1/ 🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s Labor Secretary just warned states — NO federal $$$ if they give unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants.
The Trump admin is CRACKING DOWN on illegal handouts.
Let’s break down how Trump is protecting YOUR tax dollars 🧵👇
2/ Unemployment benefits are for Americans.
Not for people here illegally.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer just told governors: Comply with the law — or lose federal funding.
No more subsidies for lawlessness. Not by illegals, and not by blue state officials.
3/ New rule:
States MUST use the DHS immigration database to verify EVERY applicant for unemployment benefits.
Illegal immigrants?
DENIED.
4/ Trump’s new Executive Order 14218:
“Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.”
No more free rides. No more tax-funded magnets for illegal immigration.
5/ And it gets better.
Trump’s DHS — led by Kristi Noem — gave states access to the SAVE database for FREE.
Now they can instantly verify if someone is legal to work in the U.S.
6/ This database helps:
- Federal agencies
- State governments
- Local governments
No excuses anymore. States can block illegal immigrants from taking benefits meant for Americans.
And now they have to.
7/ Why now?
A recent report found THOUSANDS of illegal aliens (some on the terror watchlist!!!) were getting Medicaid and unemployment.
It's likely to be FAR more than that. DOGE is on the case.
This is YOUR money — stolen. Money that could go to law-abiding Americans.
8/ Trump’s response?
- Cut them off.
- Punish states that allow it.
- Protect American workers.
This is what real leadership looks like.
