16.2 billion for Medicaid would be around 2% for Medicaid spending on emergency services which is completely legal btw. I guess if by “we’re paying for illegals healthcare” we mean we’re not letting them die then I guess that’s true. Would you rather 1. hospitals foot the bill or 2. We just let illegals die bc we refuse to give them emergency care?

That report from CBO discusses Medicaid spending on illegal immigrants for emergency services. To be clear: that has been covered since 1986 (thanks Reagan). If you show up to a hospital they are required to screen you for a life-threatening emergency. If you have one, they must treat or transfer you regardless of your ability to pay or immigration status

That is covered under something called “emergency Medicaid”. Full Medicaid is not given to most immigrants (and definitely not undocumented ones) unless the state provides it with their own money. Federal funding cannot be used if an undocumented immigrant shows up to the doctor’s office with a cough, fever, etc

Because there’s a variety of illegal immigrants. Believe it or not they are people too. So some of them are hard working and come here on work visas and overstay them and continue to work, and some of them come here not on any visa, and get handed benefits and social services while they sit on their ass and do nothing. Duality of man if you will. The only people that should receive social services are citizens and people with valid visas who pay taxes.

Even if this WERE true, which I doubt (but i’d welcome proof)— housing unhoused people is not a bad thing. There are more EMPTY HOUSES than there are homeless people.

Assuming they are all being ‘persecuted’ yeah sure whatever but they aren’t and the system has been being abused bc it’s an easy access card to the US. There’s obviously not programs specifically for illegals but I’m saying they should not be eligible for these programs en masse.

Also the fact that while this is all happening the hotels also charged for an estimated 9,874 vacant rooms, artificially inflating room costs, and not to mention while the taxpayer dime is doing all this there’s over 91,000 homeless citizens on the streets.

See my other comment. Everyone should be housed but sanctuary cities/states are focusing more on these ‘asylum seekers’ than our own citizens, and the governments are using it as an excuse to embezzle and run rampant with corruption(not that they weren’t already before this was an issue, ex: California’s homelessness initiatives) because it’s a flagship issue to house foreigners for you guys apparently.
