Immigration ‘Public Charge Rules' Back To The Future
When my parents became legal immigrants into the US, in the 1920s, the ‘Public Charge Rules’ required, that before immigrants could exit Ellis Island, they either had a written job commitment and or a US citizen filed a commitment that they would guarantee ‘living support’ for the immigrant.
