Donald Trump made his strongest move against illegal immigration yet on Wednesday, signing an executive order that stops taxpayer money from going to undocumented migrants.
The White House fact sheet stated that Trump is ‘committed to safeguarding Federal public benefits for American citizens who are truly in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.’
On the border, Trump is demanding ‘corrective action’ to stop ‘all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens,’ according to the order.
Currently, children are entitled to a free K-12 public education regardless of immigration status under a 1982 Supreme Court ruling.
Trump also took note of a 1996 law overhauling welfare benefits that denies most illegal migrants public benefits that says ‘over the last four years, the prior administration repeatedly undercut’ it.
