PROMOTING SELF-SUFFICIENCY: President Donald J. Trump is enforcing existing restrictions on welfare use by non-citizens in order to promote self-sufficiency.
- President Trump signed a memorandum to ensure agencies fully enforce restrictions in place under current law on the use of income-based welfare programs by non-citizens.
- Under current law, individuals sponsoring a non-citizen must take on financial responsibility for any income-based welfare benefits they receive.
- The President is directing agencies to issue guidance to ensure income-based welfare payments are recovered from the sponsor.
- Agencies will ensure sponsors are advised of their financial obligations under the law.
- Cases where the sponsor fails to pay the lawfully required reimbursements will be referred for collection procedures in accordance with the law.
- The national policy signed into law by President Clinton in 1996 made clear that aliens should "not depend on public resources to meet their needs."
- President Clinton signed legislation to require that the sponsor of a non-citizen be requested to reimburse any income-based welfare benefits the non-citizen receives.
- This legislation, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, was supported by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA).
- President Clinton also signed legislation requiring the sponsor's financial resources to be considered when determining whether a non-citizen is eligible for income-based welfare.
- This legislation, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, was supported by top Congressional Democrats.
- Vast numbers of non-citizens and their families take advantage of our welfare programs.
- 78 percent of households headed by a non-citizen with no more than a high school education use at least one welfare program.
- 58 percent of all households headed by a non-citizen use at least one welfare program.
- 50 percent of all non-citizen headed households include at least one person who receives health insurance through Medicaid.
- Welfare payments to sponsored aliens put further stress on our Nation's safety net programs.
- Under our current immigration system, two-thirds of immigrants entering the United States do so based on family ties rather than on skill or merit.
- This follows the President's proposed housing rule that would require verification of the immigration status of anyone who seeks to access housing benefits.
- A merit-based immigration system would further ensure that immigrants make positive contributions to the United States.
- Americans widely agree with the President, with around 73 percent of Americans supporting requirements that immigrants be able to support themselves financially.
