Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is defending a rule that limits entry for immigrants based on their likely use of public benefits.
"It cost the country billions of dollars," Paxton stated on "Sunday Morning Futures," on Fox News, "If we're going to invite people in, we've got to make sure they can take care of themselves and that they're not going to end up on food stamps and Medicaid and health care insurance from our country."
Paxton explained that the "public charge" rule, put in place to set boundaries on public assistance for immigrants, was never official until the Clinton administration federally enforced it. The rule was halted in 2020 after a court order.
