Is the U.S. Government Giving Undocumented Immigrants Free Healthcare? Brad Bernstein explains that undocumented immigrants can only access free healthcare in two specific situations: 1. For the health of an unborn child – If the child will be born a U.S. citizen, healthcare for the mother may be provided. 2. In an emergency – Emergency medical treatment is available regardless of immigration status. Otherwise, the U.S. government is not giving undocumented immigrants free healthcare.

Trump Introduces $5 Million ‘Gold Card’ for Wealthy Immigrants In a recent announcement from the White House, President Donald Trump, alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy, unveiled a new immigration initiative dubbed the “Trump Gold Card.” This program offers a pathway to U.S. permanent residency and citizenship for foreign nationals willing to invest $5 million directly into the U.S. government. The administration plans to implement this program within the next two weeks. Key Points: • Program Details: The “Trump Gold Card” requires a $5 million payment from foreign investors, granting them green card privileges and a route to U.S. citizenship. This initiative aims to attract affluent individuals who can contribute significantly to the U.S. economy. • Replacement of EB-5 Program: This new program is set to replace the existing EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which has faced criticism for fraud and inefficiency. Commerce Secretary Lutnick emphasized the need for a more straightforward and lucrative approach to attract global investors. • Legal and Legislative Concerns: The announcement has raised questions about the legality of such a program, as immigration policies traditionally require congressional approval. Critics argue that this move bypasses legislative processes and could face legal challenges. Stay informed about this developing story.

President Trump Considers Invoking Alien Enemies Act to Expedite Deportations Brad Bernstein discusses President Trump’s anticipated use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to accelerate deportations of certain non-citizen groups, focusing on gang members and drug cartel affiliates. 📌 Key Points: • Alien Enemies Act Overview: This 18th-century law allows the president to detain, relocate, or deport non-citizens from nations with which the U.S. is at war or facing invasion. Historically, it has been invoked during declared wars to manage nationals from enemy countries. • Current Application: President Trump plans to declare specific gangs and drug cartels as foreign adversaries, enabling the use of this act to deport affiliated non-citizens without standard due process. • Legal and Ethical Concerns: Critics worry that this broad application could lead to wrongful deportations of individuals mistakenly identified as gang or cartel members, bypassing their right to a fair hearing. • Potential Legal Challenges: The invocation of this act in the current context is expected to face lawsuits. Courts may need to assess the validity of the “invasion” designation and balance presidential authority against individual rights. Stay informed about changes in immigration policies. If you or someone you know could be affected, consult with an immigration attorney to understand your rights and options. #A#AlienEnemiesActI#ImmigrationLawD#DueProcessK#KnowYourRightsB#BradBernsteinU#USImmigrationL#LegalUpdate

Trump Proposes National Registry & Jail Time for Undocumented Immigrants The Wall Street Journal just reported that President Trump is set to propose a national registry for undocumented immigrants. Under this plan: 🚨 All undocumented immigrants (ages 14+) must register with the government within 30 days 💰 Failure to register? A $5,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail ⚖️ This would criminalize undocumented status, which has historically been a civil offense, not a crime 📌 This isn’t the first time the U.S. has attempted a registry: • 1940s: Used to track suspected communists • Post-9/11: NSEERS registry targeted Muslim men—later deemed a failure and scrapped This proposal would likely face major legal challenges and strain resources. Will it actually happen? We’ll have to wait and see. Stay informed on the latest immigration news.

Replying to @TDOT Can You Sponsor Multiple Wives for a Green Card? Brad Bernstein answers a wild question—can you sponsor all six of your wives for U.S. immigration? 🚨 Short answer: No! 📌 Here’s why: ❌ Bigamy & polygamy are NOT recognized in any of the 50 U.S. states. ❌ The U.S. Immigration & Nationality Act only acknowledges one legal spouse. ❌ Even if your marriages were legal in the country where they happened, only the FIRST wife counts under U.S. law. ❌ All other marriages are void for immigration purposes. 🚨 Bottom line: You can only sponsor your first legally recognized spouse. The others? Not eligible. Have questions about marriage-based immigration?

President Trump signed an executive order to end all federal subsidies for undocumented immigrants—but here’s the truth: that’s already been the law since 1996! 📌 What benefits are undocumented immigrants actually eligible for? ✅ Free public education (K-12) ✅ Emergency Medicaid (ONLY in life-or-death situations, like a heart attack) 🚫 No other federal benefits—no welfare, no food stamps, no government housing. 📢 Brad Bernstein explains: This executive order doesn’t change anything—it just makes Trump look tough on immigration without actually affecting policy.

Title: President Trump Ends Parole Programs: What It Means for Immigrants Description: President Donald Trump, in his first days back in office, has ended parole programs for Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Cuba, leaving thousands of immigrants in limbo. Immigrants currently in the U.S. on parole will no longer be able to renew their status and must find a new legal pathway to stay. Those waiting abroad to enter the U.S. under these programs are now barred from coming. The executive order also mandates expedited removal for many, without access to an immigration judge—even for those in the U.S. for over two years. This move appears to violate current immigration laws and is expected to face legal challenges in federal court.

Trump’s Plan for Mandatory Immigrant Fingerprinting: What You Need to Know Brad Bernstein discusses a new executive order signed by President Trump on day one, directing government agencies to create a plan for mandatory fingerprint registration of all non-U.S. citizens. Noncompliance could result in criminal charges and deportation. While this is not yet in effect, it’s expected to become a reality within the next few years. This isn’t the first time such a program has been attempted. After 9/11, President Bush introduced NSEERS (National Security Entry-Exit Registration System), which was ultimately discontinued due to its failure. Here’s why NSEERS was widely criticized: • It targeted individuals based on nationality and religion, leading to accusations of discrimination. • It resulted in detentions and deportations but provided no significant national security benefits. • The program caused unnecessary fear and mistrust among immigrant communities. This new program, if implemented, will likely face legal challenges and injunctions. Stay informed about potential immigration changes and how they may impact you.

Trump Fires 18 Immigration Judges—What It Means for Deportation Cases In breaking news, President Trump has fired 18 immigration judges—all appointed under President Biden. 📌 What does this mean? • The deportation case backlog already stands at 3.5 million people. • Most cases require multiple hearings before a decision is made. • First-time master calendar hearings are already being scheduled as far out as 2028. 🚨 The reality?

Why It’s Hard to Get a Visitor Visa When Married to a U.S. Citizen Brad Bernstein explains why it’s difficult for someone married to a U.S. citizen to get a visitor’s visa. The U.S. Embassy often assumes that the spouse has immigrant intent, meaning they plan to move to the U.S. and not return to their home country. Because of this, visitor visas are commonly denied. Brad advises filing a visa petition for a green card as quickly as possible to resolve this issue and reunite with your spouse in the U.S. Brad Bernstein is a licensed immigration attorney with over 30 years of experience, helping thousands navigate U.S. immigration laws. #ImmigrationLaw #MarriageVisa #VisitorsVisa #USImmigration #BradBernstein #SparAndBernstein #SuperLawyer #GreenCard #ImmigrationHelp #TikTokLawTips #VisaProcess
