Senate votes to block Biden's leniency on immigrants using welfare -
The 50-47 vote sends the measure to the House, where it is also likely to pass, given the GOP’s majority.
Still, the vote stands as another rebuke to Mr. Biden on both his expansive regulatory agenda and on immigration in particular. The current law was written in 1996, but it left it up to the administration to decide what counted as government support. That overturns a Trump policy that was more expansive, including use of Medicaid or public housing assistance as strikes against legal immigrants.
