New York City\u2019s Islamist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is upset that the Trump administration doesn\u2019t want foreigners living off U.S. taxpayers.<\/p>\n

U.S. immigration law has long maintained that foreigners applying for a visa or green card can be rejected if they are found to be likely at any time to become dependent on taxpayer-funded benefits.<\/p>\n

In 2021, however, then-President Joe Biden changed the \u201cpublic charge\u201d rule to make it harder to reject foreigners on welfare. The new rule decreed that foreigners could be rejected only if they accepted cash welfare like SSI or TANF, or long-term, government-paid nursing home care. Excluded from the list were Medicaid, SNAP\/food stamps, housing assistance, etc.<\/p>\n

In July, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced<\/a> that it would be reversing the Biden administration\u2019s \u201cpublic charge\u201d rule changes, meaning immigration officers will once more be able to reject foreigners who live off welfare programs like Medicaid and SNAP.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, who\u2019s repeatedly demonstrated that he cares more about foreigners than actual U.S. citizens, isn\u2019t happy about any of this.<\/p>\n

In an announcement made Monday, he revealed that a coalition of left-wing cities, including NYC, has filed a lawsuit challenging the new policy. In defending this otherwise wasteful lawsuit, he falsely accused the Trump administration of terrorizing foreigners.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government has waged a campaign of violence and terror,\u201d he alleged. \u201cICE has broken into our neighbors\u2019 homes, work sites and schools. And it has targeted those who have come to our country in search of refuge and in search of opportunity. These actions are an assault on our civic fabric, on our shared values. And no matter how much destruction they have already caused, it continues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani went on to act like broke foreigners who live off welfare somehow run New York City even though they don\u2019t even have a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmigrants from every country, from every continent, who speak every language and worship in every conceivable way, drive our buses and our trains, teach our children how to read, and tend to us when we are sick,\u201d he said. \u201cImmigrants fought for the 8-hour workday for fair pay and workplace protections that deliver dignity into the lives of so many.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also alleged that people will die unless foreigners who could just go home are denied access to free goods and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of this is abstract. People could die as a result of these changes,\u201d he said. \u201cThe rate of premature mortality in immigrant communities in New York City could increase by up to 10.6 percent within just the next five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani, an unrepentant Islamist, even bluntly said foreigners are \u201cENTITLED\u201d to free stuff paid by U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake, this is an undisguised effort to strip New Yorkers of the services they rely on, the public benefits they are entitled to,\u201d he said. \u201cFamilies, including those with children who are U.S. citizens, have already begun to forego essential services like SNAP, Medicaid, and affordable housing out of the fear that if they use these programs, immigration officers could use it as justification to deny them a future in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration later slammed Mamdani.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtreme Democrats are once again fighting to give benefits to illegal aliens at the expense of American taxpayers,\u201d an administration official told Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmigrants must be able to support themselves and not depend on hard-working American taxpayers,\u201d the official added. \u201cPresident Trump and this administration will always put American citizens first.\u201d<\/p>\n

A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson also defended the new \u201cpublic charge\u201d policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is upholding the rule of law and protecting American taxpayers from subsidizing aliens who may become dependent on public benefits,\u201d they said. \u201cUSCIS is committed to safeguarding the safety, security, and financial well-being of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
