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.”

Isn’t it cool how a rogue judge can overrule the will of the people?

It’s still February in MI, so many of them will think they can let an SUV drive itself out of trouble, and then they end up getting stuck in a snow-filled ditch or median.

Great news ... however since this was already law at the FedGov level the states will have to follow thru with their own versions. Expect the usual states to refuse to curtail benefits to illegals thereby inviting the illegals that don't self deport to migrate from red states to those blue states.

Getting the illegal population to coalesce into those likely blue states has several good things going for it. It makes ICE apprehensions easier. Also as the state's illegal population swells, the normals will start to resent the trend. Hopefully that will lead to changes at the state level government.

“They” didn’t get the money. Democrat apparatchiks got the money and invested it in houses or stocks or cash in banks

Where are all the big name musicians and bands? Why don’t they do something new to ‘benefit’ illegals? They did for other causes with Live Aid, Farm Aid, The Concert for Bangladesh...Where are they now? Why don’t they do something? /s

“inviting the illegals that don’t self deport to migrate from red states to those blue states.”

I think it’s already happening....since biden invited every scumbag in the world to come here the Walmart’s I patronize have been absolutely packed with 20 to 40 year old
male illegals.....since ICE began catch and deport in earnest I see very few, and the ones I do see are females.

We should still provide medical care for life threatening emergencies, especially for children. Call ICE and patch them up, in that order.

Good, they never should have gotten anything, there was a time when legal immigrants didn’t get anything either.

the Catholic Charities and other religious organizations are hardest hit. So, Dems want illegals for voting scams, and Pubs for cheap labor. Charities for moola moola. What do ordinary Dems get out of the coddling of illegals? Must be something?

If they are bank run debit cards, that may be the case. I was thinking they were “visa” cards—like gift cards. They are preloaded and can be used like cash anywhere on the network. If that is the case, once they are issued the money is “gone.” Reloading or reissuing them would be when the “flow stops.”

Either way…they are not going to be happy.

When I stop feeding the birds and squirrels when spring comes…they still come by the patio looking for handouts for a long time.

“when the “flow stops.”

I predict that’ll be when crime skyrockets in sanctuary cities

Like with FEMA, many politicos will violate this EOrder. Jail them. Restore the rule of law. Lacking that, jail time, means this is all no better than the security theater at airports.

If the Feds pull out of Medicaid for illegals - the states will have to not provide the care or the state will have to pay the difference- could be a good time to
vamoose from migrant heavy states.

I agree with cutting them off - but it’s gonna be a shit show

Hospitals won’t refuse care to anyone with say - life threatening injuries from an auto accident. What happens then ? That cost will get passed on to the rest of
the paying users.

I think that if a hospital provides emergency medical services to an illegal - the Feds should pay if the hospital turns the illegal in to ICE
If a hospital provides services to an illegal and doesn’t report - then the Feds should revoke that hospitals ability to participate in MediCARE as well.
That would stop it.
