Free welfare for illegal immigrants faces big court test

The Biden administration’s move to ignore rules dating to the 1800s that require immigrants to be self-sufficient faces a new Supreme Court challenge this week when Arizona and a dozen other states demand the White House to block obvious welfare cases from entering the United States.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Wednesday is scheduled to argue that the administration must enforce the “public charge” law that was used by the Trump administration to limit immigration and cut the welfare expenses of states typically stuck with the bill.
