Illegal Immigrants on Terror Watchlist Received Medicaid, Unemployment Insurance: DOGE

Numerous illegal immigrants with terrorist or criminal links who entered the United States under the previous administration received several government benefits, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” DOGE said in an April 11 post on social media platform X.

According to the post, which was republished by The White House, the Customs and Border Patrol has so far identified “a subset of 6.3k individuals paroled into the United States since 2023 on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or with criminal records.” An immigration parole allows an illegal immigrant to temporarily live and potentially work in the country without having to fear getting deported.

“These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect. Despite having no other legal status, paroled aliens are able to file for work authorization and receive social security numbers,” the post stated.

All the 6,300 paroled illegal immigrants with terrorism or criminal histories carried a social security number, DOGE said. Out of these, 905 individuals collected Medicaid, totaling $276,000 in payouts. Forty-one received unemployment insurance, collecting $42,000 worth of benefits.

In addition, 22 got federal student loans worth $280,000; 409 received $751,000 in tax refunds in just 2024 alone; and many were recipients of food stamp benefits, according to DOGE.

On Feb. 19, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing agencies to identify federally funded programs offering financial assistance to illegal immigrants. The order asked agencies to ensure that such funds, granted to states and localities, are not used to “support sanctuary policies or assist illegal immigration.”

“With this Executive Order, President Trump is ensuring taxpayer resources are...

And Trump gets indicted for taking out a bank loan? Where are the indictments against Dr. Dementia for treason? Think of the lives lost, the money wasted because of that bastard who is now living it up like a King with the rest of his criminal family.

Old Larry King Live show had him grilling a GOP Congressman about his refusing to support the new coming Obamacare legislation.

“So if this hypothetical man in my example has no health insurance and is refused government medical care, you would just let him die? You would let him die?”

But when the terrorists went to the doctor’s office they insisted on having their beards checked for lice.
And the waiting room had no Arabic language magazines.

Of course they did.

Find the Deep State criminals who authorized these payments of funds to illegal aliens and perp walk and jail them without bail then convince for theft from me and every other taxpayer.

“Find the Deep State criminals who authorized these payments”
They might just be able to do that.
First they need to look at who the real president was.
Biden didn’t give a pardon to the Kenyan snake.

AND claw back every red cent, with interest and penalties (a la IRS) from the illegals AND triple that as punitive damages from each of the bureaucrats involved.

What is the point of having a Terrorist Watch List, if we not only let them in; we then give them Unemployment, free hotel, food stamps, education and discounts on explosives?

Democrats need to face Treason charges; and then face public executions. Then we can go after the foreign terrorists

OMG! For cryin’ out loud, they’re criminals and should never have received taxpayer paid benefits. Some people’s heads should roll.

It’s because of the TPS IMMIGRATION system. Illegals can be under TPS if they are coming from war torn countries.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary immigration status granted to nationals of countries experiencing circumstances like armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions that prevent them from safely returning to their home country. This status allows individuals to remain in the U.S. and work, while providing protection from deportation.

They can qualify for SS. SSID, Medicaid, etc.

Seems like being an alien terrorist or criminal is a fast track to receive government funding.
