This public charge rules has my parents in a panic
Ok small break down my parents own a house in NY the deed is in my dads name and his brother who lives in the VI . The mortgage is in my dads brothers name my dad pays the mortgage claims it in his taxes because it's a 2 family home and collects rent and list it as income he is self employed . My mom doesnt work but she is thinking she should take some classes. She wants to work she was an accountant 20 years again but she took care of us kids . My sister is 19 they are waiting for her to adjust their status to really do anything . They are tired . Question 1. Can they sell the house and buy another house in a southern state that's cheaper for cash can their property be seized ? That's their fear !
2. Do they have to wait to be legal they really want to move out of NY they also have property out of the country they can sell and just buy another house which would be the best option and would any of these help with being public charge and can any of these houses be seized and taken away from them ? |

I wouldn't move to a Southern state yet especially when Trump is the president. Maybe hold off for a few years before doing so.

I live in the South, don't come to the South if you are illegal.
No in-state. In Georgia you can get your immigration status questioned by police. The South is full stay home. |

Can someone please expand on how this mortgage affects public charge?
I am looking to buy a house in 2020. |
Re: This public charge rules has my parents in a panic
Not the mortage per say they are worried their property can be seized being illegal . They said someone told them this breaking news . I was hoping owning a home would be in their favor but they feel the opposite. I'm just gathering information but I'm definitely taking them to a lawyer .

Got it. Let us know what you find out.
It seems unlikely that being undocumented would affect your assets but who knows with this administration. |

I've never heard of the government seizing legal property of illegal immigrants - if you own it, you own it. The public charge rules aren't nearly as bad as most people think.
Here's a breakdown from the USCIS website: Benefits Subject to Public Charge Consideration USCIS guidance specifies that cash assistance for income maintenance includes:
Basically - don't apply for emergency funding. There's also a huge list of things that don't count as public charge stuff:
Your people will be ok dude, don't panic. The public charge rule is dumb because most immigrants don't even qualify for the programs they mention (SSI, Medicaid) only very few (state funded nursing homes, TANF) are even available to people without status. My advice for them:
