   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.”   
      
   Trump claimed that the Biden administration “repeatedly undercut the goals   
   of that law, resulting in the improper expenditure of significant taxpayer   
   resources.”   
      
   As a result, “taxpayer resources” have acted as a “magnet” for migrants,   
   “fueling illegal immigration to the United States,” according to the   
   president.   
      
   Trump’s order directs the head of every federal agency to “identify all   
   federally funded programs administered by the agency that currently permit   
   illegal aliens to obtain any cash or non-cash public benefit” and “take   
   all appropriate actions to align such programs” with PRWORA and other   
   federal laws.   
      
   The commander-in-chief further ordered government officials to “ensure,   
   consistent with applicable law, that Federal payments to States and   
   localities do not, by design or effect, facilitate the subsidization or   
   promotion of illegal immigration, or abet so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies   
   that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation.”   
      
   Trump’s executive order also asked federal agencies to “enhance   
   eligibility verification systems, to the maximum extent possible” in an   
   effort to exclude illegal immigrants from taxpayer-funded benefits.   
      
   The president tasked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led   
   by billionaire Elon Musk, with identifying “all other sources of Federal   
   funding for illegal aliens” and recommending “additional agency actions to   
   align Federal spending with the purposes of this order.”   
      
   The order demands that agencies refer any improper benefits going to   
   illegal immigrants to the  Department of Justice and the Department of   
   Homeland Security for “appropriate action.”   
      
   The move is part of the administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration,   
   one of Trump’s key campaign promises.   
      
   The president has lauded Musk and DOGE for helping implement several of   
   his executive orders that he argued would’ve been ignored by federal   
   workers without the bureaucracy-cutting team in place.

   It's unbelievable that we need an executive order to stop something most   
   taxpayers NEVER agreed to do in the first place. In a normal world, this   
   would be the largest class action lawsuit against a government in the   
   history of mankind.

   How in the world is this even an issue? When millions, and I'm am not   
   being a bit hyperbolic, of Americans have protracted difficulties   
   obtaining benefits that they have legitimately earned, almost always   
   through a lifetime of effort and sacrifice, yet people who are not even   
   citizens are being considered for said benefits? Has the world gone   
   completely insane? Either allow all citizens to enjoy what many other   
   countries in the developed world already provide to their citizens in   
   terms of full health care ( and both the pros and substantial cons) or act   
   as most other countries do, and insist that benefits are afforded solely   
   for their legitimate citizens.

   forward to America being great again.   
      
   The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and   
   eradicated.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
