Exclusive: House conservatives led by Rep. Babin ask Trump to force immigrants to post ‘charge bonds’

Big League Politics obtained a letter from 17 House conservatives sent a letter to President Donald J. Trump asking the president to enforce the federal law that requires immigrants to post “Public Charge Bond,” so they are not a public burden.

“Unfortunately, DHS and the State Department no longer require applicants to post a public charge bond, not does any other federal agency,” the letter said.

“As the result, an exorbitant amount of public assistance is being accessed by immigrants, who promised not to become a burden on the taxpayers,” the letter said.

The congressmen said the bond is an easily enforceable method of good public policy.

It is a very simple process, they said. “If the immigrant does not become a public charge, the bond is canceled. If the immigrant becomes a public charge, costs for public assistance benefits are deducted from the public charge bond.

Rep. Brian Babin (R.-Texas) wrote the letter and circulated it to his colleagues. The letter was sent to the president, his senior advisor Stephen Miller and Kathy Nuebel Kovarik, at the federal office of Policy and Strategy of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
