DOJ rules all states with federal welfare programs must report illegal immigrants

Should be easy, seeing as I've been assured countless times that illegal aliens were ineligible for federal welfare programs.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that it has released a new legal opinion that clarifies state reporting requirements of illegal migrants who are enrolled in welfare programs, such as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel’s opinion withdraws a Clinton-era opinion that only required the welfare programs themselves to report undocumented migrants. The new one widens that to make it necessary for all states enrolled in TANF or the Supplemental Security Income program.
“Congress wrote this requirement plainly,” Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said in a statement. “When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States.
"Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders," he added.

Why? What does this matter to states openly disobeying federal law?

The embarrassment factor for one. Just watch how many - and which - states refuse to turn over this information.

If this were against we civilians, it would mean that more individuals would be held accountable for the violations.
But we are talking about gov beurocrats who rarely see consequences.
Essentially, it's gov doing what gov does. Throwing down more rules, and assuming people who don't follow them will decide to follow them.

This is good. My only question is why did it take this long?
