Congressman Randy Fine has introduced the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act, legislation designed to end the massive and reckless transfer of federal taxpayer dollars to non-citizens while Americans are buried under record debt.
The federal government is projected to spend $177 billion on welfare for non-citizens between 2024 to 2034.
Fine, whose district includes parts of Marion and Lake County, including the Historic Side of The Villages, the Marion County section of The Villages and Stonecrest, says we “cannot continue in our country while we’re currently $38 trillion in debt.”
Fine, who was sent to Congress after a special election earlier this year, said it’s time to end the “left’s runaway gravy train of freebies” for non-citizens. “Americans are being robbed,” said Congressman Randy Fine. “Somalians, illegals, and even legal immigrants are getting free handouts at the expense of American taxpayers. That is insane, it is immoral, and it must stop. Hardworking Americans should not be paying for non-citizens’ healthcare, free housing, food stamps, Medicaid, or anything else for that matter. Citizens come first. Period,” Fine continued. “My legislation will ensure that non-citizens don’t receive any government benefits from the taxpayer. If you want free stuff, then you need to go home.” The No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act will:
1. End eligibility for federal welfare benefits for all non-citizens.
2. Eliminate all loopholes and carve-outs that allow non-citizens to access taxpayer-funded welfare programs.
“Taxpayer-funded benefits are for Americans, not the world. We cannot save this country while continuing to reward illegal immigration and subsidize non-citizens with borrowed money from our children,” Fine said.
Fine is calling on his colleagues to stand with American taxpayers and move swiftly to pass the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act and send it to President Trump’s desk.
