(5MinNewsBreak.com) – Redirecting the nation’s funds to the benefit of the American people, President Donald Trump has taken decisive action to protect taxpayers and uphold the rule of law.
In a bold move, he signed an executive order to cut off taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens and block funds supporting sanctuary policies.
This order seeks to restore fiscal responsibility and prioritize the needs of American citizens, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
The executive order specifically directs federal agencies to identify and terminate taxpayer-funded benefits currently accessible to illegal aliens.
It also instructs agencies to prevent federal funds from supporting sanctuary policies that undermine immigration enforcement efforts.
This action aligns with President Trump’s campaign promises to secure borders and put American citizens first.
President Trump emphasized the importance of this order, stating, “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.”
The order references the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA).
PRWORA generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits.
President Trump criticized previous administrations, particularly the Biden administration, for expanding benefits to illegal aliens in violation of federal law.
According to a White House fact sheet, “The Biden Administration gave billions in taxpayer dollars to left-wing groups that facilitated mass illegal migration and provided legal services to challenge deportation orders.”
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that taxpayers spend a staggering $182 billion annually on illegal aliens and their children.
Since January 2021, illegal immigration has cost American taxpayers an estimated $451 billion.
These figures underscore the urgent need for action to protect American taxpayers and preserve resources for citizens in need.
FAIR President Dan Stein stated, “It is clear that access to the vast array of public benefits that have been made available to illegal aliens has been a driving force behind years of record illegal immigration and the crushing burdens it has imposed on American taxpayers.”
To implement this order effectively, President Trump has enlisted the help of the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk.
This department is tasked with identifying federal funding sources for illegal aliens and recommending actions to align spending with the order.
Agencies must refer improper benefits to the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for appropriate action.
The executive order also calls for enhanced eligibility verification systems to exclude illegal aliens from benefits.
This measure aims to close loopholes that have allowed unauthorized access to taxpayer-funded resources, ensuring that American citizens’ needs are prioritized.
President Trump’s decisive action sends a clear message: America will no longer tolerate the misuse of taxpayer funds to support illegal immigration.
This executive order is a crucial step towards restoring fiscal responsibility, enforcing immigration laws, and protecting the interests of hardworking American citizens.
