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
