President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday aimed at eliminating the federal interests of undocumented immigrants in the United States, describing the benefits as inappropriate use of taxpayer resources.
It was not immediately clear which programs would be affected by the instructions. It also directed agencies and departments to identify federally funded benefits for illegal people in the United States.
According to the National Center for Immigration Law, undocumented immigrants are rarely eligible for federal benefits.
The order was made to immigrants, including an order that prevents Trump from illegally going to the US since the start of his second term and ensuring he cracks down on undocumented immigrants within the country. It was the latest in action.
Trump's latest order will ensure federal funds are “not used to encourage or support illegal immigration, the White House said, and also supports departments and agencies with “sanctuary” policies. Instructs that federal funds are not used to do so.
The label usually applies to states, counties, or cities where there is a limit to cooperation with federal agencies deporting undocumented immigrants.
Without providing details, the White House said Wednesday that undocumented immigrants are eligible for various federal welfare programs, and that the Biden administration has billions to support people who have entered the country illegally. He accused him of spending it.
Undocumented immigrants contribute tens of millions of people to the social security system, according to an analysis published last year by the Institute for Tax Economic Policy, a left-leaning tax audit group.
