Taxpayer-Funded Benefits Are for American Citizens — Not Illegals

Today, at the direction of President Donald J. Trump, the Administration is taking the biggest step in more than 30 years to protect taxpayer-funded benefits for American citizens — NOT illegal aliens. The move, which preserves roughly $40 billion in benefits for American citizens, overturns decades of bureaucratic defiance and builds on President Trump’s executive order directing an END to the subsidization of open borders.

Under President Trump, hardworking Americans will no longer be forced to front the cost of benefits for illegals:

• The Department of Health and Human Services is restricting illegal aliens from 13 additional public programs, including Head Start, health workforce scholarships and loans, mental health and substance abuse support, family planning, and more.

• The Department of Education is ending free tuition for illegal aliens at post-secondary career and technical education programs.

• The Department of Agriculture is restricting illegal aliens from federally funded food assistance programs.

• The Department of Labor is barring illegal aliens from accessing federal workforce development resources and grants.

• The Department of Justice is closing longstanding loopholes that have allowed illegal aliens to access taxpayer-funded benefits.

I like this.

But also go after employers who hire illegals. I’d like to see ruinous fines for businesses that hire people who are here illegally.

Just wait until one of those liberal judges steps in ....

Good first step. Now cut the massive number of Americans, including middle class Americans, who are on food stamps.

[NorthMountain]

It’s a good first step ...

Something obvious that we all want!

Unhappily, the profligate Left has found dozens of ways to 'launder' money 💰 to illicit purposes, especially wasting taxpayer money 💸 on give-aways to invading leaches... secondly: to support Leftist seditious activities {e.g.: NPR, Geo S0r0s...}! ❗

Unfortunately......all true.

Give the businesses a certain short time limit to end illegal employment and then go after those who continue.

Employers are supposed to check (I believe it’s E-File)to see it they are illegal not sure it’s mandatory?.

[Vaduz]

Indeed must be why they are so many bogus NGO’s ?.

[Vaduz]

Good news indeed

[Liz]

Good catch.

e-verify needs to be enforced. Jail time as well for employers

Grok…”E-Verify, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s electronic employment eligibility verification system, remains active and operational as of July 2025. Originally launched in 1996 as a voluntary program for most employers, it continues to function in that capacity at the federal level, though it’s mandatory for federal contractors, certain government employees, and in varying degrees across multiple states. Employers use it to confirm that new hires are authorized to work in the U.S. by cross-referencing Form I-9 information against federal databases.
