Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security proposes changes that would dramatically expand the definition of "public charge," which is a category that allows immigrants to be denied entrance or deported if they are seen as being "a burden" on the U.S. publicly-funded healthcare system or other public benefits. Critics raise alarm that this will further discourage immigrants from accessing the necessary care they need.
