President Trump is signed a memorandum Thursday that will enforce a 23-year-old provision requiring sponsors of legal immigrants in the U.S. to reimburse the government for any social services such as Medicaid or welfare used by the immigrant, Fox News has learned. The Department of Health and Human Services is to collect the data of the sponsors and the immigrants, while the Treasury Department would collect the funds. “Our plan will transform America's immigration system into the pride of our nation and the envy of the modern world," Trump said from the Rose Garden. Administration officials estimated that those numbers would flip to 57 and 33 percent, respectively, under the Trump plan. He also frequently has called for the end to the visa lottery program, something his immigration plan has sought to do.
