Dr. Rand Paul Introduces the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 4th, 2025 Contact: Press_Paul@paul.senate.gov , 202-224-4343 Senator Paul Introduces the End Welfare for Non Citizens Act WASHINGTON DC – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is introducing the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act, legislation intended to end the appropriation of taxpayer-funded benefits, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and any other federal benefit, subsidy, or service, to refugees, asylees, or immigrants present in the United States without legal status. “With a national debt exceeding $38 trillion, Washington should not be running a welfare system on autopilot,” said Dr. Paul. “The End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act puts America First by stopping taxpayer dollars from being siphoned into benefits for non-citizens. If we want a sustainable safety net and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars, this bill is a must-pass.” The recent massive fraud scheme in Minnesota, which federal prosecutors estimate could reach $9 billion, demonstrates how severely oversight of the welfare system has failed. Protecting the American taxpayer from theft and finally turning off the spigot of out-of-control waste has never been more important.
