Trump took their demand for $1 trillion in new health spending and forced Democrats to take an indefensible position. He argued they are trying to give illegal border jumpers free healthcare, which caused them to deny they want to use Americans’ tax money to give freebies to non-citizens that citizens must pay for. The problem is, the record is packed full of Democrats insisting that illegals get healthcare. CNN, 2019:
Trump’s genius is not even that it makes Democrats look like liars —which it does, and they are— or that it ably scores GOP goals in this shutdown season’s blame game. The genius is that it is taking another 80%/20% issue and plastering it all over the headlines and talk shows. Though the backdrop is the shutdown, everybody’s talking about an issue that is a clear winner for Republicans, and which Democrats have long been on the wrong side of.
RECEIPTS: The Biden Administration Did In Fact Provide Free Healthcare to Illegal Aliens
Leftists resort to emotional hyperbole to proclaim that "illegals don't receive federal healthcare!" They don't know the facts.
The Biden Administration did, in fact, provide free healthcare to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens. Evidence from a congressional investigation in November 2024 provides the receipts. The report is available here for your own review. I have summarized the report below.
https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-11-20%20The%20Biden%20Harris%20Administration%27s%20CHNV%20Parole%20Program%20Two%20Years%20Later%20-%20A%20Fraud-Ridden%2C%20Unmitigated%20Disaster.pdf
Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela were given federal parole by the Biden administration, en masse. This arbitrary move qualified the illegals for free federal healthcare.
Democrats have shut down the government because they want to resume healthcare for illegal aliens who were “paroled” by the Biden administration.
This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't.
When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals.
It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means.
Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices.
So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war.
Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.





It’s beside the point, but … what if we sold the parks and museums to private operators? It would help pay down the debt. If we did, would there then be any way to tell when the government is shut down or not? ...
But over the weekend, President Trump directed the War Department to keep paying all military personnel despite the government shutdown. The move infuriated Democrats, who are now sullenly trying to decide whether suing the Administration to block military pay would be a winning or losing political look.
