Democrats claim that only state funds are used for Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants, but this is a lie. Federal funds are involved, making it an outrage that taxpayers are forced to fund healthcare for people with no right to be in the country.
The economic impact of undocumented workers is significant, as they fill jobs that domestic workers often avoid.
Undocumented workers in the U.S. are the most flexible, profitable workforce in history. They take jobs domestic workers don't want, work hard, and don't rely on unemployment insurance or Social Security when jobs dry up.
Illegal immigrants are allowed to enroll in Medicaid, despite claims to the contrary. States like New York, Massachusetts, and California explicitly provide Medicaid coverage for illegals, including primary care.
In the United States, there are roughly 10 million people who are citizens in all but name. They pay taxes, own property, and contribute to Social Security, yet they live in a state of uncertainty about their legal status. This denigration risks much more than most Americans understand.
There is a debate over providing healthcare to undocumented immigrants, with some arguing it burdens the system.
Undocumented workers have various documents to function in society, highlighting the complexity of immigration issues.
The suggestion to deport all undocumented individuals in the U.S. is seen as extreme, and there should be a pathway to citizenship for those who have contributed to society.
The U.S. spends $170 billion on deportation efforts, more than what is spent on child care or school lunches. This highlights a misalignment in priorities, focusing more on expelling undocumented workers than supporting children.
Congressman Eric Burleson of Missouri highlighted a scheme in California where managed care companies are taxed, only to have that money returned to them. This allows California to pull down federal dollars, resulting in nearly $4 billion spent on Medicaid for illegal immigrants.
