US EditionPaul Introduces Legislation to Halt Welfare Funding for Non-Citizens
- On Saturday, the U.S. Senate failed to halt over $5 billion in refugee funding as 20 GOP senators joined all Senate Democrats to keep aid in place.
- Earlier this week, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., introduced the End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act to stop taxpayer funding for non-citizen benefits, with Paul's office citing a national debt exceeding $38 trillion.
- For refugees, ORR offers up to 12 months of Refugee Cash Assistance and Refugee Support Services including childcare, job training, SNAP, Medicaid, CHIP and federal student aid.
- The funding outcome ties to HHS-run refugee assistance programs, as Congress increased appropriations despite President Donald Trump suspending refugee admissions in January 2025.
- Funding trends show a sharp post-2021 increase as funding for refugee programs jumped from $1.91 billion in fiscal year 2021 to $8.92 billion last year, with congressional appropriations totaling roughly $30 billion over four years.
