Trump caught Democrats in a trap — torn by their Medicaid lies

This week, President Trump officially launched his push to remove illegal aliens from state Medicaid rolls by cross-checking them against federal databases, a move that’s sure to send Democrats running to the courts yet again.

But when it comes to illegal immigrants and welfare, Democrats have a serious problem — and it’s not just their continuing slide in favorability.

It’s that they just can’t make up their minds about whether those here illegally are receiving federal Medicaid dollars at all.

When Congress was debating Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, one of the left’s oft-repeated refrains was that there was no need to ban illegal aliens from Medicaid’s rolls — because giving them its benefits was already against the law.

They conveniently forgot to mention the 12 states that explicitly expanded non-emergency Medicaid coverage to illegal immigrants, and the other gaping loopholes being exploited nationwide.

But in June, Trump made a move that forced Democrats to drop the act and show their hand: His Health and Human Services Department began sharing Medicaid data from four states and Washington, DC, with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Cue the outrage.

Within days, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, New York AG Letitia James and 19 other blue states filed suit in federal court to block the data-sharing — and gave up the game in the process.

Democrats love to lie in the court of public opinion — but in a courtroom, you’ve got to tell the truth.

And by suing to stop Team Trump, they practically confessed: Illegal aliens are on Medicaid, and blue states are desperate to keep it that way.

And yet, somehow this Sikh driver so poorly understands the English language that they needed to provide a translator for him at his arraignment.
