A bill to end federal benefits including Medicaid, housing assistance, student financial aid, and food stamps for noncitizens has been introduced by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) in an effort to “put American citizens first,” Breitbart News has learned.

The proposal was released on Wednesday morning, with the third-ranking Senate Republican writing in an authorization to denaturalize naturalized citizens who “undermine domestic tranquility” by participating in unlawful protests involving violence or property destruction, and to “expand expedited removal authority.”

Cotton’s bill also addresses concerns regarding Afghan nationals living in the U.S. after it was determined that the suspected shooter who attacked two members of the National Guard last week came from Afghanistan under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program.

The finances of local governments are being supported by monetary easing on the part of the People's Bank of China in an effort to prop up the sluggish economy. (Remember that fire in Hong Kong? It was caused by accepting inferior Chinese building codes and awful building materials. Chiense call this tofu construction. Much of their commercial real estate has zero value as one storm or quake could ruin everything.)
