Article Body: 

The Department of Justice is closing a Democrat-created bureaucratic loophole that has allowed legal and illegal migrants [illegal alien invaders] to get a huge quantity of taxpayer aid since 1997, despite a 1996 law limiting aid to citizens.

The loophole was created by... Bill Clinton's administration after Congress passed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), which was intended to "strengthen… the principle that [legal and illegal] immigrants come to America to work, not to collect welfare benefits."

“We now retract that [1997] opinion and offer the best reading of the phrase 'Federal means-tested public benefit,'" President Donald Trump's Justice Department said on December 16.

The new rule means that legal and illegal migrants will not be able to claim welfare, food stamps, housing, or healthcare subsidies, and many other aid programs. The aid cutoff will likely force more illegals - especially families - back home because many cannot earn enough money to afford housing, food, healthcare, and other expenses in the United States.

The reduced number of migrants [illegal alien invaders] will help raise Americans' wages, reduce their rents, and encourage sidelined Americans to seek jobs...
