Federal Policies Tighten Access for Undocumented Immigrants
Recent actions by various federal agencies have resulted in stricter restrictions on undocumented immigrants accessing taxpayer-funded programs. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced a ban on illegal aliens from utilizing its services, which include health benefits. Similarly, the Department of Labor is moving to prevent illegal immigrants from participating in workforce programs. The Trump administration has also ended free tuition for undocumented students through its education policies, and new legislation is being introduced to block college preparation programs for these individuals. These policy shifts reflect a broader trend towards limiting federal support for undocumented immigrants across multiple sectors.
