Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel this week announced her support for a proposed change in a 2019 federal policy that made it harder for immigrants on welfare to obtain Legal Permanent Residency (LPR) in the United States.

On the threshold of what is expected to be a record-setting influx of migrants entering the country by crossing the southern border, Nessel and 20 state attorneys general signed a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas urging that the Trump administration’s definition of a “public charge” be modified.
