New Report Tracks $200 Million Spent On Illegal Immigrant Health Care

Exclusive: New Report Tracks $200 Million Spent On Illegal Immigrant Health Care

The day before the start of the latest shutdown drama, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries declared that Republicans were “lying” about the Democrats’ hostage demands to turn the lights back on. No, the left’s spending plan would not pay for health care for illegal immigrants, the New York Democrat said. Doing so would require a change in federal law that bars such a thing, echoed Jeffries’ pals in corporate media. 

“Nowhere have Democrats suggested that we’re interested in changing federal law,” he toldNBC News for a story under the misleading headline, “GOP misleads with claim that Democrats shut down to give health care to ‘illegal immigrants.’” The story, like a lot of reporting from the corporate media, hasn’t aged well.
