“The Trump administration’s hateful and racist rhetoric will not change who we are as a beacon to the world. We are joining cities and municipalities across the nation to fight this rule with every tool at our disposal,” added de Blasio.
On the other hand, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the proposed public charge rule is the “latest example of the Trump Administration’s unlawful attempts to unfairly target and endanger the most vulnerable among us.”
Additionally, Emanuel emphasized that Chicago “will not stand by” while resources are taken away from its residents.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, commented, “Our government should never be in the business of punishing people who may need a little help making sure their kids are safe, fed, and have a roof over their heads. Creating fear and targeting legal immigrants who follow the rules does nothing to increase our security or strengthen our economy — it is nothing less than a public disgrace.”
