Sen. Kamala Harris on Monday said the Trump administration's new regulation that makes it easier to reject green card and visa applications is part of an ongoing effort by President Donald Trump to "vilify" immigrants.

The Trump administration's new regulation, paired with last week's enforcement raids, attempts to limit legal immigration and crack down on illegal immigration. Under the regulation, any green card and visa applicants could be turned down if they have low incomes or little education, and have used benefits such as most forms of Medicaid food stamps and housing vouchers, because they'd be deemed more likely to need government assistance in the future.

The move could dramatically cut the number of legal immigrants allowed to enter and stay in the US.

Harris told CNN's Kyung Lah it is a part of an "ongoing campaign of his to vilify a whole group of people."
