WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed a new slew of executive orders on Wednesday, including one aimed at preventing taxpayer dollars from supporting illegal immigration and one designed to get rid of regulations the administration considers "overreach."
The immigration order bars the use of federal money for migrants in the country illegally, directing all agencies to identify any federally funded programs that do so.
