Eligibility rules for legal immigrants have not changed.

No such proof is required now.
The requirement was tucked into the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, which President Bush signed into law earlier this year.THIS IS A BUNCH OF BULLS***. WHY SHOULD AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE LEGAL CITIZENS? AND ALL ILLEGALS HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP AND THEY GET WHAT EVER THEIR LITTLE HEARTS DESIRE. I AM SICK OF U.S. CITIZENS BEING TREATED LIKE SECOND OR THIRD CLASS CITIZENS IN OUR OWN COUNTRY BY OUR OWN GOVERNMENT.

Is it just government sloth that they are moving like an amoeba, or was this provision just one of those national security secrets that should not be broadcast?
