President Trump is poised to make a big splash in the swamp of Washington, D.C. On Wednesday evening, he’s scheduled to sign an executive order that will end the flow of taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants. The announcement, made by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, promises that the days of subsidizing those who disregard the law are over. There will be no more federal handouts going to individuals who have entered this country without permission—an act that should have been curbed long ago.
As Trump travels back to the White House aboard Air Force One after a weekend in Florida and a speech at the FII Priority Summit in Miami, he prepares to take aim at sanctuary policies that benefit those who are not legally residing in the United States. A White House insider hinted to Fox News that this executive order will mandate federal agencies to sift through taxpayer-funded benefits and put an end to any support that inadvertently aids illegal immigration.
US “sanctuary” jurisdictions are about to have hordes of broke illegals w/ no BigFed gimmes.
Good luck w/ those budgets & crime rates.

This order also puts the spotlight on eligibility verification processes, aiming to ensure that no one who is in the country illegally can benefit from federal assistance. It appears that Trump is not just aiming to mop up the mess left by previous administrations but is instead insisting that immigration laws be respected. It’s common sense that American taxpayer dollars should be used to support American citizens, and it seems the President is ready to enforce this principle.
In addition to addressing illegal immigration, Trump is also looking to tackle federal advisory committees that have become little more than bureaucratic fiefdoms. Reports indicate that he plans to sign another executive order targeting institutions like the United States Institute of Peace and the Inter-American Foundation. This is reminiscent of his earlier move to rein in the spending of independent agencies and ensure the executive branch has oversight over their operations.
In a landscape where government waste runs rampant and taxpayers’ hard-earned money is often thrown at problems rather than solutions, Trump’s decisive actions could represent a step towards accountability. Prioritizing American citizens over undocumented immigrants and cutting the bloated bureaucratic nonsense that only serves to enrich itself could be just what this country needs. As the nation awaits the signature, the focus has decidedly shifted back to where it belongs: on the rule of law and putting America first.
