The administration is making changes across the board so green card holders can no longer get a government-backed loan.

American children

will no longer be able to get daycare subsidies if their parents aren't citizens.

Many immigrants won't be able to get commercial trucker's licenses.

People like refugees can't sign up for Medicare or receive Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Many people seeking asylum won't be able to get work permits.

Really what we're seeing is the Trump administration trying to pull every lever to make life harder for immigrants in the United States and compel them to leave the country.

It's really a fundamental transformation of how welcoming the United States is to immigrants.
