New York City’s socialist-in-chief, Zohran Mamdani, announced Monday that the Big Apple will lead a new lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging a rule that would expand the list of public benefits under which immigration officials can deny green cards to immigrants who are “likely at any time to become a public charge,” that is, to take advantage of welfare benefits. The programs that would be included in the new rule include SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children).

During his speech announcing the lawsuit, Mamdani employed the left’s usual scare tactics in an attempt to guilt the administration into doing what he wants. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “People could die” if the government doesn’t give out these handouts.

“The federal government finalized a set of drastic and unlawful changes to our country’s public charge rule, a rule that makes it possible for someone to be denied immigration status based on the likelihood of their need for public benefits,” he said. “It is intentionally vague as a means of creating uncertainty and fear, to isolate immigrant New Yorkers.”

“This is an undisguised effort to strip New Yorkers of the services they rely on, the public benefits they are entitled to,” he continued. “Up to 4 million people from across the country could unenroll from their health care alone. … None of this is abstract. People could die. … Immigrants are New Yorkers.”

Of course, he says this in the kind of rueful tone that could fool some people into thinking this is some great crime or some great overreach by our government.

Never mind that rejecting immigrants who were likely to be on the public dole has been on the books on the federal level since 1882........
