Dems Want Medicaid For Millions Of Biden-Era Migrants But Use Sneaky Wordplay To Pretend They Don’t
Brianna Lyman


The federal government shut down on Wednesday after Democrats refused to vote on a clean continuing resolution to keep the government funded for the next seven weeks. When Republicans pointed out that Democrats were unwilling to vote to fund the government without restoring health care eligibility for illegal aliens, the media and other Democrats jumped into action, “fact-checking” Republicans and claiming that wasn’t true.

These “fact checks” rely on the ludicrous claim that foreign citizens who were dumped into the United States by the millions by the Biden administration via blanket parole grants are not really “illegal” aliens.

Democrats refused to fund the government without a funding proposal that would, in part, rescind Subtitle B in Title VII of the One Big Beautiful Bill. That section had narrowed the eligibility requirements for government health care benefits (like Medicaid), restricting eligibility for certain foreign nationals, such as the 2.8 million otherwise inadmissible aliens who received blanket parole into the United States from the Biden administration.

But rather than acknowledge that Democrats’ proposal would extend federal health care to parolees, leftist mouthpieces insist that those millions of parolees don’t count as “illegal aliens” and therefore that no illegal aliens are getting Medicaid benefits.

That’s what Neera Tanden is doing when she insists the Affordable Care Act “bans care for illegal aliens.”

Has Trump issued an Executive Order repealing Biden's parole of illegal alien invaders?

What the Executive Order giveth, the next Executive Order can taketh.

There are no substitutes for proper laws.  Yeah, I'm talking to you Congress.  We see you lazy cowards letting Trump through all the punches and take all the hits because you don't want to get dirt under your Ivy League, Country Club pedicured finger nails.

This Congress has been more "do-nothing" than the last.  It is absolutely pitiful!

Thank you.

That is an excellent explanation of the current Democrat legerdemain (that's a fancy word for slight of hand, or else: bullsh!t).

Virtually all of the major news media and wire services are reporting today, in perfect sync with each other, that the Republicans are lying about illegals getting healthcare under the Democratic bill.

They are calling the Republican claims “false” and not in editorials but right there in their "news" articles, and state that the Congressional Budget Office, which is cited as being “non-partisan,” says that only certain categories of immigrants would be eligible for health care benefits, including those with visas, or approved asylum seekers.
