    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.

This change aims to reduce costs, fraud, and inefficiencies while increasing the security of federal payments. The order mandates that all federal payments, including benefits, tax refunds, and vendor payments, be processed electronically, with exceptions for certain situations like emergencies or national security. The Secretary of the Treasury, along with other agencies, is tasked with ensuring a smooth transition by supporting affected individuals and promoting public awareness of the new system.
