Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media are doing everything they can to avoid the idea that they shut down the Government over giving free healthcare to illegals. They want you to believe the Republicans are lying. The only problem is the evidence doesn’t support the Democrat’s narrative.
“This is a Democrat talking point. They say we’re not actually trying to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. And here’s why it’s not true,” Vance said on Fox News on Wednesday. “There are two Biden-era programs that explicitly gave the taxpayer health care money to illegal aliens that we turned off when President Trump took over in January.… The Democrats want to turn it back on. And in their initial proposal, the first thing that they put out to reopen the government, they actually turned that money for health care benefits for illegal aliens back on. So it’s not something that we made up. It’s not a talking point. It is in the text of the bill that they initially gave to us to reopen the government.”
The official website of the White House gives more details about the shutdown and what the Democrats want. It states the Democrats’ proposal to reopen the Government would result in almost $200 billion being spent on healthcare for illegals and other non-citizens over the next decade!
