Administration press release: HHS Bans Illegal Aliens from Accessing its Taxpayer-Funded Programs
Another DUer has requested I re-post this here, originally (improperly, I now know) posted to LBN. It's a bit dated--July 10--and except for the request I would let it lie (get it?). However, under know-your-enemy and as a primary source (if that's the right word) view of administration policy, here 'tis:The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced a significant policy shift to restore compliance with federal law and ensure that taxpayer-funded program benefits intended for the American people are not diverted to subsidize illegal aliens.
HHS has formally rescinded a 1998 interpretation of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), issued during the Clinton Administration, which improperly extended certain federal public benefits to illegal aliens.
