The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) warned governors across the U.S. and overseas territories to prevent illegal migrants from claiming unemployment benefits. They will risk losing federal grants.
“[I]t is critical that we ensure American taxpayer dollars do not go towards encouraging or rewarding illegal immigration to the United States,” Lori Chavez-DeRemer, United States Secretary of Labor, wrote in a letter dated April 24 to each governor.
She tweeted that Unemployment benefits are not a handout for those in our country illegally.
Sen. Mike Lee tweeted in response. “Amen! Federal benefits are for U.S. citizens. Pass the America First Act!”
Congress is AWOL, and none of this will be permanent. They are enshrining nothing of the American First agenda into law.

ILLEGAL INVADERS should NOT GET ANYTHING from the U.S. Taxpayers, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Common sense is NOT the left’s ‘forte’…their way or the ‘gulag’ highway…
Oh here we go. Some nutjob abomination “judge” will pretend they are Caesar again and block it.
It seems Mike Lee is just another one who puts the “con” in Conservative with it’s four year tax expiration ending with Trump’s term. Republican’s have become much more sneaky in their con-jobs. Of course Lee was one who came out openly against Trump’s first term agenda. Do they really expect to keep either chamber of Congress by doing nothing, especially the cuts and fraud DOGE has exposed. In doing nothing it will give the Courts even more validity and reason to rule against this Administration.
For decades Republicans have complained about the Federal Government and the need to downsize its operations. They would also say a President should be business savvy and thus could understand better how to run the Executive Branch. Well, the Republicans now have what they always dreamed of and where do they stand. Evidently in opposition. This makes them simply con men, doing nothing when they have the means to fulfill decades of promises.
Lee is suspect, he seems to act strategically to promote himself, he can go either way depending on what makes him look good. That is opportunism.
Lee at the GOP convention in 2016 came out at the microphone advocating Trump be blocked from a first ballot win. It was a show. He also was the big senate advocate for increasng tech worker importation, it took him 2 years but he got his way. My employer replaced thousands of Americans over the past 30 years with this importation.
