Many immigrants have no credit scores.
The Trump administration said Monday it will make it more difficult for immigrants who rely on food stamps or Medicaid to become U.S. citizens.
This includes applications for public benefits in the U.S., proof of private health insurance to cover certain medical conditions, and their credit histories and credit scores. Some say the policy will and, in some cases, has discouraged some immigrants from seeking public aid. “Allowing an immigration officer to pull your FICO FICO, -1.90% before a final decision will take us bad places. Quickly,” said Matt Cameron, an immigration law attorney at Cameron Law Offices in Boston. He said many low-income families, especially first-generation immigrants, do need help with food.
Credit histories and scores won’t be the only factor in an immigration agent’s judgment of immigrants’ applications, and would be an objective way to demonstrate good financial standing, she said. “There’s nothing political about it,” Vaughan added.Immigration law never required such substantial proof of financial status before, said Doug Rand, co-founder and president of Boundless, an immigration assistance firm.
