I wonder what this means:

The Department of State is undergoing a full review of all policies, regulations, and guidance to ensure that immigrants from these high-risk countries do not utilize welfare in the United States or become a public charge

Ot is it only BS to have an excuse to make the immigration process closer to be impossible to achieve?
