We’ve been arguing about whether this is true or false this board, but it’s finally been looking into by the independent PolitiFact. The verdict:
The claim is a lie. No push to give an illegal immigrants healthcare. Excerpt:
“The Democrats' proposal wouldn’t give health care to immigrants illegally in the U.S. — they are already largely ineligible for federally funded health care. Instead, the proposal would restore access to certain health care programs for legal immigrants who will lose access under the Republican law.
The White House did not respond to PolitiFact’s request for comment for this fact-check. Vance addressed criticism of his talking point in another interview by saying it was included in the Democrats’ spending proposal; it’s not.”
I have something to say, though. Liberals lie way more often than conservatives. Yes, in this particular case we were the liars, but it doesn’t erase the record of lies coming from the liberal side.”
Do Democrats want health care for ‘illegal aliens’?
Republicans said Democrats shut down the government because they want health care for immigrants in the U.S. illegally. That’s False. Democrats want to reverse parts of Trump’s spending law that made some legal immigrants ineligible for health care.
