What it means
Directs federal agencies to identify and restrict programs that allow undocumented immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded benefits. Agencies must verify eligibility more strictly and ensure federal funding doesn't support sanctuary policies for those in the country illegally.
Expected impact
- Tightened verification systems for government benefits to exclude undocumented immigrants
- Potential reduction in federal funding to states and localities with sanctuary policies
- Possible legal challenges from immigration advocates and affected jurisdictions
- Increased referrals to the Department of Justice and Homeland Security for enforcement
- Likely budget savings from reduced benefits to ineligible recipients
