🚨 BREAKING: President Donald J. Trump just signed an executive order to TERMINATE all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens and END the subsidization of open borders.

Here is the text of the order:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Purpose. The plain text of Federal law, including the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-193) (PRWORA), generally prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining most taxpayer-funded benefits. Title IV of the PRWORA states that it is national policy that "aliens within the Nation's borders not depend on public resources to meet their needs," and that "[i]t is a compelling government interest to remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by the availability of public benefits." But in the decades since the passage of the PRWORA, numerous administrations have acted to undermine the principles and limitations directed by the Congress through that law. Over the last 4 years, in particular, the prior administration repeatedly undercut the goals of that law, resulting in the improper expenditure of significant taxpayer resources.

My Administration will uphold the rule of law, defend against the waste of hard-earned taxpayer resources, and protect benefits for American citizens in need, including individuals with disabilities and veterans.

Sec. 2. Preserving Federal Public Benefits. (a) To prevent taxpayer resources from acting as a magnet and fueling illegal immigration to the United States, and to ensure, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that no taxpayer-funded benefits go to unqualified aliens, the head of each executive department or agency (agency) shall:

(i) identify all federally funded programs administered by the agency that currently permit illegal aliens to obtain any cash or non-cash public benefit, and, consistent with applicable law, take all appropriate actions to align such programs with the purposes of this order and the requirements of applicable Federal law, including the PRWORA;

(ii) ensure, consistent with applicable law, that Federal payments to States and localities do not, by design or effect, facilitate the subsidization or promotion of illegal immigration, or abet so-called "sanctuary" policies that seek to shield illegal aliens from deportation; and

(iii) enhance eligibility verification systems, to the maximum extent possible, to ensure that taxpayer-funded benefits exclude any ineligible alien who entered the United States illegally or is otherwise unlawfully present in the United States.

(b) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Administrator of the United States DOGE Service, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, shall further:

(i) identify all other sources of Federal funding for illegal aliens; and

(ii) recommend additional agency actions to align Federal spending with the purposes of this order, and, where relevant, enhance eligibility verification systems.

(c) Agencies shall refer any improper receipt or use of Federal benefits to the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for appropriate action.

Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Watch: An officers body camera caught the moment a woman was rescued out from her car that was burning on a freeway in Chandler, Arizona.

"Democrats are the party of war," Rob Finnerty illustrates, proven throughout both modern American history, and in the political outrage taking place over President Trump seeking to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Leaks of ICE operations are not only illegal — they’re putting the lives of ICE agents at risk.

DHS is a national security & law enforcement agency.

We will use law enforcement methods, including polygraphs, to stop the leaks and ensure the law is followed.

The legacy media goes out of their way to blame Trump for everything, including a plane crash that didn’t even occur on American soil.

Tennessee: A member of the Coopertown Police Department was injured in a crash in Cheatham County Wednesday afternoon, according to Tennessee Highway Patrol.

A preliminary crash report from THP said just after 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19, a red 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 was traveling east along Highway 49, heading toward the intersection of Highway 41A. A 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe from the Coopertown Police Department was heading west along Highway 49 toward the same intersection.

THP said the Dodge driver failed to yield the right of way and turned in front of the Coopertown police vehicle, hitting the front left side. Additionally, in-car video from the Dodge reportedly confirmed the Chevrolet had a green light at the time of the crash.

Coopertown Police Chief Tyler Haley told News 2 the officer involved in the crash was treated at the hospital for minor injuries and has already been released. Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏽

According to THP, charges are pending for the driver of the Dodge Ram 1500. Both drivers were reportedly wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
