The Trump administration is working toward cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits and money transfer services, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Friday.

“At [President Trump’s] direction, we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for U.S. citizens,” Bessent wrote on X.

As part of the effort, the Treasury Department will propose new regulations “clarifying that the refunded portions of certain individual income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualified aliens, covering the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver’s Match Credit,” according to the the Trump administration official.

Cut off government benefits.
Fine businesses that employ illegals.
Fine landlords who rent to illegals.

“cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits”

Why TH were they getting OUR tax money in the first place?

We need to change immigration policy so only people who don’t go on the dole are welcome here. You have to show means of support, a job skill, some savings, a sponsor who will vouch for you. And NO MORE benefits of ANY KIND to the damn moochers.

Let them learn how to be corrupt on their own and bleed Minnesota dry.

It’s such a far cry from 100 years ago. My grandparents arrived penniless in October 1927 and didn’t get a cent of public assistance or charity. They got to work, learned English, became naturalized and contributed. That’s back in the day when there was SHAME at being on the dole. We need to build that shame culture again. It simply can’t and won’t exist where government takes care of you cradle to grave.

Not only freebies but they come here to make tax free cash then send it to their families back in “their country”....here’s an oldie but goodie, prior to the 2016 election, admitting as much:

Rural Mexicans Praying for a Hillary Clinton Presidency

In the small southern market town of Molcaxac, 650 miles (1050 km) from the U.S. border, Alicia Villa is praying to God that Republican candidate Donald Trump does not become the next president of the United States.

Over the past two decades, as Mexico’s rural economy stalled, Molcaxac and hundreds of towns like it became dependent on dollars sent by relatives who made the perilous journey north, a lifeline she fears will be cut by a Trump White House.

I am disappointed that President Trump never taxed these cross border transfer the first time around...

Stop Western Union wire transfers or tax the profit out of them. 100% fee.
You send $500, you get taxed $500.

“The Trump administration is working toward cutting illegal migrants off from federal tax benefits and money transfer services”

Should’ve been done Feb. 1, 2025. What the hell were they waiting for?

Yes. And their healthcare is breaking the bank.
So is their SSI and social security.
They also get free driver’s licenses without having to take a driving test in Oregon.
They dump them off in buses at the DMV and are automatically registered to vote at the same time.
