A federal judge in Oregon grants a temporary restraining order against a policy that would have denied immigrants a visa unless they can prove they will have health insurance

This order comes after a group of US citizens sued the Trump administration, arguing that this is a new form of"family separation."The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Portland, Oregon, claims that the proclamation will bar hundreds of thousands of immigrants from coming to the United States, and as a result, could separate families who are immigrating via family-sponsored visas.

Read MoreThe proclamation is among a string of sweeping changes that could dramatically curb legal immigration to the United States. President Donald Trump issued the proclamation in October, saying,"immigrants who enter this country should not further saddle our healthcare system, and subsequently American taxpayers, with higher costs."According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, in 2017, three-quarters of the 27.4 million uninsured people under age 65 were US citizens.

Without immigrants, there'd be no iPhone..

Democrats lining up to give illegal immigrants FREE, FREE. Working class people PAY, PAY thru tax increases by Democrats. Vote them out in 2020 and help save America. Vote red!!!!

They need to be able to be legal & pay for health insurance

Why do we give illegals more rights than homeless veterans....ask that question to your elected democrats and watch them run away....

You forgot the “idiot” after the A in the beginning of the story.

RafaelRomoCNN Ojalá que aprovechen esas personas de demostrar que en verdad quieren estar allí - trabajando y estudiando - no para cometer crímenes violentos y delinquir. No se le desea a ningún país.

Why a single judge can overrule the President mystifies me.

Most Americans dont have health insurance. How would immigrants afford such a thing.

TYVM!

What can we do to judges who uses their position to hamper the US from moving forward? If they are using legal means to obstruct,we should also use legal means to untangle what they have done and to ensure such acts would be prevented from happening again.Judges use the same law.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This kind of policy would put us one step closer to discriminating against our own US citizens. 'You have no health insurance? Well, then you can't get a government loan or assistance! If you can't cover your own health expenses, it's unlikely you'll pay back a loan. Tough luck!'

Who thinks this shit up ? Miller time !

Stupid politics

What election did this federal judge win again? Oh yeah, none. The Executive branch has broad, very broad control over immigration, deal with it. Win an election and it ends. Unelected judges and the administrative state we have created needs an enema

Oregon is a not a state, so therefore that judge has no jurisdiction.

Thank goodness for our judiciary! They have properly blocked most of Trump’s crimes against humanity!
