By the authority of the President, Executive Order 14218 aims to stop taxpayer money from supporting illegal immigration by reinforcing the laws set by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Federal agencies are tasked with identifying and adjusting programs that wrongfully provide benefits to illegal immigrants. The order mandates enhanced verification systems to ensure only qualified individuals receive taxpayer-funded benefits, and any misuse of resources should be reported to the appropriate authorities for action. The order also emphasizes adhering to the law and clarifies that it does not grant any new legal rights or benefits.
Simple Explanation
In this document, the President says that the government should make sure it doesn't accidentally give money or help to people who aren't supposed to get it, like some who come from other countries without permission. The President wants everyone to check more carefully who gets help, so it's only for those who are meant to have it.
