Summary
The Department of Justice just dropped a major legal opinion that could reshape how states handle undocumented immigrants — and it’s all about federal funding. To keep receiving billions in aid for programs like TANF, states now must report known undocumented residents to Homeland Security. This reverses a 1998 interpretation and reasserts Congress’s original intent: taxpayer money shouldn’t subsidize illegal immigration. Noncompliance risks losing critical funds — but this only applies to future enrollments, not past ones. With every state, D.C., and key territories involved, the stakes are huge. Now, watch out — some big states may challenge this new rule, setting the stage for legal showdowns. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
