Let’s get this straight, sanctuary states are terrified they will lose federal funds because hundreds of thousands of illegals and noncitizens might remove themselves from American welfare programs.

This is the ideological contortion required by left-wing leaders to justify their defrauding of the American taxpayer at the hands of illegal criminals.

DHS has heard for months that illegal aliens weren’t using these very same welfare programs. So, which is it?

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is questioning claims about illegal immigrants not using welfare programs. They suggest sanctuary states fear losing federal funds if a large number of noncitizens leave welfare systems.
