🚨 Trump just ended free college tuition for illegal immigrants.
Clinton opened the door.
Obama widened it.
Trump just slammed it shut.
Here’s what just happened — and why it matters. 🧵
2/ For decades, illegal aliens accessed taxpayer-funded education programs — including tuition-free career, technical, and adult education.
Did YOU go to college for free? Did your kids? No?
Clinton made it possible.
Bureaucrats kept it going.
Taxpayers got the bill.
3/ Trump’s Dept. of Education just issued new guidance:
❌ No more federal funds for illegals in postsecondary programs
✅ Providers must verify eligibility
🇺🇸 Funds are now reserved for American citizens and legal immigrants
4/ The move enforces PRWORA — a 1996 law meant to stop illegals from accessing federal benefits.
But Clinton-era bureaucrats deliberately carved out exceptions to sneak illegals back in.
Trump is ending the end-run.
5/ The White House estimates this change — combined with new restrictions at HHS and the Labor Dept — will:
💰 Save taxpayers $40 billion
🏛️ Reverse decades of bureaucratic defiance
🇺🇸 Put Americans first in federal funding
6/ Education Secretary Linda McMahon put it simply:
“Hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens.”
That includes ESL programs, workforce grants, and more.
