Democrats of Prioritizing Illegal Immigrants in $200 Billion Healthcare Push
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt sharply criticized Democrats for the ongoing federal government shutdown, now in its sixth day, accusing them of prioritizing benefits for illegal immigrants over American citizens. In a press conference Monday, Leavitt declared, “If Democrats do not vote to open the government tonight, federal workers will not receive their next full paycheck, the special nutrition program for women and infants will run out of money, and service members will miss their next paycheck.” House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office echoed this, stating unequviocally that Democrats are pushing $1.5 trillion in partisan spending, including nearly $200 billion in taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens.
