Rep. Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday accused acting Citizenship and Immigration Services director Ken Cuccinelli of pursuing a 'heinous white supremacist ideology.'
Wasserman Schultz asked Cuccinelli if his agency had done an assessment to determine how many children were at risk of losing access to"critical services due to fear to losing legal status" under the"public charge" rule.
During her questioning, she accused Cuccinelli of wanting"to block all immigration and make life harder for immigrants." Cuccinelli responded by saying that neither he nor President Trump were white supremacists. He also said he didn't know how to answer Wasserman Schultz's question on whether his agency ever analyzed the impact that the"public charge" policy would have on children living in immigrant families because the"rule is a thousand pages long."
