## Resource

The SBA just tightened the rules—starting March, only 100% U.S. citizen-owned businesses can apply for loans, leaving immigrant-owned ventures like a struggling pub out in the cold. Once eligible, green card holders now face exclusion as the agency pushes to direct taxpayer funds to American job creators. With relocation costs looming and SBA loans off the table, these businesses scramble for alternatives—community support and grants may be their only lifeline.
