Scott Bessent Looks to Cut Off Tax Benefits for Illegal Migrants
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday announced his department will look to cut off federal benefits to illegal aliens.In a message posted to X, Bessent said the Treasury would execute President Donald Trump’s order, which was posted across social media on Thanksgiving and took aim at a range of issues, including the “refugee burden” on America, which Trump blamed for “social dysfunction…something that did not exist after World War II.”
Trump has reacted strongly to the shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members and the subsequent death of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, blaming illegal immigration and the wider immigrant population for troubles in the United States– something he has done throughout both his administrations and one of the reasons for enacting the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Trump in his Thanksgiving message heavily criticized immigration policy in the U.S. and the benefits those immigrants receive.
Particularly, Trump described how “a migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family.”
