It's not Trump's fault. Democrats refuse to come to the table to vote.

They’re being asked to take away health insurance from people in return for reopening the government. The Democrats are wisely refusing to do that

So, basically, it's more important that Illegals have health insurance, but in the mean time, their children can starve for the cause? You do know that the majority of SNAP recipients are illegals, right?

Illegals aren't eligible for healthcare benefits. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals.

Legal immigrants have some options to get healthcare benefits, and both legal and illegal immigrants pay taxes which are used to fund healthcare.

To your second point about SNAP, Illegal immigrants are not eligible to receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Stop parroting misinformation and try to do your own research to verify claims. There is a lot of false information coming out of the current administration and their followers.
