Lawmakers reveal whether Americans should pick up the Medicaid tab for illegal immigrants

My God , the utter stupidity !!!

California has a $6.2 billion budget deficit for Medicaid services, and Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest budget proposal projects the state will spend a staggering $8.4 billion to cover Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid, for illegal immigrants in 2024-2025.

Two new reports by the Bureau of Economic Analysis found the U.S. economy has become increasingly reliant on government handouts. Entitlements are growing faster than tax receipts and wages. Private wages grew by $67 billion in early 2025, while government payments to recipients surged by $162 billion.

In North Carolina and California, growth in Medicaid benefits was the leading contributor to increased personal income. Coverage for undocumented immigrants under California’s $6.2 billion budget gap for Medi-Cal is contributing to the surge in personal income.

Is it any wonder Medicaid alone will cost taxpayers 10 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years !!! These moron run to the ER for minor injuries that can be treated at home , taxi rides to drug clinics , dental care , eye care , medical equipment and everything under the sun . And every single illegal in these sanctuary Cities gets Medicaid due to income qualification.

The reasons why Democrats hate the work the Department of Government Efficiency is doing to expose waste and fraud. All of the political class’s pet projects at our expense are being exposed, along with accentuating the security concerns from illegal immigration. Would it shock you, given what DOGE has uncovered, that illegals on the terror watch list got federal benefits? Oh yes, tax refunds, student loans, Medicaid, and unemployment benefits .

Among these 6.9k paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records (all have a social security number):

  • 1905 collecting Medicaid (including 4 on the terrorist watch list). $776k was paid out
  • 71 collecting Unemployment Insurance, receiving $142k in benefits
  • 22 received federal student loans totaling $280k
  • 409 received {net} tax refunds (2024 only) for $751k
  • Several (final number TBD) received SNAP (food stamp) benefits”
