   For months, Democrats have insisted that illegal immigrants are not   
   getting taxpayer-funded healthcare, either via Medicare or Medicaid. Two   
   weeks ago, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson even dropped a video   
   compiling Democrats and their media allies saying as much.   
      
   CNN's Kaitlan Collins said, "People who are here in the United States   
   illegally have never been eligible for the Obamacare subsidies, for   
   Medicare, or for Medicaid." Her colleague Jake Tapper also said it wasn't   
   happening, telling Johnson himself, "So just as a point of fact," Tapper   
   said, "it's against the law for non-citizens to get those subsidies."   
      
   Meet the Press host Kristen Welker also claimed it wasn't happening.   
   "Undocumented immigrants, as you know, are actually ineligible for federal   
   healthcare...Right now, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for   
   federal healthcare programs," she said.   
      
   House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck   
   Schumer also said similar things. Gavin Newsom proved them all liars, as   
   Johnson's video showed.   
      
   But now a judge has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, dealing   
   another blow to the Democratic Party's lie about illegal immigrants   
   getting Medicaid benefits.   
      
   U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said the Trump administration can share   
   location data about illegal immigrants receiving public health insurance   
   benefits with ICE, starting in January.   
      
   Gee, how can President Trump share Medicaid data with ICE when Democrats   
   have sworn up and down that illegal immigrants aren't getting Medicaid?   
      
   In his seven-page order, Chhabria wrote, "The sharing of such information   
   is clearly authorized by law, and the agencies have adequately explained   
   their decisions."   
      
   Democrat-run states opposed the data sharing, which is why the case wound   
   its way through the court systems, including California and 21 others.   
      
   California's Attorney General Rob Bonta sued the Trump administration in   
   July to prevent the use of Medicaid data in targeting illegal immigrants,   
   and a spokesperson for the California Department of Justice said illegals   
   signed up for the state's healthcare program believing their data would be   
   used for healthcare purposes alone.   
      
   "The Trump Administration’s effort to use Medicaid data for immigration   
   enforcement is a violation of their trust and will lead to fewer people   
   seeking vital healthcare," the spokesperson said in a statement.   
      
   If such a ruling means fewer illegals will use taxpayer money to get   
   healthcare — healthcare Democrats said they weren't getting in the first   
   place — that's a win.   
      
   Even Politico admits illegal immigrants aren't eligible to enroll in   
   federal Medicaid programs. Still, California, Illinois, Colorado, New   
   York, Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota allow people on Medicaid   
   regardless of their immigration status.   
      
   The ruling limits data sharing to those in the United States illegally and   
   may include citizenship, immigration status, address, phone number, date   
   of birth, and Medicaid ID. It also prohibits the collection of information   
   from other immigrants receiving Medicaid and bars HHS and ICE from sharing   
   "potentially sensitive medical information."   
      
   DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the ruling is a "victory for the   
   rule of law and American taxpayers."   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
