Democrat President Joe Biden has provoked a fierce backlash after it emerged that his administration is giving taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal aliens.
Republicans in Congress are slamming the Biden admin after news broke Friday that illegal border crossers will get access to taxpayer-funded healthcare through Obamacare.
The Biden admin made changes to Obamacare rules to expand the “free” healthcare to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) issued statements blasting the decision.
They all warned that the policy is unfair to U.S. citizens who contribute to American society.
In a statement, Senator Vance said:
“There’s an unprecedented crisis at our southern border, we’ve got major conflicts around the world, and families all across Ohio are getting crushed by inflation.
“Joe Biden’s response to all this is to give your hard-earned money away to illegal immigrants in the form of taxpayer-funded healthcare.
“This is a slap in the face to every hardworking American who plays by the rules, and it would never happen if Donald Trump were president.”
This is a slap in the face to every citizen. The safety net exists for Americans, not illegal aliens.
