    Trump signs executive order cutting all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants

    “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.

    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.”

    This will save us Billions also, it's so nice to have a President looking out for America and its citizens

    Weird post. Try to stay on topic though, buddy. I posted an image of a right-wing criminal who receives government benefits, since a poster I quoted said only Dems did such.

    Could you please make more of an effort to direct your comments to my posting? In this case there is a photo of a right-wing criminal receiving govt benefits. What are your thoughts on that?

    On paper you guys will cheer but just a reminder here is what immigrants are eligible for.. notice who is offered help. Which of these programs are we really pissed about? WIC? School lunches? Emergency care?

    Available to Immigrants:
    • WIC: Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children which is food that goes to infants and children so they don’t starve in the US
    • School lunches feed kids
    • Emergency room care is self explanatory
    • Short term access to shelters and soup kitchens
    Here is what is not available:
    • Social security
    • Medicare
    • Medicaid
    • Unemployment
    • Almost everything else is also restricted since the 90’s

    Please show us what government benefits are currently available to illegal immigrants as I don't really find any. I can find benefits to immigrants that are here legally.

    Fine by me. If they are here legally for asylum, the policy is messed up because we don’t have judges, lawyers, and juries lined up to perform a speedy trial. Have to work both ends of this cluster.

    So you have zero information of the existence of public benefits for illegal immigrants. We all knew it, but at least posters should be given the chance to prove their crap. Be better.

    I believe we are now experiencing HTDS … hype Trump derangement syndrome!

    Perhaps ETDS or PTDS or ITDS …

    Extreme, Profound, and Incurable

    Cruelty isn't a bug. It's a feature. Undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for government benefits except in life saving cases. Take those away, and then what?

    if they are here illegally they are not entitled to free money and I have no problem with cutting it off and putting them on the first plane back to where they came from
