That’s not even true. It’s branded other programs like “resettlement” programs rather than mainstream Snap or Medicaid. But even some states open that up to illegals.

Here’s one story. It’s hardly the only program given that “asylum” seekers come here with nothing and… somehow are doing better than many citizens https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/politics/trump-officials-want-fema-money-to-detain-migrants

At least rich people contribute to society via jobs and infrastructure. In way more meaningful ways than some immigrant who comes here to work low-skill labor and shutting American workers out.

I honestly forgot about that tbh, my bad. That program was authorized by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. Congress never restricted that funding to citizens though, just homeless people. These are more like emergency shelters though, and not more permanent housing like section 8 or the supportive housing program. Those two require you to have a certain type of immigration status (green card, refugee, etc)

I actually don’t know why Trump is complaining about that program now when it started under him in 2019 😭

Both of those require spending money. Rich people don’t stay rich by spending money

I read your resource. Camarato based his estimate of immigrants’ net fiscal impact by education level. Michael A. Clemens, a George Mason University economist, told PolitiFact that although the Center for Immigration Studies counted the use of public schools by immigrants in the U.S. illegally as a cost, he and other economists see public school funding as having net positive benefits.

Separately, the libertarian Cato Institute in 2023 found that "immigrants generate nearly $1 trillion (in 2024 dollars) in state, local, and federal taxes, which is almost $300 billion more than they receive in government benefits, including cash assistance, entitlements, and public education."
