A new executive order from President Donald Trump, among the latest in his long list of dozens of actions he’s taken to protect America from illegal aliens and the transgender ideology, and to cut government waste and fraud, puts a bull’s-eye on the taxpayer money being used to “incentivize or support” illegal immigration. The idea is to make certain “taxpayer resources are used to protect the interests of American citizens, not illegal aliens,” said the order, which also cited statistics from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. That group said American taxpayers are being forced to pay at least $182 billion a year to cover the expenses of 20 million illegal aliens and their children, including more than $66 billion in federal expenses and $115 billion paid by states and local governments. Further, the Center for Immigration Studies reported 1 million illegal aliens could cost American taxpayers $3 billion a year through welfare programs to which they are not supposed to have access under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. But illegal aliens who are granted parole become “qualified aliens,” allowing access to various benefits. Further, the Congressional Budget Office reported federal and state taxpayers handed over more than $16.2 billion to give Medicaid-funded emergency services to illegal aliens. A report from the Washington Examiner said the order directs all federal agencies and departments to identify benefits funded by taxpayers that illegal immigrants get and “take corrective action.” Eligibility verification also will be stepped up to block benefits being distributed to those in the nation illegally. The U.S. House Homeland Security Committee reported earlier that illegal aliens have drained some $450 billion from public funds over the past four or five years, and FEMA has delivered more than $1 billion to illegals over the say time period. “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.
