On Thursday, Just the News posted an article about a change Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is making in taxpayer-funded benefits.

The article reports:

The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday banned illegal immigrants from accessing the agency’s taxpayer-funded benefits.

Since 1998, HHS has interpreted the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to let illegal immigrants use certain federal public benefits, according to the department. On Thursday, HHS announced that it has formally rescinded the interpretation that began under the Clinton administration.

“For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said in a statement on Thursday. “Today’s action changes that—it restores integrity to federal social programs, enforces the rule of law, and protects vital resources for the American people.”

The article lists the benefits that are impacted by this decision. The list does not include SNAP payments and housing assistance, but it is a start. We need to remember that no one can be denied emergency medical care regardless of immigration status or ability to pay, so this change will not prevent anyone from seeking medical care in an emergency.

When you observe the number of illegal immigrants who crossed our borders during the Biden administration and the fact that they were able to collect welfare benefits at taxpayer expense, you wonder why. One possible answer is the implementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy. A strategy designed to overwhelm the safety net and pave the way for a socialist revolution. According to Cloward-Piven, a federal program of income redistribution is necessary to lift the poor en masse from poverty once chaos is established. This creates permanent dependency upon government and will prevent the election of any person who wants to cut government spending.
