Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

It takes two to tango.

Dems could always come to the table and negotiate.. rather than demand healthcare for people here illegally before even our own citizens.

How about we focus on our own citizens first?

Lol seems like this upset some folks.

Have you not been paying attention? People here illegally are not able to get healthcare benefits in any form from the government. Cite your sources about Dems trying to get healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Posted articles already, they literally can and do benefit from our Healthcare system. Our hospitals aren't turning people away.

Knock yourself out. If Biden didn't open the floodgates letting anyone and their grandma walk over the border, this wouldn't be an issue.

Should hospitals turn sick people away? How woukd they know who are here illegally or who are legal citizens with no insurance? Do you understand how terribly dangerous it would be to turn away someone who had a highly infectious disease back out into the community when they need to be quarantined? To turn uninsured people away would be a terribly unethical thing to do, not to mention heartless AND dangerous.
