President Donald Trump on Wednesday night ordered the federal government to cease allowing taxpayer dollars to “facilitate” illegal immigration.
The president in his executive order directed that “taxpayer resources” and “taxpayer-funded benefits” should be blocked from going to “illegal aliens” and ordered that federal payments to states must not “facilitate the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration.”
The order also says taxpayer dollars should not “abet so-called ‘sanctuary’ policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation.” It further states that federal agencies should enhance their eligibility verifications “to the maximum extent possible” to ensure that tax-funded benefits are not directed toward illegal aliens.
“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,” Trump said in the order.
