This means a widening of the current rules, that only people who are financially dependent on the state are not eligible for a so-called Green Card. Non-financial support must, however, be disregarded. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said that the new directive should prevent immigrants,a burden for American taxpayers”.
