TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CUTS $40 BILLION IN BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping policy change to end taxpayer-funded benefits for undocumented immigrants, affecting an estimated $40 billion in federal programs.
The administration says the move will block access to certain education, food assistance, and healthcare programs that were previously available under federal or state provisions. Officials argue the change will ensure that “American resources are reserved for American citizens.”
Critics, however, warn the policy could affect families with mixed immigration status and disrupt local community programs. Supporters say it delivers on Trump’s long-standing promise to curb illegal immigration and protect taxpayer funds.
