U.S. Senator Rand Paul: "End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act"

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act on January 15, 2026, a legislative effort aimed at restricting federal welfare benefits to non-citizens. The bill seeks to end taxpayer-funded benefits for individuals who are not U.S. citizens, including illegal immigrants, refugees, asylees, and other non-citizens without legal status. U.S. Senator Paul emphasized that the legislation is designed to prioritize American citizens amid growing concerns over national debt and welfare fraud.
