            WASHINGTON  (AP)  —  The
            Trump  administration  an-
            nounced Monday it is mov-
            ing forward with one of its
            most  aggressive  steps  yet
            to  restrict  legal  immigra-     GAMES
            tion:  Denying  green  cards
            to many migrants who use
            Medicaid,  food  stamps,
            housing  vouchers  or  other
            forms of public assistance.
            Federal  law  already  re-
            quires  those  seeking  to
            become  permanent  resi-
            dents  or  gain  legal  status
            to  prove  they  will  not  be
            a  burden  to  the  U.S.  —  a
            "public  charge,"  in  gov-
            ernment  speak  —but  the
            new rules detail a broader
            range  of  programs  that
            could disqualify them.       Acting Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli, speaks during a briefing at the White House,
                                         Monday, Aug. 12, 2019, in Washington.
