H135 makes illegal aliens ineligible for certain "public benefits."

The Senate passed H135 on April 1, 2025, by a vote of 26 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because illegal aliens ought to be deported from the United States. They should not be given sanctuary or residency in Idaho or elsewhere in the country, let alone receive any federal, state, or local "public benefits." Moreover, taxation in the name of "social welfare" is neither just nor charitable, for both citizen and non-citizen alike. Rather than pursue blatantly anti-American policies that undermine the rule of law and erode the true privileges and value of citizenship, each of the several States should use its sovereign powers under the 10th Amendment to stop illegal migration and provide for the public safety.
