Trump, the Administration is taking the biggest step in more than 30 years to protect taxpayer-funded benefits for American citizens \u2014 NOT illegal aliens,\u201d the White House said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>The administration specifically highlighted actions by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to limit illegal immigrants\u2019 access to 13 public programs, as well as the Department of Education\u2019s decision to end free tuition for undocumented students in certain career education programs.<\/p>\n<p>The Departments of Agriculture, Labor, and Justice have also taken steps to restrict illegal immigrants\u2019 access and close loopholes that allowed their enrollment.<\/p>\n<p>These coordinated efforts are part of the Trump administration\u2019s broader strategy to encourage self-deportation, including cutting off illegal immigrants\u2019 access to public programs and funding voluntary relocation initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Former President Biden\u2019s climate czar, John Kerry,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/usajournal.news\/2025\/07\/10\/john-kerry-admits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acknowledged<\/a>\u00a0in a Thursday interview that Trump was \u201cright\u201d about the border, admitting that Democrats had allowed it to fall into disarray.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing any president should say, any president, or anybody in public life, is, without a border protected, you don\u2019t have a nation \u2014 I believe that. If you\u2019re going to define your nation, you have to have a border that means something,\u201d Kerry said during an interview on BBC\u2019s \u201cReflections\u201d podcast. \u201cWe have a system. I wish President Biden had been heard more often saying, \u2018I\u2019m going to enforce the law.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kerry served as Secretary of State under former President Barack Obama and was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004\u2014losing to George W. Bush. BBC correspondent James Naughtie, during the interview, noted that Trump would likely seize on Kerry\u2019s comments to claim he was right about the border issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was right,\u201d Kerry responded. \u201cThe problem is we all should have been right. Everybody should have been right, doing the same thing, all moving in the same direction. They just allowed the border to continue to be sieged, under siege,\u201d Kerry added.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div id=\"gform_wrapper_16\" class=\"gf_browser_unknown gform_wrapper gform-theme gform-theme--foundation gform-theme--framework gform-theme--orbital gpoll_enabled_wrapper gpoll_wrapper\" data-form-theme=\"orbital\" data-form-index=\"0\">\n<div id=\"gf_16\" class=\"gform_anchor\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gform_heading\">\n<p class=\"gform_required_legend\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"gform_16\" class=\"gpoll_enabled gpoll\" action=\"https:\/\/usajournal.news\/2025\/07\/10\/trump-admin-removes\/#gf_16\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" method=\"post\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"gform_ajax_frame_16\" data-formid=\"16\">\n<div class=\"gform-body gform_body\">\n<div id=\"gform_fields_16\" class=\"gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_below description_below validation_below\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, the Trump administration highlighted its efforts to remove illegal immigrants from public benefits programs in order to preserve and ensure better access for American citizens. \u201cToday, at the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15343"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15345,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15343\/revisions\/15345"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
