Senator Paul Proposes Bill to Ban Federal Benefits for Refugees and Undocumented Immigrants
This bill would cut off all federal benefits for people living in the U.S. without legal status. That includes food stamps (SNAP), Medicaid, cash assistance (TANF), tax credits, and any other federal subsidies or services. While undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for most of these programs, the bill's sweeping language would close any remaining gaps and could affect emergency Medicaid, which currently covers life-threatening conditions regardless of immigration status.
