Effort to end freebies for illegal immigrants gets a big thumbs up

Americans are rallying around provisions in President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” to make Medicaid and food stamps off limits to illegal migrants, a potential saving of millions of dollars.

While Democrats in so-called “sanctuary” cities and states, notably New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, have been arguing against stopping the taxpayer-funded aid to illegal immigrants, a surprisingly strong coalition is voicing support for the restrictions.
