Undocumented children will no longer be able to access federally funded Head Start programs for low-income families, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced on Thursday as part of a sweeping redefinition of eligibility for the scheme.
“For too long, the government has diverted hardworking Americans’ tax dollars to incentivize illegal immigration,” Kennedy said in a statement. “Today’s action changes that—it restores integrity to federal social programs, enforces the rule of law, and protects vital resources for the American people.”
