Ya think?
What could possibly go wrong?
The next step should be for the government to investigate every person collecting public assistance and require the ones who are able bodied to
get a job.
That alone will save billions if not trillions. People who scam the
welfare system are the lowest form of life. Total scum.
"Blue States Starting to Curb �Free� Healthcare to Migrants as Budgets
Spin Out of Control"

"A host of deep blue states are quietly pulling back from their generous programs of �free� healthcare to migrants as federal dollars dry up and
their budgets continue to spiral into the red.
With the Trump administration beginning to close the spigot of billions
in federal aid that many states lavishly spent caring for illegal
migrants, sates including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York,
Oregon Washington, and the District of Columbia are finding that they
cannot afford to replace the chocked off federal dollars with their own
state budget dollars. This reality setting in has caused state officials
to begin scaling back their freebies to illegals, which all come at the expense of American citizens.
According to the Washington Examiner, 14 states have had been devoting
untold millions to migrants, for their children, and for pregnant, non-
citizen women.
But after President Donald Trump signed his �Big Beautiful� spending
bill, cutting billions in federal aid with cuts to Medicaid, CHIP,
Medicare, and Obamacare insurance subsidies, many states have been forced
to make decisions about their migrant programs.
The cutbacks also reflect the Democrats� difficulty in funding their
hugely expensive urban political machines. Those �Sanctuary City Ponzi
scheme� political machines need poor migrants to help conduit federal
funds back to local city and state politicians, partly because many
productive Americans move away to low-migration cities and states that
have lower taxes, less diversity, better schools, higher wages, and
cheaper housing.
Thus far, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Washington the District of Columbia have already begun cutting free migrant healthcare budgets. And several others are in the process of evaluating similar
measures.

Some migrant�s rights activists worry that the cuts will hurt migrants in
the coming years.
�The federal government shifted much more of the financial burden of
providing those services to states. And so, states are taking a holistic
view at their healthcare budgets and trying to figure out where they can
cut,� said Medha Makhlouf, a law professor and expert on migrants� access
to healthcare in the U.S.
But Cooper Smith, director of homeland security and immigration at the
America First Policy Institute, says it is more than reasonable that
Americans get to decide with to do with our tax dollars.
�Taxpayers pay into a system,� Smith told the paper. �I think it�s
reasonable to expect that those who have paid into the system should be
the primary beneficiaries of public benefit.�
Oddly enough, California � the state with the most generous benefits for illegals � was one of the first to cut some access to migrants.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a state budget that prevents
immigrants who are here illegally from enrolling in Medi-Cal, the state�s Medicaid program. The budget also ruled that current enrollees will now
have to pay a $30 monthly premium. The state is also cancelling dental
care for non-citizens.
On the tail of California�s cuts, states including Illinois and Colorado
� both extremely blue states with heavy subsidies for lawbreaking illegal migrants � also began scaling back their spending on healthcare for
migrants.
For its part, Illinois began cutting free healthcare programs in March of
last year. Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker announced the cuts to a
program that had only just launched three years previously due to wild overspending and budget shortfalls.
New York has also started making some small cuts in their migrant
programs. Empire State Democrats are narrowing the income eligibility
rules for its �Essential Plan,� which provides a no-premium plan for
those here legally that do not qualify for Medicaid.
It is likely all these cuts would be quickly reversed if Democrats take control of Congress and the White House again, but the fact that cuts are being made now shows the success that the Trump administration enjoys
today and should get credit for"
