It’s about time someone in Washington put American taxpayers first. For years, the welfare system has been a bottomless pit—shoveling out money while politicians look the other way. Now, finally, Senator Bernie Moreno is saying enough is enough. His new bill could slap a stunning $100,000 fine on welfare recipients who send cash overseas. You read that right. A six-figure penalty for shipping your government handout to another country.
And let’s not pretend this is a small problem. Every year, well over $200 billion leaks out of the United States to places like Mexico, India, Guatemala, the Philippines, and China. That’s money drained from our economy—money coming straight from the pockets of hardworking Americans. Instead of building jobs here at home, that cash funnels away, propping up foreign economies and who-knows-what else.

Liberals love to scream about compassion and fairness, but where’s the fairness to American taxpayers? The left’s open-door, blank-check welfare mindset has only created a toxic culture of exploitation and entitlement. Welfare is supposed to be a safety net for struggling Americans, not a global ATM for anyone with an overseas bank account. When dollars meant for food and rent start funding mansions and criminal cartels abroad, the system is broken beyond repair.
This bill is common sense. If you’ve got enough money to wire funds across the border, you don’t belong on welfare. Every dollar wasted is another slap in the face to folks working two jobs just to make ends meet. It’s time to stop rewarding fraudulent behavior and start protecting American interests. Washington elites and globalists might groan, but ordinary Americans are cheering. They’re fed up with being taken for suckers.
Enough cowardly excuses. If the left wants to preach “America first,” it’s time they prove it. Does anyone actually believe taxpayers should bankroll handouts just so cash can disappear overseas? If that’s not insanity, what is?
