Other key findings:

• For every 1 million undocumented immigrants who reside in the country, public services receive $8.9 billion in additional tax revenue. On the flip side, for every 1 million undocumented immigrants who are deported, public services stand to lose $8.9 billion in tax revenue.
• Providing access to work authorization to all current undocumented immigrants would increase their tax contributions by $40.2 billion per year, to $136.9 billion.
• More than a third of the tax dollars paid by undocumented immigrants are toward payroll taxes dedicated to funding programs – like Social Security and Medicare – that these workers are barred from accessing.
• Similarly, income tax payments by undocumented immigrants are affected by laws that require them to pay more than otherwise similarly situated U.S. citizens; as one example, they are often barred from receiving meaningful tax credits like the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit.
• Six states – California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, and New Jersey – raised more than $1 billion each in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants living within their borders.
• In a large majority of states (40), undocumented immigrants pay higher state and local tax rates than the top 1 percent of households living within their borders.

Schmitt Exposes Dem Misinformation, Confirms Trump’s BBB Cuts Medicaid for 1.4 Million Illegal Aliens

That’s great news!

I was wondering what kind of lying bullshit would be put out by the regime for the consumption of the rubes to distract from the main goal of the bill............tax cuts for the rich.

A False Claim About Illegal Immigration and Medicaid​

A House-passed reconciliation bill would reduce federal funding to states that provide state-funded health insurance to people in the U.S. illegally, resulting in 1.4 million people losing coverage, according to a preliminary Congressional Budget Office analysis. But President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers have wrongly cast the bill as removing these immigrants from Medicaid.

Medicaid is a joint federal-state government program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families. People living in the U.S. illegally are not eligible to receive Medicaid benefits other than for emergency medical services.

“A state funded program is by definition not Medicaid,” Leonardo Cuello, a research professor at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center for Children and Families, told us in an email.

But in a May 16 Truth Social post encouraging Republican lawmakers to support the wide-ranging House budget bill, which makes changes to Medicaid and extends expiring income tax cuts, among other things, Trump said the legislation would remove from Medicaid “millions” of people illegally residing in the country.

The middle class needs a tax cut: Trump didn’t give it to them

At a recent rally in Montana, President Trump claimed that “Republicans passed the biggest tax cuts in American history, the biggest in American history. Everybody in this room is better for them. Everybody is better for them.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t true. Everybody is not better off from the recent tax cuts, which have only served to increase the federal budget deficit—now $779 billion for FY 2018 according to new data released by the Treasury Department. To be sure, the middle class gets help temporarily, but over the longer run, the middle class will be worse off.

Trump and Republicans Mislead on Policy Bill’s Effect

“If it’s not approved, your taxes will go up by 68 percent.”

False. If the 2017 tax cuts expired, most taxpayers would see a modest increase in taxes, but nowhere near the 68 percent Mr. Trump cited.

“There’s also no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.”

This is exaggerated. The bill creates deductions for tips and overtime, but those breaks are temporary. And its tax reductions for Social Security benefits are even more limited.

“Senate Republicans are voting for the largest tax cut for middle-class Americans in history.”

False. Several recent pieces of legislation provided bigger boosts to the middle class.

“Here’s what we’re doing when it comes to Medicaid: It’s grown 50 percent in five years. It’s about to take over Medicare. What we’ve done is, we limited the growth of Medicaid to 6 percent for two years. After that, 4 percent growth. We haven’t cut Medicaid. We’ve reduced the growth.”

This is exaggerated. Mr. Graham has a point that Medicaid has grown substantially in recent years, but spending on Medicaid still remains significantly below that of Medicare. Moreover, his rejection of characterizing the bill’s Medicaid provisions as a “cut” is a familiar semantic argument in Washington, but ignores the effect on beneficiaries.

My question is, who was providing it to them? The states or the federal government?

The states. About a dozen of them. Using their own state taxpayer funds.

Why is that a problem for Republicans?

because they need an excuse to cut it from everyone else.

From the article it will now fall on the states. So buckle up NY and CA, there’s no federal funding coming your way to offset this expense.

From reports this will be done slowly over a period of years.

For every $1 a state spends on Medicaid the feds (us) kick in $9. That’s for able bodied folks.

[Seymour Flops]

It appears that the Democrats on here have dropped the lie that illegals don't get benefits like SNAP, TANF, Housing, and Medicaid.

I'm betting that this lie is being put aside temporarily. They will bring it back in later threads.

 

[Seymour Flops]

For every $1 a state spends on Medicaid the feds (us) kick in $9. That’s for able bodied folks.
‘Why are we giving them a penny?

Exactly.

That applies to every penny the state claims to spend on Medicaid patients, and it includes administrative costs such as high salaries for administrators, new buildings, new equipment, and plaques honoring the politicians who ordered the new buildings and equipment.

That nine-to-one match encourages the state to allow everyone who applies on Medicaid and to actively advertise for people to apply. No wonder the system has become bloated and unworkable.

 

[sartre play]

For all those screaming about CHILDERNS life's.
the Medicaid cuts will effect some where between 35 and 40 % of baby's &children's health care.
Their is ALLWAYS room for a little cleaning up in most gov programs.
Big cuts hurt the youngest & the elderly the most.

If it was always funded by the states, then why did those RINO's say they didn't vote for the BBB because of the cuts to Medicaid?
