Treasury Sec: We’re Cutting Off Benefits To Illegals, They Belong To Americans | Eastern NC Now

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Friday that he's working to cut off federal benefits to people in the United States illegally, emphasizing that those benefits should be preserved for American citizens.

    "At [President Donald Trump]'s direction, we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for U.S. citizens," Bessent posted to X on Friday.

    "[The United States Treasury] announced that it will issue proposed regulations clarifying that the refunded portions of certain individual income tax benefits are no longer available to illegal and other non-qualified aliens, covering the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, and the Saver's Match Credit," he explained.

    Bessent's announcement was made in response to President Donald Trump declaring on Thanksgiving that he would pause all migration from third-world countries.

    Trump also promised to "end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization."

    Americans' generosity, Trump said, has been weaponized, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm.

    Trump said the U.S. now hosts a "foreign population" of 53 million, citing census data, and charged that many recent arrivals depend on taxpayer-supported welfare programs while coming from "failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels."

    In a separate post, Bessent stressed that illegal immigrants have "no place in our financial system."

    "Illegal aliens that use our financial institutions to move their illicitly obtained funds is exploitation, and it will end," he said.

    This past week, it was uncovered that billions of taxpayer dollars have been stolen in Minnesota, during the tenure of Democrat Gov. Tim Walz. The money was reportedly funneled through fake nonprofits and shell companies, and - alarmingly - some of that money has ended up in the hands of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab, The Daily Wire reported.


    Much of the fraud has been traced to Minnesota's Somali community, where politically connected fraudsters have allegedly exploited numerous loopholes in the state's welfare system.

    Additionally, though illegals are technically banned from being direct recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and some healthcare benefits, reports indicate millions of illegals receive these taxpayer-funded benefits.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
