President Trump is expected to sign an EO banning all federal taxpayer benefits across all agencies as soon as tonight. (See X post below the body of this post).
As clearly stated in 8 U.S.C. § 1611(a)
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law and except as provided in subsection (b), an alien who is not a qualified alien (as defined in section 1641 of this title) is not eligible for any Federal public benefit (as defined in subsection (c))"
Given that the law clearly states no ineligible aliens are eligible for federal taxpayer benefits, Trump is well within his purview to ban most of these benefits to illegal immigrants.
