The Biden administration claims it cares about the American people. But their actions clearly prove otherwise.
Because a new Biden-Harris proposal sees more money stolen from American taxpayers.
In a move that has drawn sharp criticism from conservatives and concerned citizens alike, the Biden-Harris administration has proposed a new rule that would allow illegal immigrants to access taxpayer-funded college preparatory programs initially designed to assist low-income American citizens.
This controversial proposal is viewed by many as another instance of the administration prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants over American citizens.
The new rule from the Biden-Harris Department of Education seeks to extend eligibility for federal TRIO programs to include illegal immigrants who qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
These TRIO programs, which were originally intended to support low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities, help participants progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
“The proposed changes would expand eligibility to include students without immigration status,” the proposed rule states. This expansion would effectively open the door for DACA recipients, who are in the country illegally, to benefit from programs funded by American taxpayers.
Representative Jim Banks (R-IN) has been vocal in his opposition to the proposed rule, arguing that it would divert essential resources from American citizens to illegal immigrants. “The Biden-Harris administration’s proposal would take college preparatory aid away from American citizens and give it to illegal aliens,” Banks asserted.
He emphasized the need for legislative action to protect the interests of American families, referencing his American Students First Act, which aims to ensure that taxpayer-funded programs are reserved for U.S. citizens.
Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, also criticized the proposed rule. Foxx highlighted the numerous challenges currently facing students and the education system, including rising costs, a botched FAFSA rollout, and rampant anti-Semitism on college campuses.
“But what is the Biden administration focused on? Siphoning resources away from low-income American citizens by stretching college-prep programs thin to cover illegal immigrants,” Foxx stated.
The proposed rule comes amid the largest surge in illegal immigration in American history, with over 10 million people unlawfully crossing the border during the Biden-Harris administration.
Additionally, an estimated 1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways have been recorded since January 2021, reflecting the administration’s failure to effectively manage border security.
Public opinion surveys indicate that a growing number of Americans favor reducing immigration and increasing deportations. Illegal immigration has emerged as a critical issue for voters as the November election approaches.
The Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies, seen by many as overly lenient and ineffective, have contributed to the perception that the administration is not prioritizing the needs and security of American citizens.
Critics argue that the proposed rule to extend TRIO program eligibility to illegal immigrants will exacerbate existing challenges within the education system. By diverting resources away from low-income American students, the administration risks undermining the very purpose of these programs.
The expansion of eligibility to illegal immigrants could strain already limited resources, making it more difficult for American citizens to access the support they need to succeed academically.
Moreover, the proposal raises questions about the administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that taxpayer funds are used to benefit American citizens.
By prioritizing the interests of illegal immigrants, the Biden-Harris administration appears to be neglecting its duty to serve and protect the interests of its own citizens.
The Biden-Harris administration’s proposed rule to allow illegal immigrants access to taxpayer-funded college preparatory programs represents a significant shift in policy that has sparked considerable controversy.
Critics, including key Republican figures, argue that this move will divert essential resources away from American citizens, exacerbating existing challenges within the education system and undermining the purpose of federal TRIO programs.
As the nation grapples with unprecedented levels of illegal immigration and the Biden-Harris administration’s perceived failure to effectively manage border security, this latest proposal only adds to the growing list of concerns among American citizens.
The administration’s focus on extending benefits to illegal immigrants, at the expense of American citizens, underscores the need for a reassessment of priorities and a commitment to upholding the rule of law.
