Directed by President Trump, this move aims to preserve approximately $40 billion in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-outline-failing-democrat-policies\/\" title=\"House GOP outline failing Democrat policies\">taxpayer-funded benefits<\/a> exclusively for American citizens and overturns decades of previous policies. The action builds on a February executive order citing the 1996 welfare reform law, which generally prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving most public benefits to discourage illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Key federal departments-including Health and Human Services (HHS), Education, Agriculture, and Labor-have issued guidance to implement this directive. Consequently,programs such as Head start,access to community health clinics,career and technical education,Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),and federal workforce growth resources are no longer available to people in the country illegally. Officials emphasized that this change restores integrity to social programs, enforces the rule of law, protects resources for American taxpayers, and prioritizes legal residents in government-funded programs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration announced Thursday that it was ending education, food, and health benefits for people in the country illegally.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Today, at the direction of President Donald J.
