additional evidence that applicants wouldn’t immediately jump onto welfare rolls. This isn’t radical. It’s responsible governance.

The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the Secretary of State broad authority over visa issuance but not with this judge.

Good Night, Patriots!
