Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose how the Trump administration is spreading completely false claims that Democrats are shutting down the government to provide free healthcare to undocumented immigrants, despite federal law explicitly prohibiting such benefits since 1996. The hosts reveal how the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act bars undocumented immigrants from accessing federally funded healthcare, including Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act, with exceptions only for emergency lifesaving care and lawfully present immigrants like green card holders. They detail how Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have been fact-checked as false or highly misleading by NPR, NBC, BBC, CNN, AP, ABC, CBS, and FactCheck.org for deliberately conflating lawful immigrants with undocumented ones, while undocumented workers actually pay billions in federal, state, and local taxes annually while being ineligible for most benefits those taxes support.
