C-007 - Section 6
ORR is owned as a domestic lane, not an overseas add-on
Refugee and entrant assistance stays in one canonical domestic section so it is not double-counted against foreign-assistance accounts.
C-008 - Section 6
ORR provider capture remains a first-class unresolved limitation
The public record identifies the ORR lane but does not yet publish a defensible entrant-versus-provider split.
C-009 - Section 7
Emergency Medicaid is measurable on a federal-plus-state basis, not a federal-only basis
Section 7 preserves the measurable lane while carrying the missing federal-only share as an explicit open question.
C-011 - Section 9
SSI is one of the clearest direct-cash domestic lanes
The current edition relies on SSA-published noncitizen recipient and payment inputs while preserving the point-in-time limitation.
C-012 - Section 10
Housing eligibility rules already exclude many ineligible uses through Section 214 and proration
Section 10 is strongest on program mechanics, not on a missing published eligible-noncitizen outlay total.
C-013 - Section 11
K-12 and student-aid analysis is constrained by legal collection limits and eligibility structure
Section 11 treats missing education spending ledgers as a real transparency limit rather than something to impute.
C-014 - Section 12
State-administered federal dollars add zero net-new dollars by design
Section 12 is a routing and reconciliation lens that guards against double counting once federal money passes through state systems.
C-015 - Section 13
The gap register is itself a finding, not an empty placeholder
Section 13 names programs where the record does not support a defensible citizenship breakout and refuses to fabricate missing values.
C-018 - Section 16
The final argument inherits the same basis rules and evidence limits
Section 16 does not create a new theory of the numbers; it restates bounded findings from the locked sections.
