Vice-president JD Vance struck the “absurd” pretension of democratic legislators that Democrats do not try to provide benefits funded by taxpayers to illegal immigrants in an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday.

Vance said Democrats wanted to reintegrate Federal Funding from the Biden era for emergency health care for illegal immigrants who were completed by the Trump administration.

“They say:” We do not try to give health care services to illegal foreigners “, said Vance about Democrats. “And here is why it is not true.”

Vance called two Biden era programs “which explicitly gave money to taxpayers to illegal extraterrestrials that we deactivated when President Trump took over in January.”

The first Biden era program provided emergency health care for illegal immigrants in hospitals, the vice-president said.

“We have disabled this funding because, of course, we want American citizens to benefit from these hospital services, not to be taxed, then to make these hospital services go to illegal foreigners,” said Vance.

The “big and beautiful factor” of President Donald Trump has tightened who could receive a federal payment for emergency treatment and reduces the federal match for emergency coverage only.

Vance said that a second program in the Biden era had given a parole of mass to millions of foreigners illegal and simultaneously rendered parole eligible for health care funded by taxpayers.

The “Big and Beautiful Bill” withdrew the conditional releases of the eligibility for credits subsidized by taxpayers who were once provided under the Act respecting affordable care by redefining which is an “eligible foreigner”.

“In the” Big, a beautiful bill “, President Trump and the Congress Republicans deactivated this money in health care funding for illegal foreigners,” said Vance.

Now Vance says that the Democrats “want to reactivate it” while they are committed to a confrontation with the Republicans to finance the federal government, which started a partial closure Wednesday after the deadline for midnight finance adopted with the Democrats and the Republicans who did not agree on a financing bill.

“The first thing they published to reopen the government, they actually overthrew this money for health care services for illegal foreigners,” said Vance.

The White House Quick response x shared an image of the current proposal of the Democrat who repeals a subsection of the “Great and Beautiful Bill” concerning emergency health care for illegal immigrants, as well as two other images showing the table of contents “Big Beautiful Bill” and the real text of the bill which has effectively put an end to health care for illegal immigrants.

“So it’s not something we have invented,” said Vance. “This is not a subject of discussion. It is in the text of the bill that they initially gave us to reopen the government. It is absurd for (Democrats) to flee now.”

The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt alleged that the Democrats have designed the closure to force taxpayers to finance health care for undocumented immigrants, receiving a debt of 37 billions of dollars.

“To put all this in perspective, the Democrats refused to keep the government open to health care for illegal foreigners and have now compromised critical health care programs for American citizens,” she said. “Instead, the women’s, infants and children’s program, funding from the community health center, health insurance processing options and other health programs are now in danger due to the Democrats rejecting CR (continuous resolution).

“The most vulnerable in our country are being punished because Democrats want to prioritize illegal on American citizens.”

Vance said the objective should currently focus on the reopening of the government.

“But look, let’s put it all on the side. Opening the government,” he said. “We will negotiate all these health policy issues.”

“Obviously, we are not going to support health benefits for illegal foreigners, but we will work with them to reduce health costs for American citizens if they are ready to do so,” said Vance.
