Trump orders agencies to crack down on immigrants taking welfare

By Stephen Dinan   - The Washington Times - Thursday, May 23, 2019 

President Trump ordered federal agencies Thursday to begin enforcing existing federal rules against ineligible immigrants collecting public benefits such as food stamps.

The move is aimed at legal immigrants who are generally supposed to prove they are able to sustain themselves without landing on the public dole.

Mr. Trump issued a directive saying that while the law is tough, agencies have not been hewing to it carefully enough.
