Abstract:
The United States' public charge rule restricting who may enter or receive residency was expanded by the 2016 - 2020 federal administration and may be expanded again. This phenomenological study examines immigrant understandings of the use of public benefits and the consequences of penalizing immigrants in this way. As a feasibility study, it serves as an example of the merits and challenges of community-based organization (CBO) qualitative research. From September 2019 - April 2021, workers in a large urban CBO interviewed six immigrant participants about the public charge rule. We identify four themes: 1) mixed understandings, 2) avoidance of public benefits due to fear, 3) impact on children, and 4) interconnectedness. We describe immigrant insights on how anti-immigrant policies harm a nation as a whole.
