President Trump's executive order seeks to prevent the use of federal funds for undocumented immigrants, seeking to halt benefits to them. While the order recognizes that most undocumented immigrants are already ineligible for federal benefits, some with temporary legal status can receive certain aid. Experts suggest the measure may serve more as a political statement rather than having a substantial impact, with advocates claiming it could deter lawful immigrants from accessing necessary programs due to fear of deportation, despite protections ensuring confidentiality of immigration status remain intact.
In reality, (the order) doesn't change eligibility criteria for federally funded benefit programs and does not change how any federally funded programs are currently administered.
It doesn't appear that this order will have much of an impact besides being a political statement.
