According to a Fox News report, the Trump Administration is looking to remove illegal immigrants from more than 15 federal assistance programs, saving the American taxpayers upwards of $40 billion dollars.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital that illegal immigrants will no longer be able “to steal public benefits at the expense of hardworking American taxpayers.”
“That ends now. Under President Trump, it’s America first always,” Rogers said.
From Fox News:
The lion’s share of the programs being put off-limits to undocumented immigrants are overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services, while others fall under the Departments of Education, Agriculture, Labor, and Justice.
The White House said that several government health services – including Head Start, substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, family planning benefits, and health workforce loans and scholarships – will be inaccessible to illegal immigrants.
The move aligns with President Donald Trump’s dual campaign promise of stricter immigration enforcement and elimination of wasteful government spending.
