Trump plans to ‘shut down’ illegal alien welfare, ‘defend’ middle class wealth
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Former President Donald Trump called for the end of welfare benefits to illegal immigrants coming into the United States.
“Crooked Joe Biden is running a non-stop conveyor belt, importing illegal aliens from all over the world into our country and the Biden Department of Homeland Security is abusing its so-called parole authority to give them more governmental benefits than many law-abiding citizens, including our vets,” Trump said.
“Under this horrendous abuse of power, millions of illegals will be eligible for billions and billions of dollars in welfare benefits, courtesy of you, the American taxpayer,” he added.
Trump said on day one of his new administration, if elected president, he would “shut down” the “travesty” and “defend the wealth” of hardworking middle class families.
“I will stop the outrageous abuse of parole authority, I will reinstate my action making illegals ineligible for public housing, we will terminate all work permits for illegals aliens and I will demand Congress send me a bill blocking any future president from abusing his power to distribute welfare benefits in this manner,” he said.
“Like automatic citizenship for children of illegal aliens, welfare is a gigantic magnet drawing people from all over the world, they want to come to the United States, they want to feast off the sweat and savings of the American taxpayer,” Trump added.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed significant legislation during the 2023 Florida Legislative Session that took a firm stance on combatting illegals immigration through disincentives such as bolstering E-Verify laws and increasing migrant transports out-of-state.
“Our Southern Border has been dealing with a manmade crisis under the ineptness of President Biden, allowing more than 6.3 million illegal immigrants to flood our border,” said Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, during an anti-illegal immigration bill signing.
“Today, under the leadership of Gov. Ron Desantis, Florida made history signing into law the strongest state-led anti-illegal immigration bill ever brought forth,” he added.
