Illegal immigration is taking the spotlight at the Supreme Court.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argued Wednesday before the nine justices in favor of former President Donald Trump\\u2019s "public charge" rule. That rule, based on a concept that goes back to 1882, would prevent illegal immigrants from gaining citizenship if they use too many social services such as food stamps or Medicaid.

In Brnovich\'s words, it\'s only fair that hardworking Americans get priority over those "cutting the line."

"I just think that a lot of folks, hardworking, middle-class taxpayers in our country, not just in Arizona, all over, understand what\'s fair is what\'s fair," Brnovich says. "It\'s not fair for someone to come in and basically cut in line and then get government benefits."

Brnovich, a Republican, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how the Supreme Court arguments went, and what the "public charge" rule means for our immigration system.
