Three Key Takeaways:
- Kristi Noem took a strong stance on illegal immigration, announcing that the “gravy train is over” for illegal aliens, as the Trump administration rolls back taxpayer-funded benefits, including public housing.
- The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to ensure illegal aliens are removed from public housing, prioritizing American citizens.
- Noem’s message to illegal aliens is clear: they should leave the U.S. now, as the government works to end the misallocation of resources that had been used to provide financial benefits to those here illegally.
Kristi Noem is spearheading the crackdown on illegal immigration.
She put her foot down about one awful problem.
And Kristi Noem spoke five words to illegal aliens that sent them running scared.
The Trump administration bans illegal aliens from receiving public housing
Former President Joe Biden rolled out the welcome mat and offered illegal aliens everything under the sun if they made it to the United States.
Biden’s taxpayer-funded giveaways served as a magnet for illegal aliens.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are working together to prevent illegal aliens from receiving public housing.
HUD and DHS will share data to identify illegal aliens in public housing and work together to remove them.
A Memorandum of Understanding between the two agencies was signed to end this “wasteful misappropriation” of taxpayer money.
“We will safeguard precious taxpayer resources, and we will stop the harmful practices of the former Biden administration, which favored and prioritized illegal aliens over American citizens in the expenditure of housing funds and subsidies,” the memo between the agencies stated.
It noted that pulling the plug on taxpayer-subsidized housing would encourage illegal aliens to leave the country.
“American tax dollars should be used for the benefit of American citizens, especially when it comes to an issue as pressing as our nation’s housing crisis,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said. “We will continue to work closely with DHS to maximize our resources and put American citizens first.”
The Biden administration spent tens of millions of dollars providing housing for illegal aliens, including paying for free hotel stays.
The government gravy train is coming to an end for illegal aliens
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had a blunt message for illegal aliens.
“If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now,” Noem said. “The gravy train is over.”
The Trump administration has made it a point to roll back the taxpayer-funded benefits that Biden was doling out to illegal aliens.
Federal agencies were giving illegal aliens money to buy cars and homes and start businesses during the Biden administration.
“The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally,” Noem added.
A study by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 59% of households with illegal aliens were on at least one welfare program, costing taxpayers as much as $42 billion every year.
There are roughly nine million people who live in public housing nationwide, according to HUD.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending all taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal aliens.
Noem said the free ride on the government’s dime for them was coming to an end.
“The entire government will work together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally,” Noem stated.
American taxpayers had to fork over their hard-earned money to pay for illegal aliens while they were suffering from Biden’s inflation.
That scam is coming to an end under Donald Trump.
