,short title ,this ,act may be cited as 
the ,no ,federal ,funds for ,public

,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress 
that--  7#a7 immigrants and their       
families are a core part of our ,nation2
  7#b7 their health and safety is       
critical to the health and safety of our
 communities2  7#c7 ,federal1 ,state1   
and local assistance programs promote   
self-sufficiency by ensuring that       
families1 including immigrant and       
mixed-status families1 maintain their   
health1 strength1 and stability1 and can
 continue contributing to the ,nation's 
social and economic life2  7#d7 the     
proposed rule of the ,department of     
,homeland ,security entitled            
,inadmissibility on ,public ,charge     

,grounds is a sweeping and dangerous    
proposal that will impede access to     
essential food1 medical care1 and       
housing for many families2  7#e7 the    
proposed rule would damage ,state and   
local economies while burdening health  
and service providers1 and the          
,department of ,homeland ,security      
itself1 in the preamble of the proposed 
rule1 acknowledges the severe           
consequences of this proposal including 
that it could cause worse health        
outcomes1 including increased prevalence
 of obesity and malnutrition1 especially
 for pregnant or breastfeeding women1   
infants1 or children1 that it may       
decrease disposable income and increase 
the poverty of certain families and     
children1 including ,u4,s4 citizen      
children and that it could lead to      
reduced revenues for healthcare         
providers1 pharmacies1 companies that   
manufacture medical supplies or         
pharmaceuticals1 grocery retailers1 and 
agricultural producers2 and  7#f7 the   

proposed rule would circumvent ,congress
 and reverse #ajj years of law and      
policy1 restricting immigration and     
chilling access to services for which   
immigrants and their citizen family     
members are eligible1 in a manner not   
authorized or contemplated by ,congress4
