A coalition of 15 states have filed suit against the Biden-Harris regime over its new rule that will require states to pay public benefits to illegal immigrants, including healthcare benefits.
The rule, which is set to go into effect on November 1, would force states “to expend limited resources on illegal immigrants,” said Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey in a press release Thursday.
“Not only is the Biden-Harris Administration responsible for bringing illegal aliens into Missouri, they are also giving illegal immigrants access to citizen benefits for free, encouraging them to remain here illegally on the taxpayers’ dime,” said Bailey. “The American people are already struggling to make ends meet in the current economy; their paychecks should fund their own healthcare, not the healthcare of those here illegally. I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to ensure that Missourians’ hard-earned dollars are not funding illegal immigration.”
In addition to Missouri, the attorneys general of Alabama, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Virginia have joined the lawsuit.
According to Bailey, “there are 77,000 to 104,000 illegal aliens currently residing in Missouri, costing taxpayers between approximately $342 million and $462 million per year.”
According to a report from the House Homeland Security Committee last November, the U.S. government was already spending $451 billion a year to house and care for “asylum seekers” nationwide.
The State AGs argued that the Biden-Harris regime’s definition of “lawfully present” is itself unlawful “because it violates the plain text of the federal Affordable Care Act.”
The lawsuit asserts, “In the ACA, Congress limited eligibility to participate in a qualified health plan through a subsidized health exchange to citizens or nationals of the United States and individuals ‘lawfully present’ in the United States.”
“The Final Rule amends CMS’ definition of ‘lawfully present’ for public healthcare benefits to now include unlawfully present aliens who have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Now, through the Final Rule, CMS reverses course and proclaims that DACA recipients are in fact ‘lawfully present’ for purposes of receiving taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits through the ACA,” the AGs stated.
The marxists want white people to be the new slaves.
while legal citizens are required to pay for those same benefits in violation of Section 1, 14th Amendment
“..The marxists want white people to be the new slaves....”
The middle-class, working people of all colors have been the “slaves” of govt since the passage of income and property tax laws. It’s been basically “legalized theft” from the slaves at gunpoint. /s
The courts move too damn slow to help the American people. Our only hope is Donald Trump taking the helm back from these communist/socialist basturds in January. Can we last another 5 months?
And foolishly think they’re exempt from the monster they created.
Add to the list taxpayer-funded abortion, transgenderism mutilation, promotion of drag and homosexuality—both here and around the world. We also should not fund housing, schooling, upkeep, driver licenses and voting for illegals.
Best place for all those People made broke, woke and clueless by obumbles and crew.
Easy.
Quit taking Federal money. The Federal Government has no powers not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.
Put the Feds back in the Constitutional restraints!
Most the Federal Government agencies are Constitutional, therefore the money spent on them is misappropriated.
Time for a tax revolt.
p
We have been for a while.
NICE!!
There should be a much bigger coalition! More states need to join in.
Thx for the ping :D
Can he last long enough? Biden issued another threat against him. May God protect him because the SS aren’t.
Did you hear about one of K’s going off without telling anyone to breast feed in the restroom and a few of her family came, too. No, this was at a different rally than the one where the SS broke into a store and made themselves at home.
No big deal. The Roberts USSC will determine the states have no standing on how they must spend their money and how they can govern themselves ... you know ... like in a real Republic.
Many states in the lawsuit WILL follow Texas if they secede.
You can be sure large corporate health care pushed for the change to include DACA in Obamacare.
Speaking of medical benefits, look at this info!
Politicians Pocket BIG Bucks from Pharma:
American politicians take a lot of money from the pharmaceutical industry. A couple of years ago I wrote an article titled:
Will Politicians Ever Lower High Drug Prices?
According to OpenSecrets.org, “Contributions to All Candidates, 1990-2024
HOUSE:
Democrats received a total of $79,219,342
Republicans received a total of $97,274,295
Independents received a total of $21,670
The TOTAL contributed to Congressmen: $176,515,307
SENATE:
Democrats received a total of $46,310,070
Republicans received a total of $43,642,076
Independents received a total of $1,119,206
The Total Contributed to Senators: $92,071,352
That of course does not count the amount spent on lobbyists or litigation.
With that kind of money supporting politicians of all political persuasions, it is easy to understand why negotiating prices was a huge challenge.
The states need to start preparing for the infrastructure attacks.
we need state-wide prep’ing.
governors need to identify district leaders.
district leaders need to identify town leaders.
town leaders need to identify neighborhood leaders.
ALL need to have comms set up for when they attack the grid.
need to identify skills and production capabilities.
identify crucial goods that are not manufactured within the state.
determine if local production is possible otherwise there needs to be stockpiles.
communications between everyone in the state must be available outside the current normal avenues.
