Vice President J.D. Vance commented on the negotiations over government funding on Capitol Hill during an interview this morning on "FOX News Sunday."
Under our system, you need 60 Senate Democrats to vote for the clean continuing resolution that the president and House Republicans have put forward. I think it's preposterous, Martha. And I think the American people really should pay attention to the fact that Democrats are threatening to shut down the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of health care benefits to illegal aliens.
I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a political party actually advertising the fact that they want to shut down every essential function of government and they want to use that as leverage so that they get more money for illegal alien health care benefits.
It's such a stark contrast between Republicans, who are trying to put the interest of the American people first, and Democrats, who I think just want to take money from the American people to give benefits to illegal aliens. We don't want to shut down the government.
But if Democrats refuse to just pass this clean continuing resolution, that's exactly what's going to happen. And I think the Democrats are going to bear the responsibility for it.

So much drama
I agree with you, although Vance did well.
He handles himself like a pro.
Well done VP Vance. Trump picked well this time around and has selected well-spoken advocates for his positions.
Vance is the very best republican politician at getting Trump’s positions across and he does it with a very pleasant demeanor. He goes on these shows so that people who would never watch anything that is even remotely conservative might hear what he says. He almost always gets the best of the so-called journalist (inquisitor).
This.
Typical democrats
SCREW the American people.
I don’t see democrats demand that *I* get free healthcare.
Vance is excellent with the “news” people. This is good practice so he will be well seasoned by the time he becomes President in 2028.

That’s because they value illegal aliens more than US citizens.

Correct.
I’ve come to realize folks wouldn’t know there is even an other side to embarrass if the lions on our side didn’t at come out to try and make a case. It must work because Trump is back in office and is far more effective this time around.
Maybe one day conservatives will be gone. Then it will be a feeding frenzy on the left. Some group that was a useful tool in vanquishing the right will be put on the outs and be the left’s new Trotskyites.
True.
Hopefully if he wins the republican nomination for president he wins in a landslide.
The Dems need to keep the magnet turned on. That’s the reason, IMO.
Vance/Rubio
I pay many thousands of dollars each year for Health Insurance. So should illegals.
Actually if you present to an ER you will be taken care of by law, as it should be. However, free health care insurance is a magnet that will draw more illegals to the USA just as the democrats want.
I would suggest an identity check in ER and if illegal notify ICE but do take care of any emergency medical care they need.
If they can't be coralled they will be stealing everything
they can just to have something to trade for food. jmo
Then they will be living off our tax dollars and who is
going to be short changed?
In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue and see where we
are today. If we don't soon get tablets/vacinations out there
we will be degenerating rapidly. jmo
