Occurrences
Evidence
Senator Tom Cotton introduced the American Citizens First Act, which aims to end federal benefits such as SNAP, Medicaid, housing assistance, and student financial aid for non-U.S. citizens.
Senator Cotton's bill seeks to end federal benefits for non-citizens and includes provisions for denaturalization and expedited removal proceedings.
The American Citizens First Act text outlines the termination of federal benefits for non-citizens and other immigration-related provisions.
Assessments
Cotton introduced the American Citizens First Act, which would end federal benefits for non-citizens, but the evidence only shows proposal/introduction, not enactment or implementation. That is a serious legislative attempt, but it does not establish that the promised policy was actually delivered.
