Trump signs executive order cutting off all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday night barring illegal immigrants from receiving federally funded benefits.

“My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans,” read the text of Trump’s order.

The president noted that the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) ostensibly prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits, but he argued that in the decades since its passage, “numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress.”

If you don’t give it away, they will leave.

Would be interesting to see all currently on the rolls for whom the states can’t verify citizenship (because that should be the level for qualification anyway). Then send Homan after them all.

The Law already provides that Illegals are NOT eligible for Benefits, but has been dis-regarded.

Let's see which stooge in a black robe decides to "TRO" this "Agenda item".

Likewise, those discovered to have mis-used the taxpayer funds and rewarded the LAW BREAKERS, or AUTHORIZED disbursement, should be Prosecuted, Deported, and/or imprisoned, per the Law.

Sue Trump! He is upholding the law, and that is not his job! We didn’t vote for this!

But what are these Julietas going to do with their new Suburbans and Expeditions now that they can’t make the payments?

That’s going to be fun to watch. Those disabled parking rearview mirror placards are going to be worthless to them also. Might as well take them back to whoever they bought them from. I wonder if they came in their miggie “American Dream” survival kits with their cellphone, credit cards, hotel room key, coupon for a free pair of Nikes, and wad of U.S. dollars bundle given to them by the Biden administration miggie “advocates.”

Good!

No change in the laws, just enforcing them. It’s bizarre that he even has to do this.

Why should illegals get anything but ejection?

“Dreamers” can earn their citizenship.

This will be fun to watch.

I wonder how long it will take for the flow to stop reaching the end users. And then that happens…how long will it take for the bellies to start feeling empty?

I suspect the first thing we will see are the Libs protesting. Then, as the immigrants find themselves on the streets and out of food….we will see the start of some violence. (Not the individual violence, but “group” violence.)

When that stuff happens, the worm will turn and the masses of Americans will call for mass deportation.

If the money stops today…this will take about three weeks.

I’d also hope they don’t get public schooling at local taxpayer expense.

This kind of money is NOT going to individuals. It’s going to the NGOs. They will convert the grant money to debit cards to be used for food (like a private EBT card.)

That is how the previous administrations were funding the immigrants.

“I wonder how long it will take for the flow to stop reaching the end users.”

I assume the cards could be shut down immediately.....my bank did that to my debit card once because of suspicious activity and didn’t even tell me.....I only found out when I tried to use it.

How sad that our taxpayer money went to illegals! We”ve had traitors in government to pay for an invasion into our country!

We in California voted for Prop. 187 but a judge overruled it. This act covers federal tax dollars. What about state tax dollars still going to illegals?
