<p>Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Friday that he&#8217;s working to cut off federal benefits to people in the United States illegally, emphasizing that those benefits should be preserved for American citizens.</p>
<p><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">&#8220;At [President Donald Trump]</span><span class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3">&#8216;s direction, we are working to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens and preserve them for U.S. citizens,&#8221; Bessent posted to X on Friday. </span></p>
<p>&#8220;[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,&#8221; he explained.</p>

<p>Bessent&#8217;s announcement was made in response to President Donald Trump declaring on Thanksgiving that he would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-blistering-thanksgiving-post-trump-promises-to-stop-migration-from-all-third-world-countries">pause all migration from third-world countries</a>.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>Americans&#8217; generosity, Trump said, has been weaponized, allowing a vast foreign-born population to overwhelm the country and inflict deep social harm.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World,…</p>

<p>In a separate post, Bessent stressed that illegal immigrants have &#8220;no place in our financial system.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Illegal aliens that use our financial institutions to move their illicitly obtained funds is exploitation, and it will end,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>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 <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab">has ended up in the hands</a> of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/minnesotas-somali-welfare-fraud-taxpayer-cash-funneled-to-terrorist-group?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Minnesota%E2%80%99s+Somali+Welfare+Fraud%3A+Taxpayer+Cash+Funneled+To+Terrorist+Group">The Daily Wire</a> reported.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Additionally, though illegals are technically banned from being direct recipients of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yes-millions-of-illegals-are-receiving-food-stamps?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Yes%2C+Millions+Of+Illegals+Are+Receiving+Food+Stamps">Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits</a> and some healthcare benefits, reports indicate millions of illegals receive these taxpayer-funded benefits.</p>
