This Senate Republican Wants to Block Illegal Immigrants from Public Benefits.
New legislation to restrict access to public benefits for individuals illegally residing in the United States has been put forward by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT). Lee’s proposal, referred to as the “America First Act,” seeks to amend the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act.The bill would bar illegal immigrants in the U.S., including asylum seekers and individuals granted parole, from being eligible for various public benefits.
The bill is part of a broader effort coordinated by President-elect Donald J. Trump and Congressional Republicans to end incentives for foreign nationals to enter and stay in the country illegally.In effect, Lee’s legislation could result in many of those in the U.S. illegally self-deporting to their home country.
“Millions of illegal immigrants ‘paroled’ into the United States, many for fraudulent asylum claims,have gained the ability to access welfare and aid programs originally designed to help American families, not attract and support massive populations of foreign citizens,” Sen. Lee said in a statement announcing the bill. The Utah Republican continued:“The America First Act pulls the plug on this criminal redistribution scheme forced upon the American peopleby Joe Biden and generations of dishonest politicians.
”Lee’s proposal complements plans made by Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, to deport the 11 to 20 million illegal immigrants currently unlawfully residing in the U.S. On Monday, Homan met with New York Democrat Mayor Eric Adams to discuss how local and state officials can aid the initial phase of deportations targeting primarily violent illegals.

Why wasn't this done years ago? Also they need to penalize and stop the NGOs bringing them in, which they still are. And what are they going to do with the UN doling out money the US gives them, to illegals? This only kicks in when they get in the country. So when deporting them, there are tons of attorneys that sue the US to keep them here. Our laws are not defined adequately, but no one thought the President would break all the laws to try to get Dems elected again. They lost but we still have the problem of them flooding in.
